Aftermarket of tomorrow—from the oil pump to the oil management module
Stuttgart/Germany, November 25, 2019 – The oil pump is a traditional part of the day-to-day life of a workshop. But how is oil management changing with the advent of e-mobility?
- Electric and hybrid vehicles require lightweight and efficient oil management solutions
- With its OEM expertise, MAHLE is able to supply the aftermarket quickly
The demands on oil management in electric vehicles with an oil-cooled powertrain differ significantly from those of a classic combustion engine. That’s why MAHLE has launched a new oil management module for the OEM segment, with a unit that comprises a filter, electric oil pump, cooler, and thermostat. This oil management module enables vehicle manufacturers to deal with the increasing requirements associated with the development of high-performance electric drives. MAHLE is able to bring the replacement parts needed for maintenance and repair—such as filter elements, coolers, or pumps—to the aftermarket quickly, thanks to its expertise in original equipment.
“A MAHLE product used for original equipment today can be offered as a complete solution for the aftermarket tomorrow—with a high level of availability, top quality, and all the services and information needed in the workshop. These range from diagnostics to training,” explains Olaf Henning, Corporate Executive Vice President and General Manager MAHLE Aftermarket.
By continuously expanding its product portfolio in the area of new mobility, MAHLE has been preparing for the mobility transformation for some time—and is paving the way for the MAHLE Aftermarket portfolio of tomorrow. As a solutions provider, MAHLE not only has the right spare parts to hand but also supports the workshops with diagnostics tools and service equipment, training, and repair and maintenance information (RMI).
