To be the first to achieve new goals, you need adequate power reserves. For this reason, we have expanded our technological base in a targeted way so that we can respond flexibly to growing challenges. This means that we can now think beyond the existing system boundaries.

We are systematically expanding our competence in our core business, the combustion engine and engine peripherals. This means that our customers look to us as a global development partner for new, integrated solutions. Networked, inter-departmental knowledge management ensures that our product and process know-how is transferred to every region and every location where MAHLE is represented.

MAHLE now has R&D centers in Stuttgart, Northampton, Detroit (Farmington Hills and Novi), São Paulo, Tokyo and, very soon, in Shanghai. Approximately 2,000 development engineers and technicians worldwide are involved in fundamental research and ongoing development of the combustion engine. They work specifically on forward-looking new concepts, products and systems, which eventually go into mass production at customer sites as ecologically and economically sound solutions.

Making good things better, setting standards

If you rest on your laurels, it is impossible to make progress. At MAHLE, we make optimizations down to the last detail, ensure consistent quality worldwide and promote innovations at a fast rate. With the right know-how in our heads. With fuel in our blood. With passion for engines in our hearts. And with modern tools in our hands, so that every day we can achieve technological excellence for our customers.

Impressive proof of our technological leadership can be seen, for example, in the successes achieved in international motorsport: vehicles with MAHLE engine components hit the top spots time and again – in Formula 1, in the 24 Hours of Le Mans, in the Rally World Championships, in touring cars, motorbikes and truck racing. And it is often the leading-edge technology used in today’s motorsport products that ends up in tomorrow’s series-produced automobiles.

With our comprehensive systems competence, we contribute to making engines even more efficient: optimized for more performance, longer service life, and reduced fuel consumption and emissions. Each time the emissions limits are tightened, we will offer new solutions and further expand our position as technological leaders. This is the driving force for international growth.
