Gaël Escribe<br />

DEAR <strong>NEXUS</strong> FRIENDS,<br />

If I were to use two words to sum up a key theme of this issue of IN!SIDE it would be ‘making connections’.<br />

Already this year we have held Connecting Days in Latin America, India and Turkey. More will<br />

follow in the coming months, including Dubai, China and Central Europe.<br />

We will be making connections when we exhibit at Equip Auto Paris in October, followed by the<br />

<strong>NEXUS</strong>AUTO tour in France. And we have been busy working on CON!NECT 2.0, an upgrade of our<br />

unique <strong>NEXUS</strong> connections tool in collaboration with a project team composed of selected N! members<br />

and suppliers. We are currently working on a lot of digital tools and services. This is in keeping<br />

with the increasing digitalisation of the aftermarket.<br />

5<br />

I am pleased to say that work on the N! Truck app project that we announced at N!BF <strong>2019</strong> is progressing<br />

well, and we should be in a position to launch it in September.<br />

There is news of all these initiatives in this edition of IN!SIDE, along with updates on the latest developments<br />

for the N! Academy and the workshop concepts, <strong>NEXUS</strong>AUTO and <strong>NEXUS</strong>TRUCK.<br />

All of the above are examples of how we are continually looking to strengthen our business services<br />

to support you, N! members and suppliers, in established consolidated markets as well as emerging ones.<br />

I hope you enjoy reading this edition of IN!SIDE.<br />

Kind regards,<br />

Following the results of a survey addressed to members and suppliers to investigate the current<br />

platform usability, <strong>NEXUS</strong> and the project team will work together to identify all the needs of<br />

the community in order to provide the best digital tools for future users of CON!NECT.<br />

We will share all the important updates concerning the development of the tool with the community<br />

<strong>NEXUS</strong> IN! SIDE


IN!SIGHT<br />

Marketplace, telematics, connected vehicle, we are all aware of these new aftermarket trends. Technology is shaping<br />

the future of the aftermarket and the New Year will be again marked by it. Especially, it is the customer expectation<br />

which is changing generating a disruption of the value chain, a transformation in end consumer access and a shift in<br />

profit pools. As first article of the IN!SIGHT blog, we talk about the aftermarket megatrends with the <strong>NEXUS</strong> CEO, Gael<br />

Escribe.<br />

Following the automotive aftermarket megatrends, what is <strong>NEXUS</strong> position regarding the consolidation of<br />

the aftermarket?<br />

Consolidation is progressing and transforming the aftermarket landscape. In the last two years we saw acquisition<br />

and merging activities among large automotive suppliers and distribution networks which created<br />

opportunities but also some concerns. More consolidation leads automatically to the creation of new distributions<br />

approaches to the market and to more investment capacities. <strong>NEXUS</strong> is entertaining an open dialogue<br />

with all the aftermarket actors: car makers, suppliers, repair network, <strong>online</strong> networks, distributors, etc. We<br />

believe that consolidation can be both a threat for our Members, not being able to reach critical size, but also<br />

an attractive occasion to grow and generate values. We are therefore always ready to support our community<br />

to help them on their strategic initiatives.<br />

44<br />

What is your strategy to face the digitalization of the market?<br />

One of the three <strong>NEXUS</strong> pillars is “Innovation” as we work on strategies aimed at simplifying our community<br />

daily life but also to increase their growth and business. Digitalization / digitization are somehow synonymous<br />

of innovation. Through digitization we saw that a significant impact was on the disruption process, creating a<br />

new way to distribute parts and to avoid fragmented markets. We have launched an <strong>online</strong> platform, www.<br />

marketparts.com, with the aim at giving as much opportunities as possible to our community, to be part of the<br />

change in the aftermarket panorama. “In order to provide a full community experience, we have also created<br />

IT tools such as the digital <strong>NEXUS</strong> Contact Book 2.0 or the <strong>NEXUS</strong> App -for our annual congress- that enables<br />

real-time communication between members and suppliers. CON!NECT 2.0 was created in 2016, and it is an intranet<br />

platform to connect our global community in one click. We are currently working on an upgrade of it. All<br />

the actions that we take are aimed at simplifying and boasting all our projects, from the N! Academy trainings<br />

to the <strong>NEXUS</strong> workshop networks. Everything is connected and we can’t leave behind any single elements.<br />

And what about mobility? Is <strong>NEXUS</strong> involved to face this trend?<br />

