Global premium automotive parts corporation MAHLE, based in Hamburg, Germany, revealed the excellence of its HD product line.

MAHLE is a premium global automotive parts corporation located in Hamburg, Germany, manufacturing core components optimized for various imported car brands such as BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Porsche, Tesla, and Volvo. The company not only exports auto parts to over 120 countries worldwide but also offers specialized maintenance services for imported vehicles in South Korea, gaining recognition as a premium parts brand in the aftermarket.

The MAHLE product lineup is largely divided into the MAHLE Original, which perfectly matches the vehicle's original equipment, MAHLE HD, which applies high-quality materials and enhances durability, and MAHLE PD, focusing on performance and design in each institutional sector of the vehicle.

Among them, MAHLE HD is a product line developed with the slogan "Better than OE" by technically improving the shortcomings of original equipment (OE) components. It primarily consists of suspension and steering components directly related to the vehicle's ride comfort and stability, with a total of 1,250 types of parts. It features high-quality materials and boasts a longer lifespan compared to original parts due to its strong durability.

MAHLE analyzed defect cases of OE parts from various automotive manufacturers and applied improved part designs through technological testing as well as high-quality materials, resulting in the creation of a more durable MAHLE HD product line.

Import car customers whose warranty periods have expired face many difficulties in vehicle maintenance and parts selection due to the distribution of low-quality products or imitation parts used by some private repair shops. A MAHLE HD official is confident that "verified high-quality products for domestic import car customers will play a significant role in restoring trust in the import car parts market."

Representatives of the MAHLE HD's technological prowess include MAHLE HD ball pins, MAHLE HD rubber bushings, and MAHLE HD stabilizer links.

In the case of ball pins, which are parts of the joint section that play a crucial role in the steering system and suspension, even original OE products can experience wear of the ball joint due to high loads and pressures, resulting in a shortened vehicle lifespan and decreased driving safety. MAHLE developed an extended "MAHLE HD ball pin" that has a larger diameter than general vehicle OE part ball heads, distributing the force applied to the surface and minimizing wear, resulting in a product with significantly superior durability compared to the originals. In practice, MAHLE HD ball pin parts show a markedly longer lifespan compared to originals, enhancing driving safety.

For hydraulic bushings within the suspension, directly related to vehicle vibrations and ride quality, oil leakage can occur due to even a single shock when passing over rough surfaces, as they typically fit loosely together. The MAHLE HD rubber bushings, improved to address this issue, are made from a special rubber material and are strongly bonded to the outside of the bushing, enhancing durability. They maintain excellent performance even under high-intensity driving conditions and have been recognized for their outstanding performance in the global automotive market for decades.

Additionally, the MAHLE HD stabilizer link, which prevents sharp leaning motions and helps find balance when the vehicle turns, is a part well demonstrating HD's technology, which is already gaining great popularity in the global market. The stabilizer link is a key consolidation component of the steering and suspension system, controlling body lean and rolling during vehicle cornering, supporting precise handling, and contributing to improved driving stability and ride comfort. The MAHLE HD stabilizer link tests have shown remarkable results, with no dislocation symptoms appearing even after 1 million experiments, earning it recognition as a top-tier stabilizer component.

A MAHLE official noted, "MAHLE's products are of the highest quality and can be applied to most premium imported car brands, earning recognition in the global market," adding that it would be a good choice for imported car owners who can select premium parts with confidence, especially after their warranty periods have expired.

MAHLE has launched a premium imported vehicle maintenance specialty brand called "MAHLE Auto Service" in South Korea, providing vehicle management and maintenance services to domestic import car customers through 61 service centers nationwide.
