Installing chassis parts that almost immediately begin to rust isn’t good business. Until now, most aftermarket chassis parts manufacturers have relied on conventional electrostatic painting methods to give certain sheet metal parts additional resistance to corrosion.

TEXA Tool Users to Have Instant Access to F-M Parts Information, Technical SupportBecause every minute added to a repair can reduce workshop profitability, the ability to instantly access the right replacement parts information and technical details is an invaluable business advantage. And Federal-Mogul has established an innovative partnership with a leading diagnostic tool supplier to make this advantage a reality.

Federal-Mogul and TEXA have announced a new solution that allows workshop professionals to identify the correct OE-quality replacement products and receive vital repair-related information directly through their TEXA diagnostic tools. This timesaving service, which will be available through TEXA’s new IDC4 software, eliminates the need for the technician to leave the service bay in order to access parts and repair information.

“The users of TEXA tools can access directly from the diagnostic tool to our Spare part catalogue, following the instructions explained on www.fm-ecat.eu, Federal-Mogul’s market-leading electronic parts catalogue, which covers engine, sealing, braking, chassis, ignition and other components for millions of applications,” said Olivier Legrand, Federal-Mogul marketing and business development director Europe, Middle East, Africa & South America.

In addition to a dynamic link to Federal-Mogul’s www.fm-ecat.eu electronic catalogue, the new TEXA software will enable users to access any of thousands of product and repair bulletins and other valuable technical information available in support of Federal-Mogul brands.

Federal-Mogul’s MOOG® brand is going much further through a sophisticated and highly durable new “Cataphoresis” coating on all sheet metal wishbones and track control arms. And in doing so, MOOG is adopting and even exceeding the same technology now required by most vehicle OEMs.

“Very few aftermarket chassis parts manufacturers worldwide have stepped up to Cataphoresis technology because they want to avoid the extra cost that comes with the improved rust resistance,” said Gültekin Hazer, Federal-Mogul Technical Manager MOOG, Europe, Middle East and Africa. “The MOOG brand is different. Our parts are engineered and built to earn the customer’s trust by providing not only an easier repair but also the best possible performance and durability.”

Cataphoresis technology is a highly effective pre-treatment of the component prior to painting. The part is immersed in a bath of electrically charged paint that covers all surfaces – inner and outer – with a consistent coating. Next, the part is baked at high temperature to ensure superior bonding and coating strength.

Most competing aftermarket chassis suppliers use a far less effective, electrostatic painting, method that is no longer accepted by OEMs for exterior components.

Recent durability testing showed that competitors’ electrostatically painted parts were covered with corrosive rust on exterior surfaces within just 300 hours of exposure to salt spray, and inner surfaces were rust-covered within just 100 hours. MOOG double-layer sheet metal wishbones showed no signs of rust corrosion even after 750 hours of salt spray testing and single-layer wishbones were rust-free beyond 850 hours.

“That’s a major advantage in the minds of the service provider and her or his customer,” Hazer said. “Excessive rust can compromise component strength and, ultimately, the driver’s safety. Thus, using MOOG is an excellent way to earn the consumer’s trust.”

Knorr-Bremse ProTec S® Caliper Spring TechnologyNow Available Through Ferodo® CV Brake Pad RangeFederal-Mogul has introduced a range of premium-quality Ferodo® commercial-vehicle brake pads equipped with Knorr-Bremse’s advanced ProTec S® caliper spring technology. These new brake pads, featuring springs pre-welded to the back plate, are available for a variety of truck and trailer applications in combination with Knorr SN7 calipers. Ferodo’s friction product engineers worked closely with Knorr-Bremse and leading European commercial-vehicle OEMs to bring the benefits of ProTec S technology – including longer spring service life and quieter, safer and more efficient brake operation – to the Ferodo product line.

“The Ferodo brand is driven by technology, and we’re consistently the first to introduce the latest OE-preferred designs to our broad portfolio of replacement friction components,” said Silvano Veglia, Federal-Mogul product marketing director, braking, Europe, Middle East and Africa. “so the ProTec S spring design is an ideal addition to our product range.”

Unlike conventional caliper spring retention systems, which rely on a clamp for attachment to the brake pad, the ProTec S design features a direct, welded connection between the spring and back plate. This approach increases application force across the brake pad, resulting in improved guidance of the pad and reduced vibration and noise. Because the ProTec S design acts as a sliding device, it protects against abrasion caused by dirt between the spring and retaining clip and provides easier back-sliding of the brake pad away from the disc, which reduces idle wear. Also, with the spring pre-attached, this design eliminates the unsafe practice of reusing old springs with new brake pads.

The latest Ferodo product applications information is available 24/7 through the convenient www.FM-ecat.com electronic catalogue.