We are aware that mobility is changing, especially in Europe, but also globally speaking. Mobility is impacting<br />

the aftermarket and therefore vehicle usage and maintenance. Despite the average age of the cars is significantly<br />

increasing, the shift from parts to services is in process causing a more professional and less fragmented<br />

aftermarket service model. Here, to win the game, education is at stake and the N! Academy trainings are<br />

designed to embrace the opportunities and challenges of mobility to better train and prepare the <strong>NEXUS</strong><br />

community. <strong>NEXUS</strong> has established as well a N! Telematics project team which is already actively involved and<br />

have met major players in connected vehicle technology, to have a global overview of the connected vehicle<br />

for tomorrow in term of strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats.<br />

IN!SIGHT<br />

A high-performing Senior Sales Executive (EMEA region) with over 20 years of experience in the international Automotive<br />

Aftermarket with special emphasis in the Commercial Vehicle Independent Aftermarket. Results driven, he has an analytical<br />

mindset and strong international team leadership skills. Holder of a Master’s degree in Engineering and a Diploma in Management<br />

and Marketing. Today, he is a <strong>NEXUS</strong> global business developer for the heavy duty sector. Janusz speaks fluent<br />

English, German, Polish and Russian and is a ski instructor and an Alfa Romeo classic car enthusiast.<br />

Janusz Zielinski, <strong>NEXUS</strong> Heavy Duty business developer, provides an insight into his experience and the trends<br />

shaping the future for the Trucks industry.<br />

Janusz, your curriculum seems to be 100% truck driven. Can you tell us more about your experience within the<br />

heavy duty sector? I was always fascinated by the automotive industry and I started my career more than 25<br />

years ago becoming an expert in the heavy duty aftermarket. I started at the RVI Dealer network in Poland,<br />

switched to Schaeffler in Poland (Hd clutch & steering components), Sales and business development. In the last<br />

13 years I worked at Meritor as sales and business development seniors EMEA.<br />

Given your professional experience, what kind of transformation have you seen in this sector?<br />

First of all, market consolidation; big players starting to become international, creating unique structures together<br />

with other global organizations also in the truck industry. The distribution model also began to look<br />

more like the Passenger Car business, eliminating small’s shops and directly delivering to fleets and workshops.<br />

During these years, the trend at a regional level has moved towards more big fleets with over 1,000 units and<br />

less fleet owners. Also, the demand for quality parts has increased and the private label model has become<br />

more popular for accessories and commodity products.<br />

45<br />

Given the trend, what do you think are the main changes which we will see in the coming years?<br />

The market is evolving globally for both sectors, heavy duty and passenger cars, with the same dynamics. For<br />

heavy duty spare parts distributors there will be stronger globalization and market consolidation, there will<br />

also be digitalization of the distribution business. New environmental laws are also affecting the market, especially<br />

within cities with the electrification of buses and small trucks. For long-distance trucks and vans, new<br />

modern technologies, especially for diesel engines, will see a strong focus on cost per kilometer reduction to<br />

increase profit for fleets.<br />

Do you think that <strong>NEXUS</strong> is prepared to face these challenges?<br />

<strong>NEXUS</strong> understands market trends very well and is able to react very quickly. We are developing solutions for<br />

the heavy duty sector for e-vehicles of the future and are continually looking for new partners who are experts<br />

in parts supply and delivery, diagnostic tooling, and software and technical knowledge.<br />

<strong>NEXUS</strong> is also at the forefront in digitalization, e-commerce and new web-shop channels and will continue to<br />

develop innovative strategies to be a step ahead in the market and anticipate the changes.<br />

Benjamin Abitbol, <strong>NEXUS</strong> Business Developer for French speaking countries, who is also the founder of Renovatio, a<br />

start-up business supplying spare parts for classic cars, discusses the growing interest in these ‘grand old ladies of the<br />

road’.<br />

46<br />

What are the trends in the classic car aftermarket?<br />

For a long time the classic car market was considered to be small, populated by knowledgeable enthusiasts who<br />

only drove a few miles per year. But over the past 5 to 7 years this market has expanded progressively, both in<br />

size and in levels of interest.<br />

There are several reasons for this expansion – car makers have been looking backwards for their design and<br />

style strategies, increasingly technology on modern cars has resulted in a lesser driving experience and there has<br />

been a general trend towards all things ‘vintage’. All this has created more reasons to drive.<br />

In addition, cars from the 1980s and 1990s have ‘come of age’, now being old enough to be considered rare.<br />

The people who drove them are now aged 40 to 45-years-old, we call them ‘young-timers’, as opposed to<br />

