Hamburg-based manufacturer Wulf Gaertner Autoparts is highlighting the quality and performance of its range of truck engine mounts by putting them through their paces in the 2016 FIA European Truck Racing Championship.

The MEYLE and MEYLE-HD aftermarket ranges include some 50 different engine mount applications. Testifying to the parts' superior quality MEYLE engine mounts for commercial vehicles are debuting on the race track fitted on the "tankpool24" race truck.

Norbert Kiss, reigning European Champion for the second year running and one of the team's experienced drivers said, "The operating conditions in motor racing are extremely demanding, calling for extremely durable parts. In previous racing seasons, MEYLE brake discs and pads have already testified to their extraordinary strength, now MEYLE engine mounts have impressed us with their equally high quality."

Sven Nielsen, Head of Strategic Product Development at MEYLE commented, "As partners in technology our in-house engineers maintain an on-going dialogue with team's technicians, allowing us to put the MEYLE engine mounts to the test under racing conditions. The findings are fed straight back to the development process of MEYLE truck engine mounts.  This allows MEYLE's engineers to scrutinize material quality and part performance when put to use in extreme conditions and use the results to make continual improvements.” He added, "Naturally, our customers benefit from the technical expertise developed under race conditions. After all, we supply the team with exactly the same engine mounts we ship to our customers from our warehouse - there is absolutely no difference."

Sven explained that only highest-grade rubber compounds and casing materials are used for the production of MEYLE engine mounts to make the parts last longer and perform reliably under the dramatic static, dynamic and thermal stresses to which engine mounts are exposed. The range of MEYLE truck spare parts features repair solutions from the chassis & steering, suspension & damping and cooling and brakes product groups.
