History

edit

Trans ACNR Solutions Private Limited was established in 2003, with its initial commercial focus on bus air-conditioning and transport refrigeration systems for the Indian transport sector.[4] The company developed an early nationwide service network comprising company-owned sales and service centres in cities including Delhi, Bhubaneswar, Dera Bassi, Bengaluru, Indore, Cochin, Trivandrum, Patna, Raipur, Jamshedpur, Kozhikode, Noida, Lucknow, Gurugram, Ahmedabad, Navi Mumbai, Pune, Vijayawada, Hyderabad and Chennai, with resident sales and service personnel stationed at additional locations across India.[4]

By its first decade of operation, Trans ACNR had established a presence as a supplier to bus manufacturers and fleet operators across India through its JTAC brand.[4]

In 2018, the company presented the JTAC Silent Series air-conditioning system, a product designed specifically for sleeper coach bus applications, at Bus World India.[5] During this period, Trans ACNR also commenced the supply of HVAC systems for electric buses and initiated development of Battery Thermal Management Systems for electric bus platforms.[5]

In November 2020, Trans ACNR entered into a partnership with Omega Seiki Mobility to supply thermal management systems for refrigerated electric three-wheelers and commercial vehicles.[6][7]

In February 2026, Trans ACNR commenced construction of a new 130,000-square-foot manufacturing facility at Shoolagiri, near Bengaluru, in Tamil Nadu, intended for the production of bus air-conditioning systems under the JTAC brand. Commercial production at the facility is scheduled to commence in December 2026.[8] The facility is expected to create approximately 200 direct employment opportunities in the region.[8]