‘old-timers’.<br />

The choice available to these ‘young-timers’ is much wider. There were more models and more production in<br />

the 1980s compared to the 1960s.<br />

Also, prices have remained low on average compared to the collector cars from the ‘60s. Plus, cars from this<br />

period can be driven, almost daily, as they are safe with reasonable fuel consumption and relatively low maintenance<br />

is required.<br />

As a result, the classic car parc now represents 13 million cars in Europe! It is no longer small and the demand<br />

for aftermarket classic car parts is growing by 10 to 15% per year, depending on which country you are in.<br />

In Europe, the main countries are Germany, France, the UK, Italy, Netherlands and Belgium, but we also notice<br />

interest growing in Portugal, Spain and Poland.<br />

What is Renovatio?<br />

Renovatio Automotive is a start-up business in the aftermarket industry, 100% focused on classic cars.<br />

As we have seen, there is a steadily growing appetite for classic cars. But even though there are more classic cars<br />

running, the market is still fragmented. Everyone must manage things themselves and constantly look for new<br />

solutions, both private individuals and professionals alike.<br />

In a worst case scenario, a lack of spare parts means that certain classic cars can no longer be driven. This is why<br />

we created Renovatio, which means ‘revival’ or ‘rebirth’ in Latin. And this is just the idea: to revive these classics<br />

thanks to modern digital tools.<br />

Our strapline – the future of Classics, expresses it: our mission is to develop innovative tools, deploy unique and<br />

disruptive concepts, with the objective to structure the today’s fragmented market. These include:<br />

www.Bakelit.eu, the first digital marketplace dedicated to classic car parts, and a community platform offering<br />

services for classic car enthusiasts<br />

Pro Classic is the first group of distributors specialized in classic car parts<br />

And more complementary activities are to be deployed over the next 3 years.<br />

Ultimately, our aim is to be the leading parts and services operator for the classic car community in Europe.<br />

Renovatio supports aftermarket suppliers through its web platform and face-to-face initiatives. We do this by:<br />

Offering ranges and products for all brands and all vehicles from the 1940s to the 1990s, both for ‘old-timers’<br />

and ‘young-timers’<br />

<strong>NEXUS</strong> IN! SIDE


Promoting aftermarket brands related to brand heritage, while still offering value and quality.<br />

Adopting a qualitative approach and using modern tools, we offer aftermarket suppliers the opportunity to<br />

participate in the structuring of a new, accessible market<br />

Where will you focus your activity?<br />

Our team has a twin focus on Bakelit.eu and the Pro Classic network development. www.Bakelit.eustarted in<br />

September 2018 and currently has 400 visitors per day. The new webstore opened a few days ago, with a great<br />

offering set up of 12,000 part numbers for all vehicles and brands from 1940 to 1999.<br />

We already have signed 16 contracts with aftermarket premium suppliers; therefore, gradually, the offer will<br />

reach 40,000 part numbers by the summer and 70,000 by the end of <strong>2019</strong>, which will result in the best catalogue<br />

of classic car parts for the French market: the One-Stop-Shop for specialized workshops, owner’s clubs and<br />

individuals.<br />

Then, from 2020, the road map will see additional digital tools and our geographic expansion.<br />

How do you foresee the collaboration of <strong>NEXUS</strong> and Renovatio?<br />

First of all, Nexus is the most innovative group of distributors, from ‘mindset’ to ‘fact’.<br />

We see the collaboration as a growth accelerator, one of the key fundamentals of our companies, and specifically<br />

for start-ups!<br />

We are glad to be connected to this community of entrepreneurs, leading aftermarket companies in the world.<br />

We are convinced this will create business opportunities and new horizons. This will go both<br />

ways, as the Renovatio team can share best practice, logistic cases, and new technologies, and open new perspectives<br />

for other <strong>NEXUS</strong> distributors regarding the classic car parts market. For instance, we know many<br />

distributors have slow moving items that could be offered to our targeted segment, so let’s do it!<br />

From a supplier perspective, Renovatio will push and promote <strong>NEXUS</strong> suppliers, through our website, during<br />

our events, and in parallel we will convince specialized distributors to select qualitative parts from premium<br />

brands, which is in fact the first requirement of workshops and individuals.<br />

In summary, we believe that all together we are stronger, not only to overcome challenges but also to lead our<br />

respective businesses.<br />

47<br />

What initiatives have you got planned for the next 12 months?<br />

Thanks to its network, Renovatio will organize, jointly with Nexus, the <strong>NEXUS</strong>Auto tour, which is a road trip in<br />

classic cars, that will take place from October 19th to 22nd, starting from Paris, the day after the Equip Auto<br />

show.<br />

During this ‘mobile’ business and social event, Nexus members will enjoy a great atmosphere, business and<br />

friendly, driving nice cars, and opening additional opportunities with a deep dive in the classic car parts market.<br />

