Schaeffler introduces motorsports partnership

To showcase its future-oriented products and repair solutions for combustion engines and hybrid vehicles, as well as portfolio of high-tech e-mobility products, Schaeffler Automotive Aftermarket is participating in the 2022 Automotive Aftermarket Products Expo (AAPEX). The event, held Nov. 1 to 3 in Las Vegas, is the premier event for the more than $1.6 trillion global automotive aftermarket industry.

At the show, Schaeffler will demonstrate how it is preparing the independent aftermarket for tomorrow’s technologies under its theme “putting the power of tomorrow in your hands.”

Schaeffler will highlight its holistic aftermarket portfolio for customers at every stage of the e-mobility journey. From leading e-mobility solutions for internal combustion engines (ICE) to innovative products for electric vehicles (EVs) and hybrids to future ready products from the OE sector, Schaeffler’s solutions are designed to be innovative, technology-driven and future-focused.

Chassis Portfolio Highlights:

Schaeffler’s Gen2 and Gen3 bearings offer innovative designs to improve performance, while easing installation and integrating more functional aspects like ABS and harnesses.

E-mobility platforms require more robust designs to handle the additional vehicle weight for hybrids and EVs, while reducing rolling resistance and delivering on modularity. Schaeffler’s chassis mechatronics have fully integrated steering, bearing assemblies, and e-motor components to improve performance and add even more modularity.

Engine Portfolio Highlights:

Products and technologies that support Schaeffler’s vision of being the OE premium partner to customers transitioning from traditional ICEs to fully electric propulsion systems.

The Schaeffler brand INA’s extensive product portfolio that promotes the right repair solution for the four engine pillars: timing drive; front end auxiliary drive; valve train; and cooling system.

Transmission Portfolio Highlights:

Products and technologies that support the future phase of BEV’s 4in1 module, that is high in complexity and combines multiple functions into a single assembly.

Schaeffler’s next generation of e-axle pulls the isolated transmission functions into innovative space saving designs that combine the transmission with the electric motor, the power electronics and the thermal management system. This full integration of components saves space while allowing for easy installation, maintenance, and repair of future battery electric vehicle platforms.
