Motorservice is helping workshops to cope with the rapid rise in electric vehicles with a fast developing product portfolio with numerous components for electric vehicles, as well as specialist EV training. Parent company, Rheinmetall, is also implementing its electric mobility strategy and offers a wealth of promising solutions for the aftermarket.


EVs now feature significantly in Motorservice training modules with handling electric cars a key element of training courses. As part of the training, workshop owners, experts and mechanics from repair shops as well as other service and technical-oriented sales staff learn which safety systems are used in the vehicle, how these can be identified and which measures have to be taken in individual cases, in addition to legal aspects. Due to the increased risk, there is always a focus on personal safety throughout the training. As the need for training is so high, Motorservice will soon be expanding its range of courses on the topic of electric mobility. These training courses are currently being prepared. As early as 2023, they will be added to the current training programme and will focus exclusively on the new technology.

Motorservice also makes components for electric vehicles available to the aftermarket. As a subsidiary of the technology group Rheinmetall, the spare parts specialist benefits from the immense know-how of the group and their numerous new developments in the field of e-mobility. As the sales organisation for Rheinmetall's aftermarket activities, Motorservice sources a large part of its range from within the Rheinmetall Group, including its subsidiaries Kolbenschmidt and Pierburg. In addition to electric water pumps, electric control valves, solenoid valves and electric coolant and vacuum pumps, various cabin filters are also available in the portfolio for electric vehicles. 

Rheinmetall has recently entered into contracts for chassis parts for electric SUVs, crankcases for a well-known American manufacturer of electric vehicles and battery carriers for a premium German car manufacturer. The automotive supplier attracted particular attention with the world's first suspension spring made of glass fibre, which has the advantage of weighing up to 75% less than a conventional steel spring. The company is also able to impress when it comes to safety thanks to its high-voltage pyrofuse system, which ensures safe operation of battery-electric vehicles (BEV), plug-in hybrids (PHEV) and fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEV). The system disconnects the battery or the DC charger in case of emergency such as accident, crash or short circuit, reducing possible dangers and risks for passengers and rescue teams. It has an ultra-fast response time of less than a millisecond and cuts off the power supply immediately.

With its strong service ethos and international sales structure, alongside its direct access to the major international automotive supplier's immense expertise, innovation and high quality standards, Motorservice says it can offer its partners high-quality solutions for the challenges that come with changing mobility and its influence on the automotive aftermarket.