Renovatio will also exhibit at Equip Auto and the Epoqu’auto classic car show in Lyon, then we will organize<br />

a new edition of the annual Renovatio event ‘Les Rencontres Renovatio’, gathering all our partners, suppliers<br />

and distributors to further explore the future of classics, discussing issues such as 3D printing for remanufacturing<br />

purposes, consolidation of express deliveries, quality requirements and heritage of the supplier brands.<br />

Renovatio keeps it quiet, but other disruptive solutions will also appear.<br />

Something about you<br />

I love cars, people interaction and evolutive projects. I spend almost all my career in the automotive aftermarket,<br />

still enjoying it every day… Why? Because in the aftermarket, nothing is fixed, everything is evolutive; the<br />

aftermarket never stops looking for new models, new solutions, it’s a very dynamic market, a combination of<br />

distribution, sales and marketing. Last but far from the least position, my rule of the 3 Fs: enjoy Family, Friends<br />

and have Fun!<br />

THE TIMING RANGE,<br />

A NTN-SNR GLOBAL OFFER!<br />

Major supplier for aftermarket automotive parts, NTN-SNR relies on its know-how and its OEM<br />

business, i.e. with VAG, SMART, Toyota or Hyundai, to carry out its development strategy for the<br />

timing range for engine.<br />

#PERFORMANCE<strong>INSIDE</strong> is our leitmotiv when developing product:<br />

• Optimal functioning of the engine for a result and a level of driving comfort<br />

identical to the original condition<br />

• The durability of products with higher quality and longer service life for greater<br />

customer satisfaction<br />

• The promise of the company with product ranges, the customer’s support<br />

and the expertise of an original equipment supplier<br />

MARKET TRENDS & FORECASTS<br />

Today the timing market is widely dominated by the belt driven system.<br />

However, the new technological constraints, the downsizing of the<br />

engines mean that chain-driven timing systems have been increasingly<br />

adopted in the past years during the design of new engines.<br />

According to the last forecast, in 2020, 30% to 40% of all cars will<br />

be equipped with a chain driven timing system. Today, 70 % of the<br />

services happen at the brand dealership. Following the growing of<br />

number of chain driven timing systems, the demand for repair kits for<br />

these components has grown.<br />

Even if the lifespan of a chain driven system is different from a belt one<br />

(longer), the system consists of important wear parts, whose quality<br />

remains paramount. Nevertheless, as for the belt driven system, if a<br />

breakdown happens, the cost of the repairs can be very expensive.<br />

This system needs regular visual controls or preventive maintenance on<br />

high mileage vehicles or when suspect noises arise.<br />

NTN-SNR BROADEN ITS TIMING OFFER<br />

To answer the European markets’ needs and requirements, NTN-SNR<br />

broaden its Timing offer by adding a chain kit range (all the elements<br />

included: chain, hydraulic tensioner, sprockets, guides) for Asian<br />

& European most popular brands as well as unitary hydraulic pulleys<br />

coming directly from our NTN factories.<br />

We have carefully picked the best products available on the markets to answer the customer needs. We will have 22 kits for the most common<br />

applications that need replacement. Those kits include:<br />

• Chains: Use of high grade steel to ensure high strength and reliability<br />

• Tensioners: High end hydraulic tensioners to provide precise tension ensuring smooth engine operation<br />

• Guides: Perfectly selected high resistance plastics to provide precise guidance of the timing chain<br />

• Gears: Specific heat treatment to high grade steel to improve tooth’s surface hardening<br />

We will also have 6 unitary pulleys for chains driven system for the Asian brands Subaru, Suzuki & Honda.<br />

Along this product range, we provide useful tools such as our catalogue, Tech ScaN application…<br />

To work with NTN-SNR ensures you a collaboration with a worldwide automotive manufacturer.<br />