Owners of Alloy Wheels Have New Friend In Ferodo® COAT PLUS™ Brake DiscsThe growing popularity of alloy wheels has led to an additional competitive advantage for workshops that install Ferodo® brake products. That’s because the Ferodo product line now includes premium coated brake discs that eliminate the unsightly corrosion often associated with conventional discs. This new range complements the brand’s existing, market-leading offering of brake discs.

Ferodo is now offering a new coating and computer controlled application process that helps ensure minimal thickness variation and exceptional, long-term resistance to corrosion.

“Our new COAT PLUS brake discs combine the very best cosmetic characteristics with best-in-class quality, so workshops and their customers can be certain the repair will result in noise- and vibration-free performance,” said Mario Garelli, Federal-Mogul braking products manager, Europe, Middle East and Africa.

The new Ferodo discs may be installed without any further oil/grease removal operation, making the job for installers easier and faster.

When Federal-Mogul’s Ferodo® brakes team unveiled its new, “You’re in Control” brand position last year, it was immediately clear that the long-term focus is on providing workshop professionals with all of the tools needed to complete more high-quality brake repairs every day.

Nearly half a year later, this innovative program is touching thousands of workshops across Europe, and the message is clearly resonating with business owners, technicians and consumers.

“Our extensive research showed that workshop professionals wanted to feel more in control of their brake business through increased technical and brand support, and that’s exactly what we’ve set out to accomplish,” said Hayley Elwen, brand manager, braking, Europe, Middle East and Africa.

The Ferodo team has followed up on this commitment through comprehensive promotional support, extensive product and application information and an intense focus on technical assistance through the all-new www.myferodo.com website. The team is now conducting a pan-European tour of workshops to help customers access and leverage these new services and enhance their ability to communicate the value of premium brake components to millions of consumers. The road show encompasses thousands of visits to workshops and distributors across Europe. Workshops new to the Ferodo brand are introduced to the range and informed of nearby Ferodo suppliers. Technical information and support are provided, along with information on Federal-Mogul’s training programs.

“This isn’t a one-time promotion or relatively short-term marketing program – it represents an entirely new approach to the brake repair business,” Elwen said. “We’re encouraging workshops to expect more from their brake suppliers and to partner with our OE-focused product line to increase their sales and market share in this very competitive category.”

The most popular brake brand in North America is now available throughout Europe, providing workshops with a competitively priced alternative for millions of customers.

New Wagner® brake pads from Federal-Mogul combine one of the world’s most trusted brands with a variety of effective, proven friction formulations and designs for a broad range of vehicle models. The new Wagner pad range covers approximately 96 percent of the European car parc.

Research Drives Enhanced Offering

A recent market analysis conducted by the Federal-Mogul braking team showed three clearly defined segments within the friction market: premium, or OE-quality; mid-range products for quality-conscious consumers who have budgetary concerns; and entry-level products. To ensure Federal-Mogul customers can service the entire market, the team completed a broad realignment of its light-vehicle braking brands.

The Ferodo® brand, with its full range of products, remains well positioned as the company’s premium, OE-quality range – with Ferodo Premier and Ferodo Thermoquiet as premium and niche sub-brands.

Wagner has been introduced to service those customers who are conscious of repair costs but unwilling to compromise on safety and brake quality.

“By relying on Ferodo and Wagner brake pads, workshops now have truly world-class friction options at every price point,” said Silvano Veglia, Federal-Mogul product marketing director, braking, Europe, Middle East and Africa.

Each Wagner pad is engineered to deliver strong fade resistance and pedal feel under a full range of driving conditions. These R90-approved pads are equipped with fine-blanked backing plates that ensure improved shaping and an optimal pad-to-caliper interface. This characteristic helps provide low brake noise combined with excellent stopping power and long pad life.

“There are some customers who are simply not going to want a premium pad, but that doesn’t mean the workshop should take a risk on a product that could lead to severe braking issues and shorter service life,” Veglia said. “Federal-Mogul has stepped up to help make sure our business partners have a quality brake pad for every vehicle and budget.”

Solely manufactured in the Federal-Mogul friction factories responsible for Original Equipment product manufacturing, Wagner brakes receive the benefit of ISO-certified facilities with top manufacturing processes and quality control. Wagner clearly offers a solution to thousands of workshops and car-owners looking for a reliable brake pad at an affordable price.

Premium Goetze® Niche Sealing RangeHighlighted in 2011-2012 CatalogueFederal-Mogul’s premium, OE-technology Goetze® range of sealing components for German engines is the focus of a comprehensive new catalogue (CATGT1101). The Goetze niche sealing range complements Federal-Mogul’s Payen® brand, the company’s all makes/all models “Expert Brand” in the sealing category.

