Mahle and Midtronics have announced to jointly develop service equipment for battery electric vehicles. Mahle will contribute its knowledge and experience in refrigerant service, ADAS calibration, BatteryPRO solutions and vehicle diagnostics, while Midtronics will contribute its leadership position and technology in both low and high-voltage battery monitoring, inspection, diagnostics, and service.
Together, the two companies can offer workshops a full range of services for electric vehicle batteries—the future business of independent workshops, the release added.
A press release from Mahle noted that the move will empower workshops with safe, easy-to-use and effective service for the important Li-ion battery: from battery diagnostics to maintenance, regardless of brand and over the entire life cycle of the batteries and vehicles.
Georges Mourad, Director, Global Service Solutions, Mahle, noted that in the age of electromobility, battery service gets a whole new meaning for independent workshops. “With our partnership with Midtronics, we are therefore opening up a new chapter for a one-stop battery service,” he added.
Will Sampson, President, Midtronics, said, “This collaboration brings two leaders together to make it faster and easier for the aftermarket to transition to electric vehicle service.”
Earlier in April 2023, Mahle introduced Mahle 2030+ strategy in which the supplier focuses on electrification, thermal management, and components for high-efficiency green internal combustion engines.
The company believes that the sales potential with electric cars is thrice that of internal combustion engines. The company focuses mainly on electric drives and smart charging within its electrification strategy's framework.