Endurance, performance<br />

and reliability<br />

at the <strong>2019</strong> Dakar<br />

philips.com/xavier<br />

Xavier de Soultrait, rally motorbikerider<br />

sponsored by Philips automotive<br />

lighting products, talked to us<br />

about what it takes to compete<br />

in the legendary Dakar rally raid.<br />

Training hard for one of the<br />

toughest rally-raid in the world<br />

“We have the same core training<br />

program as all athletes – cycling,<br />

running, swimming, body-building –<br />

which we tailor to the physical<br />

demands placed on us. On the Dakar,<br />

the days are long and action-packed.<br />

We get up at 3am and then drive two<br />

hours to reach the start of the “Special”.<br />

The Special lasts 4 to 5 hours under<br />

a blazing sun. It’s very hot and very<br />

hard physically. It's hard mentally,<br />

too. The Dakar lasts 10 days, during<br />

which we cover between 500 and 600<br />

kilometers. That's why it's also one of<br />

the toughest races in the world. You<br />

have to keep pushing right to the end,<br />

because it’s often the last few days<br />

that decide the winners and losers.<br />

I also major on navigation when I’m<br />

competing, it's what I’m good at. I<br />

spend weeks practicing my navigation<br />

skills, it's like my own personal crusade.<br />

In Peru, it was sometimes easy to get<br />

lost in the great expanses of desert,<br />

or just taking the wrong valley could<br />

cost you valuable time. Navigation is<br />

quite complex. It’s great when there<br />

are tracks. But when there aren’t any,<br />

you have to follow a course shown in<br />

the road book, in hostile environments<br />

where you can’t ride in a straight<br />

line. That makes it very hard, finding<br />

the check points. And while you’re<br />

navigating, you still have to go fast!<br />

Brilliant mechanic and team<br />

Just crossing the finish line is a victory<br />

in itself. What really counts in this<br />

rally is the punishment bike and<br />

components can take without breaking.<br />

Changing an engine means a 15-minute<br />

penalty; two changes cost you an<br />

hour. So the technology must also<br />

be increasingly rugged, durable and<br />

effective. Three mechanics accompany<br />

the full team: an engineer for the bike’s<br />

electronic systems that control things<br />

like fuel mixture at different altitudes<br />

and temperatures, an engine manager,<br />

and a suspension specialist. Each rider<br />

has his own dedicated mechanic to<br />

handle daily maintenance. We used<br />

workshop lamps a lot. Firstly because<br />

we can arrive late at night after the<br />

stages. Secondly, the mechanics<br />

sometimes have to work all night on<br />

a bike. Philips professional workshop<br />

lamps are remarkable: they’re very<br />

powerful, easy to handle, especially<br />

the frontal ones we often use, and<br />

their white color temperature lets us<br />

see what we’re doing. Often we do<br />

what we call a “liaison” for some hours<br />

in the dark, which means setting out<br />

from where we’ve camped overnight<br />

to reach the start of the stage. In these<br />

situations, lighting is essential. The<br />

roads are often small with stray animals<br />

and multiple obstacles. Both you and<br />

the bike must reach the start line of the<br />

Special safe and sound. We equipped<br />

the large technical assistance trucks<br />

with Philips MasterDuty, 24V front<br />

headlight bulbs with high vibration<br />

resistance and improved lifetime. In<br />

South America, the trucks can cover<br />

a lot of kilometers, sometimes on the<br />

rally course itself.<br />

Winning a stage<br />

Winning a stage is fantastic.<br />

Strategically though, it’s not always be<br />

the best way to win the race. When you<br />

win a stage, you start the next one in<br />

first place, which means that you’re the<br />

one who has to blaze a trail and open<br />

up the route. Of course, that makes<br />

things easier for the competitors behind<br />

you, while you yourself can lose a lot<br />

of time in the ranking. What we call the<br />

“fesh-fesh” is really tough, too. It's a<br />

very fine dust into which the bike sinks.<br />

You don’t know what’s underneath, like<br />

stones to puncture your tire or make<br />

you fall. The stage I won, number 3, was<br />

my biggest moment so far on the Dakar.<br />

That was my first official stage win!”

