Mahle to showcase complete EV solution for workshops at Automechanika 2022

MAHLE Aftermarket is to make a strong presentation at this year’s Automechanika in Frankfurt (September 13-17) with a wide range of products.

The focus of MAHLE’s presence at the trade fair for industry, workshops, and business is the new MAHLE BatteryPRO diagnostics and service solutions for electric vehicles: E-Scan, E-Health and E-Care. In addition, MAHLE is presenting workshop equipment for the calibration of driver assistance systems as well as air conditioning and transmission oil servicing solutions, through which the Stuttgart technology group specifically supports independent workshops with its replacement and service parts.

The trade fair appearance is rounded out by a broad portfolio of engine parts and filters for conventional and alternative drives. The Automechanika takes place from 13–17 September 2022. MAHLE Aftermarket will be in Hall 9 at Booths C01/C06/C16 and in the outdoor area at F11/E 41.

“Our presence at the Automechanika shows impressively how much the pace of our innovation has accelerated,” said Olaf Henning, member of the MAHLE Management Committee and director of the Aftermarket business unit. “With our solutions, we came in far ahead of the global competition, especially in the area of battery diagnostics.”

By the end of the year, the E-Scan function will be expanded by the E-Health and E-Care equipment. E-Health performs diagnostics on vehicle batteries via the charging plug and evaluates the measured data in the cloud. In this way, the state of a battery can be classified in relation to all other recorded batteries of the same model in the fleet. In addition, E-Health generates a forecast of the remaining expected life of a vehicle.

E-Care is a service unit for performing maintenance on the cooling circuits of vehicle batteries. In this context, vehicle and coolant manufacturers set certain replacement intervals for the coolants used.

TechPro Digital ADAS enables calibration of the driver assistance systems in the shortest possible time.

Other highlights of the trade fair appearance are the MAHLE Tech PRO Digital ADAS for the calibration of driver assistance systems and the latest generation of the ACX A/C service unit series and the ATX transmission oil service unit series. 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. Even the vertical positioning of the monitor takes place automatically. The system simultaneously allows the vehicle type to be gathered automatically through the license plate number, saving the operator the trouble of selecting the vehicle manually.

In addition, MAHLE is presenting its broad portfolio of filters and engine components at Automechanika. MAHLE Aftermarket already covers almost 100 percent of all hybrids and around 70 percent of all battery-electric vehicles across Europe with its filter solutions. At the same time, the company is expanding its electronics business unit to future-proof workshops in the face of changing mobility.
