Automechanika 2016: For Everyone Who Demands a Bit More

The shared trade fair presentation of the four LuK, INA, FAG and Ruville brands is the result of the in 2014 implemented bundling of the sales activities at Schaeffler Automotive Aftermarket. This was undertaken in order to strengthen the company on the global spare parts market and to work towards comprehensive market penetration. Whether it's passenger cars, light commercial vehicles, heavy commercial vehicles, we will focus the spotlight on the latest products and services for three exciting days from 9:45 am to 7:00 pm. And not only that, visitors will get a host of helpful mounting and repair tips, even for the trickiest of installation jobs.

At the 2016 Automechanika, the product worlds of LuK, INA, FAG and Ruville brands will prove themselves once again through technical excellence, innovative power and outstanding quality - in every segment. For instance, Schaeffler Automotive Aftermarket will present the INA GearBOX, which is a completely new kind of repair solution for passenger-car manual transmissions that lets garages fix gearbox damage in-house. The INA GearBOX is developed for a specified transmission type and comes with all necessary components for professional transmission repair in OE quality. Besides wear parts - like gaskets, o-rings, shaft seals and main bearings inside the transmission - the repair solution also contains those components needed to fix the most common causes of transmission failure. An additional benefit here - the INA GearBOX repair solutions possess enormous market potential, for both garages and distribution partners.

"expect more" also means the Aftermarket experts will be presenting a variety of innovative products and repair solutions - like the INA FEAD KIT, along with the modular LuK special tool system for removal and installation of dry double clutches. Besides exhibiting products for the passenger car, heavy commercial vehicle, and transmission segments, this year the light commercial vehicle segment will have its own product display too.

Visitors can truly "expect more" from Schaeffler Middle East at this year's Automechanika (Hall: 7, Stand: B-11 / A12). And for the second time in a row Schaeffler Middle East is presenting its four product worlds of the LuK, INA, FAG and Ruville together on one exhibition space with KBC Bearings, Continental's VDO Passenger Cars & VDO Vehicles Electronics.