Heavy Metal<br />

New Metal Water Pump Housing<br />

Plastics are taking over in cars. Around 20 percent of a vehicle<br />

is now made up of PE, PU and co. Understandable, as plastics<br />

are inexpensive and, above all, light. For that reason, they have<br />

long since been used not just in the passenger compartment,<br />

but also in the body or the engine compartment. There, though,<br />

they sometimes reach their limits. For example, as the housing<br />

of the water pump.<br />

Such housings are often made of polyurethane (PU). Over time,<br />

as a result of temperature fluctuations in the engine compartment,<br />

this material becomes brittle and cracks. Changing the<br />

water pump is then often the final straw which causes it to break<br />

completely. In the CT 1143WP2 and CT 1143WP3 timing belt kits<br />

+ water pump, therefore, we have included a water pump that,<br />

unlike the OE solution, has a metal housing.<br />

dimensions are exactly the same. That means the fitter can install<br />

the housing without further modifications – and the workshop<br />

can offer its customers a durably reliable solution in excellent<br />

quality. In addition to the power transmission belt and the water<br />

pump, the kit also contains the thermostat and the coolant sensor.<br />

Consequently, the fitter has all the necessary components quickly<br />

to hand. “We have therefore responded to the requirements of the<br />

aftermarket and are offering our customers an optimized repair<br />

solution including the necessary sensor system,” says product<br />

manager Adrian Rothschild.<br />

Workshops can, as always, rely unreservedly on the quality: As<br />

with all components for the automotive aftermarket, Continental<br />

offers registered workshops a 5-year guarantee on this product.<br />

This part is made of lightweight diecast aluminum and is significantly<br />

tougher and more durable than the OE component. The


Top quality for all kinds of weather<br />

As well as wiper motors and washer fluid<br />

pumps, Continental is now also offering<br />

wiper blades for the spare parts market.<br />

Continental AQUACTRL wiper blades consist of a single continuous<br />

metal spine with a bonded rubber strip which makes them<br />

especially rugged and durable. In addition, a special coating reduces<br />

noise. The wiper blades deliver superb wiping performance<br />

in all kinds of weather. Their special design optimally distributes<br />

pressure across wipers of any length and on any windshield. A<br />

patented spoiler presses the blades against the windshield even<br />

at high speeds and with strong wind resistance.<br />

AQUACTRL wiper blades are now on the market and fit over<br />

90 percent of all cars in Europe.* The product range is compact,<br />

minimizing the logistics for dealers and garages: it includes 21 different<br />

front and rear blades plus 46 sets with blades for the driver<br />

and passenger side. The advantage of the sets is that they have<br />

pre-installed adapters, allowing customers to attach the blades<br />

directly using the plug-and-play principle. Another advantage is<br />

that customers who still have metal-framed blades can easily use<br />

the adapter to upgrade to modern flat-blade technology.<br />

In tests together with the German Technical Inspection Authority<br />

TÜV Nord according to numerous criteria in the SAE J 903 standard,<br />

the blades performed better than competing products and<br />

clearly demonstrated their effectiveness. In the dynamic wiping<br />

quality test they had even perfect wiping results at very high<br />

speeds.<br />

*over 90 percent coverage in Europe for vehicle models from 2005-20<strong>17</strong>


OE expertise in<br />

the aftermarket.<br />

As a leading OE provider of advanced<br />

propulsion solutions, we know about cars.<br />

We know how they work. And we know how to<br />

fix them. We bring this same expertise to the<br />

aftermarket with a range of OE specification<br />

end-to-end solutions.<br />

Our aftermarket technologies cover<br />

hybrid, electric, gasoline or diesel vehicles.<br />

We reimagine the drive of tomorrow so that<br />

vehicles start – go – stop – just like the day<br />

they drove off the assembly line.<br />

products, lambda sensors and engine management systems, DENSO<br />

has an established profile in the aftermarket. The company’s<br />

aftermarket programmes are carefully selected by specialist product<br />

management teams to deliver OE-quality performance, quality and<br />

choice. This is nowhere more apparent than in the new service<br />

offering recently launched by DENSO to help the aftermarket increase<br />

workshop efficiency and customer transparency.<br />

Few aftermarket suppliers are as future-facing as DENSO.<br />

The company pioneered the first electric compressor for hybrid<br />

cars and is continuing to invest in research and development<br />

around electric and hybrid vehicles. This knowledge is driving<br />

new innovations across the aftermarket, backed by digital solutions<br />

that bring technicians even closer to DENSO’s vehicle experts.<br />

Behind all of this sits DENSO’s core value – to provide quality<br />

first, in everything it does.<br />

Reduce downtime<br />

with SKF Complete Hubs and Truck Matched Units<br />

SKF has been a trusted OE supplier to the major truck and trailer<br />

manufacturers in the world for a long time. Now we offer complete<br />

hubs and truck matched units to help commercial vehicles<br />

get back on the road faster.<br />

REDUCING<br />

TOTAL COST<br />

OF<br />

OWNERSHIP<br />

SKF complete hubs<br />

Today, most distributors have complete hubs in their assortment. They can source<br />

these from a range of original equipment suppliers such as Mercedes, BPW or SAF.<br />

Changing the complete hub in one piece is easier than dismounting the hub to change<br />

the bearings, which then need to be pressed into the hub again before re-mounting it<br />

to the wheel. This procedure takes a long time, requires specific workshop tools and<br />

means longer down-time for the truck/trailer.<br />

SKF now offers high-quality assemblies that are a perfect fit with original parts.<br />

