Every issue of the MAHLE Aftermarket news presents a new challenge to our editorial team. After all, we want to provide you with quality information and entertainment. And this means to set priorities, select topics, research, discuss, consult experts and relevant departments, speak with the people in charge … and also for us to learn about new things all the time. After the topic “Sales potential commercial vehicle” was chosen as the central theme along with the recent Automechanika, we have put together plenty worth knowing and hopefully also interesting. Our engine components experts have, for instance, explained to us the design of FERROTHERM^® pistons, which are mainly used in commercial vehicles. And our filter experts took a close look at an unusual commercial fuel filter for us. In the field of motorsport, we introduce a special kind of commercial vehicle: the JCB DIESELMAX, which has broken a fascinating world record using MAHLE components. Also in the area of vehicle innovations, in the focus section, you find another impressive vehicle. We have enriched these main topics with additional information from the market and our new brands – and we think that we have found a good and varied mix.

We hope you will enjoy reading our magazine!
