Schaeffler Vehicle Lifetime Solutions launched

1 November 2024  

Schaeffler Automotive Aftermarket today officially rebranded as Schaeffler Vehicle Lifetime Solutions.

The name change follows the full integration of Vitesco Technologies Group into Schaeffler. The merger was finalised on October 1.

Schaeffler said the new name had been chosen to highlight the wider offering the company will provide to the aftermarket thanks to the merger, as well as its ongoing commitment to technological innovation.

Schaeffler’s INA, LuK and FAG product brands will not be directly affected by the name change, while Schaeffler’s REPXPERT service offering will continue to grow and evolve.

‘Forward-looking’

Matt Selby, sales and marketing director at Schaeffler Vehicle Lifetime Solutions UK, said: “Our new name positions the company as a complete solutions provider rather than just a parts supplier.

“Our new identity will also highlight our uniquely forward-looking approach in the increasingly crowded aftermarket. By focusing on the vehicle life cycle holistically, Schaeffler can differentiate itself through innovation, offering advanced services such as predictive maintenance and digital solutions, as well as our usual array of high-tech precision kits and components.”

Garages and technicians will continue to receive the backing they have come to expect from the company.

Selby added: “We will support Vitesco through sales of their OEM NOx sensor range into the UK and Irish aftermarket, as well as working with them on other, wider ranging future mobility projects as part of our new status as a complete solutions provider.”