Bearings, hubs, accessories and fastening parts all match OE specifications and requirements.<br />

The pre-mounted assembly of bearings and hub also enables quick<br />

one-piece exchange procedures, ensuring easier and faster replacement, greatly<br />

reducing the risk of installation errors down the road.<br />

Some of the benefis of the SKF complete hubs are:<br />

• Easier and faster replacement: pre-mounted assembly of bearings and hub for quick one-piece exchange procedures<br />

• Highest quality and perfect fit with OE: bearings, hubs, accessories and fastening parts all match OE specifications and<br />

requirements<br />

• Reliable logistics: fast delivery and sturdy packaging that can handle tough warehouse conditions and protect the parts<br />

from impacts and loads<br />

SKF aftermarket truck matched units<br />

In view of ever tougher competition in the commercial haulage sector, it is important<br />

to be able to depend on maximum quality and reliable operation. After all, vehicles<br />

only achieve financial profit when they are in operation in other words, when they are<br />

on the road.<br />

The SKF aftermarket truck matched unit (TMU) has been especially developed by SKF<br />

to meet the tough demands of today’s commercial vehicles and to match their life<br />

cycle.<br />

Some of the features of the TMU are:<br />

• Tailor-made compact bearing system design<br />

• Ready to mount<br />

• Greased and sealed<br />

• Pre-adjusted axial bearing clearance and optimized pre-load<br />

• Higher system stiffness compared to separated tapered roller bearing solutions<br />

Reducing your total cost of ownership:<br />

• Less risk of damaging the bearing and the seals<br />

• Less risk of polluting the grease during assembly<br />

• Easier and faster installation procedure and less risk of installation errors<br />

• Lower frequency of returns or warranty claims.<br />

• Technical support and mounting instructions available<br />

Electric Mobility & Innovation : Total Launches a Pioneering Line<br />

of Fluids for Electric and Hybrid Vehicles<br />

Total is consolidating its position as key player in electric mobility by launching today an<br />

innovative line of fluids for electric and hybrid vehicles. Produced thanks to important efforts<br />

of the Group’s R&D teams, these products have been specially developed to meet the<br />

cooling and lubrication needs of the various components of these new types of engines and<br />

to ensure that they remain in peak condition throughout their lifetime.<br />

Two new product lines are now available to automakers: Total Quartz EV Fluid, for light<br />

vehicles, and Total Rubia EV Fluid, for industrial & utility vehicles and electric buses.<br />

Marketed by Total Lubricants, these products join the other electric mobility solutions Total<br />

offers through a variety of concrete applications for charging, storage, and fleet<br />

management.<br />

"Through extensive research efforts, we are proud to have developed products that align<br />

with the new needs of electric mobility," explains Philippe Charleux, Senior Vice President<br />

Lubricants and Specialities at Total. "Integrated before the vehicles leave the factories,<br />

these high-performance fluids will accompany them throughout their service lives,<br />

benefitting all our customers: parts manufacturers, automakers and end users. This project<br />

illustrates our technical excellence and our ability to anticipate and innovate, which we<br />

leverage for a sustainable and performing mobility."<br />

Developed in Response to New Technical Requirements<br />

These lines were developed to provide a better solution for the specific issues linked to<br />

engines and transmissions with high rotation speeds, and the need to control heat<br />

exchange in electric batteries.<br />

Total researchers focused their research and development efforts for these fluids on four<br />

main characteristics, required by any electric or hybrid application:<br />

- dielectric properties, essential to any usage with electric current<br />

- compatibility with new electrification components, helping to prevent the<br />

corrosion of copper coils in electric engines and protect their polymer coatings<br />

- a solution for the temperature constraints specific to electric models: rapid<br />

calorific evacuation during major accelerations or fast charges, thermal<br />

management for batteries, etc.<br />

- conventional lubrication services for transmissions to protect their mechanical<br />

components, maintain optimal friction properties and ensure vehicles efficiency over<br />

time


Valeo answers customer needs with a stronger<br />

Transmission Systems offer<br />

The market and automakers requirements are growing more stringent with more complex technologies<br />

to address. For Valeo, whatever the technology, its capacity to master innovation is there to answer<br />

customer’s needs and support operators.<br />

With the awarded Valeo VBLADETM technology and the TH Damper, the<br />

transmissions systems specialist demonstrates its capacity to answer<br />

The highest cost when managing a fleet is fuel. Consumption is obviously linked<br />

to the petrol prices and its fluctuations, but also to the driver and his ability to<br />

