MEYLE was one of the most active parts suppliers at Automechanika Frankfurt introducing a wide range of new components for both electric and combustion engine vehicles. 

New enhancements of the MEYLE e-mobility range, including new spare parts for Tesla vehicles were one of the innovations on show. This included a new MEYLE PD HEPA Cabin Air Filter Kit for Tesla Model Y. The model features a 4 filter set with a large surface area that require replacement in a 3 year cycle. To reduce waste MEYLE offers a sustainable solution for its aftermarket version by using a bioplastic made from over 95% bio-based, renewable ingredients. In addition, the efficient design of the MEYLE filter set ensures material savings and thus a weight reduction of around 50%. 

Also for Tesla, the new MEYLE HD Rear Axle Control Arm for Tesla S and X Models was premiered. Due to the design of the original rear axle control arm, the integral joint mounts can break, causing the connection to the wheel carrier to possibly become loose. The MEYLE solution, a solid aluminium material and adapted suspension mounts, ensures that the tyre is held in position.  In addition, the optimised bushing design improves the driving experience.

Also new was the MEYLE ORIGINAL Tesla Transmission Oil Change Kit. This is available for all models (S/X/3/Y) and meets Tesla OE standards. As a complete package, it contains all necessary accessories, including the correct filter and a screw cap with integrated magnet, providing a workshop solution that saves time and money.

Another MEYLE SOLUTION for the Tesla Model S is the MEYLE PD Wiring Harness for the front bumper. The MEYLE part uses a double protective jacket to protect the Tesla cables from vibration and damage and means significantly increased durability.   

MEYLE also presented many new products for combustion vehicles, including a MEYLE HD Rear Axle Control Arm for VW Golf 7. These control arms on the rear axle are prone to corrosion. The new MEYLE HD rear axle control arm features a zinc flake coating, which makes it less sensitive to stone chips and therefore more resistant to corrosion than the OE part. Furthermore, the MEYLE control arm boasts a significantly higher tensile strength construction. 

MEYLE has also developed a pre-assembled tie rod. The tie rod end, axial joint and bellows with clamps are supplied fully assembled, so that the mechanic can replace the complete tie rod without having to disassemble individual parts. Not only does the mechanic get all the parts he/she needs in one piece, including mounting material, but no longer has to waste time researching and ordering parts separately. 

As part of the MEYLE ORIGINAL range the company has also added a Driveshaft for Volvo XC60. This has a displacement unit (ballspline) and thanks to the larger displacement range of 60-100 mm (compared to 40-50 mm for conventional driveshafts), the product enables significantly increased axle articulation, which is particularly necessary in the off-road and SUV sector. 

Lastly MEYLE Headlamp Levelling Sensors were also shown for the first time. The initial range offers 33 different sensors for VAG, covering a car park of 120 million vehicles in Europe. A range of around 100 sensor components is planned for the future. 

These products will be available from MEYLE stockist over the coming months.
