Shaftec Range Extension Hits the Marque

Shaftec will introduce a further 38 caliper references and four new driveshafts to its ever-growing portfolio in August.  In line with the Drive. Steer. Stop expert’s market philosophy, these new-to-range parts are a mixed bag of components to fit both the latest, most up-to-date models, along with many which accommodate older vehicles. And with the UK vehicle parc now averaging 10 years, that’s a big chunk of the aftermarket. 

The four new driveshafts cater for four-wheel drive (FWD) diesel vehicles such as the popular Citroen Jumpy from 2016 onwards. Examples of new-to-range calipers include Nissan Qashqai II 2013 onwards, Range Rover Sport, 2016 onwards, and VW Transporter T6, from 2015 onwards.

“At Shaftec we put EVERY customer at the very heart of our business and are proud of the depth and range of premium product we supply,” explains Adrian Kitchen, Shaftec’s marketing manager. “With our remanufactured products produced in-house to matching OE quality standards at our dedicated UK facility - we have total control over the materials and processes. This also means that for our UK customers, there are no borders to cross or import and export issues; simplifying the supply chain and meaning we can offer constant availability even under challenging conditions.”
