With {annual|yearly} sales of EUR 898 million, MAHLE Aftermarket {has|has actually} {steered|guided} {a stable|a steady} course through the {exceptional|remarkable|extraordinary} {circumstances|situations|scenarios} of 2020. The Stuttgart-based {automotive|automobile|vehicle} {supplier|provider}’s {business|company|service|organization} {unit|system} for {spare|extra} parts and workshop {equipment|devices} is now resuming the {growth|development} course of the preceding years. The focus is on {four|4} {strategic|tactical} {areas|locations}: the digitalization of services, {information|info|details} offerings, and {processes|procedures}, the {development|advancement} of {new|brand-new} {business|company|service|organization} {areas|locations} for workshops, and the {expansion|growth} of the fields of thermal management and workshop {equipment|devices}. MAHLE Aftermarket is {strongly|highly} {positioned|placed} with {{a wide|a broad|a large} {range|variety}|a wide variety|a large range|a vast array} of {new|brand-new} {innovations|developments} in the {areas|locations} of calibration, transmission oil management, and {air conditioning|a/c|cooling} service. In addition, the Group will {increasingly|progressively|significantly} {offer|provide|use} aftermarket {solutions|services|options} for alternative drives through to battery and fuel cell {maintenance|upkeep}. MAHLE Aftermarket’s {range|variety} {already|currently} {includes|consists of} around 200 cabin filters for {electric|electrical} {vehicles|cars|automobiles|lorries}, 80 oil and fuel filters for hybrid {vehicles|cars|automobiles|lorries}, and 70 air filters for {vehicles|cars|automobiles|lorries} with fuel cell or hybrid drives.
“Our {expertise|proficiency|knowledge|competence|know-how} as {an original|an initial} {equipment|devices} {manufacturer|producer|maker} {enables|allows} us to {anticipate|expect|prepare for} market and {technology|innovation} {trends|patterns} at an early {stage|phase} and to {offer|provide|use} independent workshops a growing portfolio from the Group’s {strategic|tactical} fields,” {says|states} Olaf Henning, Corporate Executive Vice President and General {Manager|Supervisor} MAHLE Aftermarket at {a press conference|an interview} in Stuttgart on Wednesday.One of the {main|primary} pillars of MAHLE Aftermarket’s {strategy|technique|method} for the future is digitalization. The {company|business} {plans|prepares} to invest around EUR 16 million in this {area|location} over the next {three|3} years. This {investment|financial investment} is to {flow|stream} both into {information|info|details} services to {guide|direct|assist} workshops {safely|securely} through the {transformation|change|improvement} and into the digitalization and automation of logistics {processes|procedures}. MAHLE is {already|currently} making {everyday|daily} life {easier|simpler|much easier} for workshops
with {{a wide|a broad|a large} {range|variety}|a wide variety|a large range|a vast array} of digital {information|info|details} {solutions|services|options}. MAHLE is {also|likewise} {consistently|regularly} {expanding|broadening} this in its other {strategic|tactical} {areas|locations}, thermal management and workshop {equipment|devices}. In this {way|method}, the {technology|innovation} group is {enabling|allowing|making it possible for} independent workshops to {compensate for|make up for} {declining|decreasing} {business|company|service|organization} in the {servicing|maintenance} of {vehicles|cars|automobiles|lorries} with internal combustion engines by {developing|establishing} {new|brand-new} fields that {include|consist of} the {servicing|maintenance} of battery {temperature|temperature level} control systems, the calibration of {driver|chauffeur|motorist} {assistance|support|help} systems, and extended {air conditioning|a/c|cooling} service. This is {because|since|due to the fact that} the cooling of the {electric|electrical} motor, power {electronics|electronic devices}, and battery, the {temperature|temperature level} control of the cabin, and semi-autonomous driving will {become|end up being} {increasingly|progressively|significantly} {important|essential|crucial} for future {vehicle|car|automobile|lorry} generations. MAHLE Aftermarket is broadly {positioned|placed} in these {areas|locations} with {numerous|various|many} {product|item} {innovations|developments}. With the calibration tool TechPRO Digital ADAS 2.0, {for example|for instance}, MAHLE {impressively|remarkably} {demonstrates|shows} the leaps in {development|advancement} that are possible, {especially|particularly|specifically} in the field of workshop {equipment|devices}. The {new|brand-new} {version|variation} {enables|allows|makes it possible for} the {fully|completely|totally} {automatic|automated} calibration of {driver|chauffeur|motorist} {assistance|support|help} systems {using|utilizing} {automatic|automated} {vehicle|car|automobile|lorry} {recognition|acknowledgment} in under one minute. {Conventional|Traditional|Standard} {methods|techniques|approaches} take half an hour to do this. With the {introduction|intro} of semi-autonomous driving and functions such as lane departure {warning|caution} or brake {assist|help}, this {area|location} is {gaining|acquiring|getting} in significance.|The focus is on {four|4} {strategic|tactical} {areas|locations}: the digitalization of services, {information|info|details} offerings, and {processes|procedures}, the {development|advancement} of {new|brand-new} {business|company|service|organization} {areas|locations} for workshops, and the {expansion|growth} of the fields of thermal management and workshop {equipment|devices}.”Our {expertise|proficiency|knowledge|competence|know-how} as {an original|an initial} {equipment|devices} {manufacturer|producer|maker} {enables|allows} us to {anticipate|expect|prepare for} market and {technology|innovation} {trends|patterns} at an early {stage|phase} and to {offer|provide|use} independent workshops a growing portfolio from the Group’s {strategic|tactical} fields,” {says|states} Olaf Henning, Corporate Executive Vice President and General {Manager|Supervisor} MAHLE Aftermarket at a press conference in Stuttgart on Wednesday.One of the {main|primary} pillars of MAHLE Aftermarket’s {strategy|technique|method} for the future is digitalization.
