Recent years has seen a huge rise in the growth of SUVs and these vehicles are generally larger, heavier and more complex than traditional saloon cars. As a result, the individual parts have to withstand increasingly higher loads.

German parts specialist MEYLE is constantly striving to improve the longevity and performance of its products, taking them to the next level, with the aim of keeping vehicles on the road for as long as possible. A prime example of this are MEYLE HD parts which are carefully re-engineered to provide tailored, long lasting, aftermarket solutions. 

MEYLE says that its HD products are technically superior to the original OE part, with reinforced and optimised design and high-quality materials to make them more durable and reliable. As a result these parts last longer and often outperform OEM parts. 

MEYLE product managers and engineers are very well connected within the industry and at the same time very close to the market itself. Many of the team are also passionate mechanics and are in regular contact with garages and car enthusiasts. This gives them the opportunity to recognise problems at an early stage.

If the team hear of issues with an OE part they will begin looking into how problems can be solved and the part can be improved. Engineers at the MEYLE HQ in Hamburg and at production sites, then work together to develop a solution. The process will see the original parts thoroughly tested using a variety of measuring data and wear tests to determine possible weak spots. 

The MEYLE research team have developed a special set of characteristics to determine whether a product is suitable for the HD line. The time between identifying a problem and producing a finished product solution may be quite considerable. This is because with MEYLE, the focus is always on quality, so no product goes into series production until it meets 100% of the required improved specification. 

MEYLE say that because of this, a MEYLE HD part simply lasts longer and therefore reflects exactly what we at MEYLE stand for: high-quality parts that keep cars on the road for longer, adding to sustainability.  MEYLE HD part also benefit from an extended 4-year warranty.

A wide selection of HD parts are available from MEYLE stockists.
