E-Mobility in the Aftermarket: New Opportunities for Workshops and Distributors
The transition to electric mobility is creating new opportunities across the aftermarket. With MAHLE's growing e-mobility portfolio, workshops and distributors can confidently support the rapidly expanding population of electric vehicles on European roads.
What is considered an electric vehicle?
Electric vehicles (EVs) include both battery electric vehicles (BEVs), powered entirely by electricity, and hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs), which combine electric and conventional powertrains.
Today, MAHLE’s global e-mobility range covers more than 38.7 million EVs in EMEA with over 2,777 SKUs, delivering solutions for many of the world's leading electric vehicle manufacturers.
Coverage That Matters
Our portfolio supports some of Europe's leading EV brands, including Toyota, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Audi, Renault, VW, Hyundai, Kia, Ford, Tesla, Volvo and others. As vehicle coverage continues to expand, MAHLE is helping partners stay ahead of the transition to electric mobility.

CareMetix® Filter LAO 1294
MAHLE cabin filters reliably supply the driver and passengers with clean air. They reduce dust on the dashboard and in the cabin, and avoid dangerous fogging of the windows. They also reduce the load on the blower and protect the HVAC system from contamination. Irreparable damage can occur to the air conditioning or heating system. The replacement intervals recommended by vehicle manufacturers should therefore always be followed. Rule of thumb: every 15,000 to 20,000 km. A regular sales driver for every repair shop.
CareMetix®
Who's in the car, needs clean air to ensure a safe and concentrated participation in the traffic–and to feel comfortable. The air we breathe is, however, often loaded with harmful and allergenic substances and odors, which conventional filters can not eliminate.
The solution: Our world first CareMetix® with S5 broadband technology—5 layers provide 5-fold protection
A failure can make itself noticeable as follows:
- Fogged-up car windows
- Unpleasant odors in the car
- Allergy symptoms in the car
Causes for a defect could be:
- Clogged cabin air filter
- Extended replacement interval
- Clogged drain holes in the vehicle's air box—causing the cabin air filter to remain constantly wet
Battery Air Filter LX 6222
High-quality air filters for drive battery housings from MAHLE Lifecycle and Mobility have a positive impact on the efficiency and service life of air-cooled high-voltage batteries. In some hybrid vehicles, cabin air is directed into the battery housing to cool the drive battery. This can allow dust and particles to enter the battery module. The consequences: reduced performance, overheating, or even battery failure. A high-quality air filter prevents this and keeps the system running efficiently over the long term. It is recommended to clean the filter every 6 months and replace it after 2 years at the latest or if visible cracks appear.
A failure can make itself noticeable as follows:
- Battery gets too hot
- The vehicle's charging power is reduced
Causes for a defect could be:
- Filter is heavily clogged
- Filter service is overdue
Input Filter MPI 2
MAHLE OE-quality input filters protect the battery as well as the charging and power electronics from overvoltage and electromagnetic interference when charging electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles, and ensure stable current flow.
The durable input filters from MAHLE meet the exact specifications of the components installed by the vehicle manufacturers, guaranteeing perfect fit and function.
A failure can make itself noticeable as follows:
- Error message in the vehicle
- Vehicle has stopped moving
- Vehicle is no longer charging
Causes for a defect could be:
- Thermal overload
- Voltage spikes
- Loose cable gland (interruptions and voltage spikes)
