International. MAHLE is continuously expanding its portfolio of products and services for the diagnostics and maintenance of electric vehicles, which are included in its BatteryPRO product line.
Electrification, digitalization and sustainability are the strategic fields of action with which MAHLE Aftermarket wants to continue to grow and make a significant contribution to the MAHLE Group's 2030+ strategy. The business segment remained an important pillar of the Group in 2023, with a new sales record of almost €1.3 billion (approximately $1.43 billion).
"The future clearly belongs to electric mobility, both on the road and in the workshop. Nonetheless, combustion engines will continue to play an important role in many parts of the world for some time to come. By using renewable fuels, these engines can have a rapid and sustainable impact on climate protection," said Philipp Grosse Kleimann, Member of the MAHLE Management Board and Head of the Aftermarket Business Unit, at a recent press conference.
With the BatteryPRO product line and its five product groups E-SAFETY, E-SCAN, E-HEALTH, E-CARE and E-CHARGE, MAHLE Aftermarket already offers independent workshops a complete range of solutions for electric vehicles.
"Battery maintenance is becoming more and more important. The new products developed by BatteryPRO are the beginning of a new generation of diagnostic and service solutions for electric vehicles, covering the entire life cycle from diagnostics to maintenance," says Georges Mourad, Head of Global Service Solutions at MAHLE Aftermarket.
For example, the products monitor the safety of high-voltage and 12-volt batteries, display error codes, help empty and refill the battery's cooling circuit, and identify potential leaks. For MAHLE, the most important part of this process was the development of devices that were easy and effective to use.
With the recent addition of the E-HEALTH Charge product, every workshop will be able to check the "health status" and remaining performance level of high-voltage EV batteries. This is particularly important information when determining the purchase price of used electric vehicles.
"With E-HEALTH Charge, buyers can quickly and easily determine the performance of batteries installed in used electric vehicles during, for example, a test drive in a workshop. This reduces the risk of them leaving the dealership with a car in poor condition," adds Georges Mourad. The device has been on the market since April 2024.
