Uno Minda, a leading Tier 1 supplier of proprietary automotive solutions to Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) in India, has announced the launch of its technologically advanced D-90 horns. This new product range is set to meet the rising demand for high-quality replacement horns in the Indian automotive aftermarket.
Addressing the Need for Reliable Horns
India has seen a significant rise in car ownership over the past decade. This leads to increased traffic and more frequent honking. Consequently, horn failures have become more common, driving the need for reliable, high-quality OEM-spec horns. Customers often face a dilemma between costly manufacturer service center replacements and lower-quality aftermarket alternatives. Uno Minda’s D-90 horns aim to provide a solution that matches the original manufacturer’s quality while remaining affordable.
High-Quality OEM-Spec Horns for Indian Vehicles
Uno Minda’s D-90 horns are designed to meet the exacting standards of Maruti Suzuki, Tata passenger vehicles, and light commercial vehicles. Mr. Anand Kumar, Head of Product & Strategy, Aftermarket Uno Minda Ltd., emphasized the importance of this launch: “The original parts in the cars may wear out with time but it is essentially not possible for people to visit manufacturers service stations all the time specially for horns. We also understood that the customer is looking for OEM quality aftermarket horns that have the same quality and features that the original horn had at the time of purchase of their car. Being an OEM supplier to all major automakers in India, we have introduced a comprehensive range of D90 horns, providing Maruti, Tata, and light commercial vehicle owners with the opportunity to replace their horns with the same quality as the original manufacturer’s, meeting all safety standards while remaining budget-friendly.”
Robust Performance and Durability
The D-90 horn boasts a 90 mm diameter and a robust sound output exceeding 105-110 decibels. This adheres well to Indian RTO guidelines. Operating on a 12-volt power supply, the horn requires less than 2.5 Amps to deliver a powerful yet pleasant sound. The horns are ultra-durable, tested for over 300,000 usage cycles, and are certified under IS 1884:1993 standards. This ensures they are 100% waterproof. The zinc-nickel black plating provides extended rust resistance. Additionally, the imported diaphragm and tungsten contact material ensure a longer lifespan, Anand added.
Tailor-Made for Indian Conditions D-90 horns
Uno Minda’s D-90 horns are designed to withstand the harsh environmental conditions typical of Indian roads. They come with a two-year manufacturing warranty and are competitively priced between INR 295 and INR 855. These horns are available for purchase from a variety of top-tier online and offline retail outlets.
