Mahle Lifecycle and Mobility, the spare parts and service business unit of the Mahle Group, is expanding its aftermarket offering with high-voltage charging technologies. The group accordingly responds, according to its own statements, to globally rising registration numbers and the accompanying increase in maintenance and repair orders for battery electric vehicles and plug-in hybrids in automotive workshops.

"By proactively and consistently expanding our product offering for electric vehicles and plug-in hybrids, we are already positioning ourselves with our workshop partners in

this growing market segment," said Dr. Armin Messerer, Head of Product Management and Purchasing at Mahle Lifecycle and Mobility.

Thus, workshops and end customers benefited from Mahle's position in original equipment for drive, charging, and thermal management systems, as the group's expertise also directly flows into the spare parts and service business.

From OE manufacturing to independent workshops

From October 2025 the supplier will deliver input filters to the international spare parts market, with On-Board Chargers (OBC) also available by the

end of the year. The components will initially be available for selected models from Renault, Peugeot, Citroën, DS and Opel. Further power electronics and high-voltage components are expected to follow during the coming year.

The products come from OE manufacturing and are aimed at independent workshops that are increasingly confronted with repair and maintenance requests for electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles. Input filters protect battery, charging and power electronics against overvoltage and electromagnetic interference. On-board chargers convert mains electricity (AC) into

direct current (DC), which is stored in the high-voltage battery. Both components are subject to mechanical and thermal wear and therefore gain importance in the aftermarket.

IAA Mobility: Mahle presents the complete e-mobility portfolio

At IAA Mobility 2025 (9–14 September, Munich) Mahle will present its new products in Hall A1 as well as on the test site. In addition to the high-voltage components, the company will showcase the diagnostic system "TechPRO 2" with AI function as well as the battery diagnostic