The Goetze sealing offering for German applications now includes approximately 1,000 part numbers – 106 of which are brand new – covering LV, LCV and CV applications from BMW, Deutz, MAN, Mercedes-Benz, MWM, OM, Porsche, Smart and the VW Group. Products include head & conversion sets, cylinder head, valve cover, manifold and oil pan gaskets, valve stem seals and related components – with each part representing world-class, OEM-preferred technology.

The catalogue is printed in six languages – Arabic, English, French, Polish, Russian and Spanish – to serve thousands of aftermarket professionals throughout Europe, the Middle East and Africa. The catalogue offers 2 methods of selecting the parts, by part number listing & by engine application.

“The Goetze brand is exceptionally strong among workshops and engine rebuilders specializing in German applications because they understand that Goetze is the choice of many of these engine manufacturers, said Bert de Haes, Federal-Mogul product manager, sealing components, Europe, Middle East and Africa. “We are committed to building on the strength of this great brand by delivering the best sealing designs and materials for each German engine.”

In addition to the latest applications listings, the new catalogue includes a comprehensive, user-friendly interchange, illustrated guide to the part numbering system across each of Federal-Mogul’s five Expert Brands, and detailed information concerning the company’s highly effective new anti-counterfeit program.

New Coverage, Award-Winning Designs FeaturedIn New Champion® Wipers, Filters CataloguesIf you’re looking for market-leading application coverage and the latest and best technologies in the wipers and filters categories, look no further than Federal-Mogul’s new Champion® Wipers and Champion Filters catalogues. Each of these resources features significantly increased coverage and world-class products for today’s vehicles.

The new Champion Wipers catalogue (CATCM1004) includes more than 100 new applications representing virtually every major vehicle nameplate. Key additions to the Champion wipers range include premium, OE-quality Champion Contact® flat blades for several BMW, Mercedes and Audi models as well as new Contact rear flat blades for a significant portion of the vehicle parc. Also featured in the catalogue are conventional, OE-quality Champion AeroVantage® wipers for light vehicles.

The 2011-2012 Champion Filters catalogue (CATCM1005) includes scores of new SKUs covering a broad range of vehicle nameplates and models. In fact, the Champion filters range now includes more than 57,000 unique applications, an increase of over 12,000 since 2009.

“Both catalogues include new tools and additional technical information to serve as the most user-friendly resources in the industry,” said Tim Plasberg, Federal-Mogul brand manager, service & steering, Europe, Middle East and Africa. “And, of course, these catalogues demonstrate our aggressive growth in coverage across the wipers and filters categories, where the Champion brand is a convenient, one-stop partner for parts distributors and their customers.”

Federal-Mogul offers five “Expert brands” in the engine category – but what does this term really mean? The answer can be found

in the latest original equipment engine technologies, an impressive number of which were developed by Federal-Mogul researchers and ultimately will be available within the company’s aftermarket product range.

“Because we are among the world’s leading OE manufacturers in each engine category, our aftermarket brands offer several important advantages for distributors, engine rebuilders and workshop professionals,” said Mark Whitehead, Federal-Mogul product marketing director, engine & sealing, Europe, Middle East and Africa. “When you look to the latest award-winning OE innovations, you’ll see that Federal-Mogul stands out. And these technologies will eventually become very prevalent in the aftermarket.”

Federal-Mogul in recent years has received more Automotive News PACE™ technology innovation awards – including two announced in early April – than any other supplier. This ever growing range of OE engine and sealing innovations is developed by scientists within the company’s global research network.

The company’s most recent PACE winners are:

The EcoTough®-coated piston and LKZ® oil control ring. The EcoTough coating combines the properties of low wear and low friction in a single application. It offers superior wear resistance and reduces fuel consumption by up to 0.8 percent as compared to conventional piston coatings. The coating also helps reduce CO2 emissions.

The two-piece LKZ oil control ring reduces oil consumption by up to 50 percent and friction by up to 15 percent as compared to the best conventional two-piece oil rings. Additional benefits include improved fuel economy, reduced emissions and longer oil life.

Federal-Mogul also had two technologies selected as PACE finalists this year: IROX™ Polymer Overlay, a coated engine bearing shell that helps reduce fuel consumption and CO2 emissions; and K16™ Bonded Unipiston®, a single-piece

bonded, sealed hydraulic clutch piston featuring an innovative elastomer compound the does not require oven curing.

“Within the next decade, potentially millions of engines and transmissions featuring these technologies will enter the aftermarket repair cycle,” Whitehead said. “And when they do, distributors and other customers who carry Federal-Mogul’s Expert brands will have a significant advantage over their competitors. In essence, our Expert brands help make every customer a true expert in the engine marketplace.”
