Frankfurt/Main. Whether filters, crankcase ventilation or transmission oil pans - the same applies to the independent aftermarket: OE quality is always inside at Hengst. With its comprehensive OE expertise, Hengst Filtration is now expanding its portfolio to include further product groups for workshops and wholesalers. The company will be presenting these under the motto "OE INSIDE" from September 10 to 14 at Automechanika in Frankfurt am Main in Hall 4.0, Stand A71. "As an OE supplier, we have the decisive insights and also focus on quality, sustainability and cost-effectiveness in the aftermarket. We understand the needs and have the corresponding know-how for the required technologies and services. This makes us unique in the market", explains Oliver Nabrotzky, Group Vice President Aftermarket Sales at Hengst.

Green filter "Blue.balance" saves 30 percent CO₂

The filter color says it all: With the first green oil filter insert "Blue.balance", Hengst shows that the company mission "purifying our planet" is not just an empty phrase. As the raw materials used so far account for 76 percent of the CO₂ footprint Hengst is now using new media and end discs. In its own TechCenter, the developers have modified the filter medium and developed a recyclate for the end caps. In an analysis, the certification company ClimatePartner confirms that the use of oil filters saves around 30 percent of CO₂ emissions compared to conventional filters, from material procurement to disposal. This CO₂ reduction over the average service life of a vehicle (10 years) corresponds to around 6,100 cell phone charges.

In the independent aftermarket: Crankcase ventilation from Hengst

Even supposedly long-life components can wear out due to the increasingly long service life of vehicles. It is therefore important for garages and wholesalers to be prepared for their repair or replacement. And that is why Hengst Filtration is now bringing its exceptional OE expertise in the manufacture of Crankcase Ventilation to the independent aftermarket.

In OE quality: Hengst oil filter modules for passenger cars

Everything for the oil circuit from a single source - this economical solution is now also available on the independent aftermarket in the usual Hengst quality. Oil filter modules from Hengst allow the complete system to be replaced quickly and easily, saving the often labor-intensive replacement of small parts. Assembly material, sensors and filter insert are included in the scope of delivery. Pre-assembled service seals make installation easier.

In the package: Transmission oil pans and transmission oil change kits for automatic and dual-clutch transmissions

Transmission oil pans have been part of the Hengst portfolio in the OE sector for years. From now on, workshops and wholesalers will also benefit from these reliable components - in OE quality, of course. And now also from a single source for efficient and cost-effective maintenance. Hengst now supplies transmission oil change kits with transmission oil filter, transmission oil pan, premium oil and the appropriate gaskets and screws as a complete package.
