MAHLE showcases collision repair expertise at Kinetic

MAHLE at Kinetic in Telford
  • Service solutions offering and ADAS equipment to be demonstrated

  • Thermal management systems also available at the show

MAHLE Aftermarket UK has showcased its service solutions offering, specialist Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) calibration equipment and thermal management systems at Kinetic 2023, held at Telford International Centre on 22nd – 23rd March.

Visitors were able to hear more about MAHLE Service Solutions, a MAHLE Aftermarket division, specialising in developing, manufacturing, and distributing automotive services, tools, and maintenance equipment, including vehicle diagnostics, AC service, fluid exchange, hydraulic and pneumatic lift equipment, ozone generation, and nitrogen tire inflation systems.

There was also keen interest around MAHLE’s revolutionary digital solutions now entering the market, with a team of specialists on hand to discuss its MAHLE Tech PRO® Digital ADAS for the calibration of driver assistance systems, as well as the the latest generation of the ACX A/C service unit series and the ATX transmission oil service unit series.

Visitors learnt how the ongoing development of the Digital ADAS 2.0 shortens the calibration time even further and enables calibration in a few minutes.

Thanks to special laser distance gauges, which are connected directly to the diagnostic tool, the TechPRO® Digital ADAS 2.0 can record all parameters of the vehicle alignment directly so that the calibration can be performed without manual input.

The system, which ensures universal coverage, can also be constantly updated and integrated with those vehicles that will progressively adopt one or several ADAS systems.

As a tier one supplier, MAHLE’s OE thermal management product offering provides the ideal solution for the collision repair market, and the company was able to demonstrate its wide range of systems, including its range of blower motors, condensers, evaporators, compressors and more.

For bodyshop and collision repair specialists, the maintenance of thermal management systems in hybrid and electric vehicles will become what used to be the regular oil change. That is why MAHLE Aftermarket is offering not only a growing range of components but also accompanying service equipment, training, and digital information solutions. The company is thus preparing the sector for the future and helping them with the switch to repairing alternative drive systems.

Jason Smith, MAHLE Aftermarket’s UK sales and marketing manager, said: “This was the first time that we exhibited at this show and we were pleased to see high attendance numbers of quality visitors. As vehicles become more advanced, with the latest technology requiring specialist solutions from trained experts, it’s clear that this is a growing market and it was great to meet with the experts face to face and showcase MAHLE’s high quality product offering.”
