All aftermarket products under the Schaeffler brand
At Automechanika Frankfurt, Schaeffler Vehicle Lifetime Solutions is introducing a revamped aftermarket portfolio that combines products, technical services, and training under a single Schaeffler brand. The goal of this integration is to simplify the process for repair shops and distributors and speed up repair work.
The company is building the portfolio on three principles: one brand, one product portfolio, and a unified service experience. With a unified global brand, Schaeffler aims to reduce the number of separate service channels and simplify the use of its product portfolio.
The portfolio covers five system areas
The integrated portfolio covers internal combustion engine, hybrid, and electric vehicles. It is divided into five system areas: powertrain, engine, chassis and body, thermal management, and electric mobility.
The integration of Vitesco technologies into Schaeffler expands the offering, particularly in electronics, software, and control systems. The product portfolio includes solutions for air intake, exhaust aftertreatment, fuel delivery, and engine control. Products include injectors, high-pressure pumps, and various sensors and actuators.
The repair product range for electric vehicles is being expanded to include electric axles, power electronics converters, and battery management systems. The goal is to enable repair shops to prepare for the growth of the electric vehicle repair market while the vehicle fleet is still relatively new.
A smaller carbon footprint for LuK products
At the exhibition, Schaeffler is also showcasing the LuK RepSet 2CT, LuK RepSet DMF, and LuK RepSet 2CT DMF repair solutions, which are part of its certified, low-emission product portfolio. According to the company, product-specific CO2e emissions have been reduced by up to 31 percent on a weighted average basis without compromising performance or quality.
The REPXPERT service combines product information, repair instructions, specialty tools, and training. With this service package, Schaeffler aims to achieve shorter repair times, a higher first-time repair success rate, and increased workshop productivity.
Schaeffler Vehicle Lifetime Solutions will be exhibiting at Automechanika Frankfurt from September 8–12, 2026, on Level 0 of the Forum building, Booth A01.
Schaeffler Expands Its INA Product Line for Heavy-Duty Vehicles with Multi-groove Belts
Schaeffler Vehicle Lifetime Solutions offers multi-ribbed belts under the INA brand for auxiliary drives in truck and bus engines. The INA FEAD belts, designated as OE quality, complement the pulleys and tensioners already available in the product range.
The new belts are available for common commercial vehicle models from Mercedes-Benz, MAN, DAF, Volvo, Scania, Iveco, and Renault. According to Schaeffler, the products have been developed to meet the increased mechanical loads, high torques, and continuous operation of today’s commercial vehicle engines.
EPDM rubber withstands heat and wear
The multi-groove design, featuring longitudinal grooves in the belts, enables efficient power transmission even under high loads. The reinforcement structure is made of high-strength polyester, which reduces elongation and helps maintain consistent belt tension throughout its service life.
Certified EPDM rubber is used as the belt material. This material selection is designed to ensure resistance to wear, heat, and environmental conditions, as well as a long service life under the demanding operating conditions of heavy-duty equipment.
Technical Support for Repair Shops and Fleet Operators
Schaeffler complements its product range with installation instructions and technical information intended for repair shops and fleet operators. The support materials also cover the proper handling and storage of belts, as well as how to identify wear.
The goal is to extend the service life of the belts, detect damage early, and reduce unplanned downtime for heavy-duty vehicles.