“Ecodrive”. Valeo develops smart technologies helping fleet managers and drivers<br />

tackle this major expense. For instance the EURO 6 compliant TH Damper Clutch<br />

Technology is able to increase dampening performance by 40%, while transmitting<br />

engine torque up to 3500 Nm. With a perfectly smooth torque transmission,<br />

this dampening performance allows an engine speed reduction by up to 200 RPM<br />

(rotation per minute), resulting in up to 2%* fuel savings (650 € to 750 € per year<br />

per vehicle).<br />

ZF Aftermarket’s<br />

electric vision.<br />

The automotive world is changing. By the year 2030, it is estimated<br />

that around one third of all automobiles produced worldwide will be<br />

purely electric or hybrid electric-powered. Driving this will be many<br />

things, including the kind of environmentally-minded policies to<br />

encourage drivers, fleets and municipalities alike to purchase cleanrunning<br />

cars (currently, for example, there are low emission zones in<br />

place in 200 cities across Europe).<br />

At the forefront of innovation and positive change for<br />

decades, the ZF Group will play their part in this new<br />

motoring revolution, with Electric Blue: a pioneering new<br />

range of products designed specifically for electric vehicles.<br />

Launched at Automechanika, Frankfurt in 2018, TRW Electric<br />

Blue perfectly encapsulates ZF Aftermarket’s capacity<br />

for true innovation, ground-breaking thinking and classleading<br />

quality. Whilst for some, the growing shift away<br />

from conventional vehicles towards electric models might<br />

be a cause for concern, to ZF Aftermarket it represents an<br />

opportunity: for cleaner, ‘greener’, truly environmentallyfriendly<br />

alternatives, which will benefit our children and their<br />

children after them.<br />

Actively shaping the ‘Next Generation Aftermarket’, ZF<br />

Aftermarket has already developed essential training<br />

programmes to enable technicians the world over to handle<br />

High Voltage Systems and fit electric car parts with safety,<br />

confidence and expertise. Now, with TRW Electric Blue, the<br />

company takes its commitment to an electric-powered future<br />

to a whole new level.<br />

“Electric vehicles are here to stay,” says Helmut Ernst, Head<br />

of ZF Aftermarket. “Distributors and workshops who adapt<br />

to accommodate this change will be long-term leaders<br />

destined for success. Our High Voltage training sessions<br />

allow customers and partners to acquire the key skills and<br />

qualifications they need to master the complexities of future<br />

technology at an early stage. We are confident that TRW<br />

Electric Blue will further emphasize our commitment to Next<br />

Generation technology, with great benefits for drivers and the<br />

environment alike.”<br />

A new generation.<br />

Already covering 97 percent of the European electric car<br />

parc, the new generation of TRW Electric Blue brake pads<br />

significantly reduce interior noise, as well as the development<br />

of fine dust during braking. But ZF Aftermarket isn’t stopping<br />

there; the program continues to evolve and improve, with<br />

formulations for other hybrid vehicles currently in the testing<br />

process, with further roll outs in the months to come.<br />

When it comes to the future of automotive, ZF Aftermarket’s<br />

vision really is electric.<br />

360° MAHLE<br />

ONE FOR ALL<br />

360° MAHLE gives you 100% workshop performance—<br />

whether things are humming or buzzing under the hood.<br />

Currently, the biggest challenge for vehicle workshops is hybrid drives, although we’re seeing a slow shift toward electric<br />

vehicles in Germany. This trend is only going to increase, which means that over the next few decades, day-to-day workshop<br />

tasks will involve several types of drive. That’s because vehicles with combustion engines will still be on our roads for<br />

years to come and continue to give your workshop plenty to do.<br />

Whether they’re electric or hybrid or have a combustion engine, all cars have one thing in common: they have all sorts<br />

of parts that need to be serviced, replaced, and repaired, or that can be tuned. And this is exactly where MAHLE 360°<br />

comes in!<br />

Take a look under the hood: MAHLE Aftermarket stocks products for you in a number of areas—filters, engine parts,<br />

starter motors & alternators, thermal management for the cabin and powertrain, andturbochargers. We’re also wellequipped<br />

when it comes to electric vehicles. Our range includes electric motors, thermal management products, electric<br />

drives, power electronics, and cabin air filters. With our CLASSIC LINE, we also have a first-class range of spare partsfor<br />

modern classic and vintage cars. MAHLE Service Solutions also offers practical workshop equipment and services<br />

in the areas of maintenance, servicing, and diagnostics.<br />
