The environment is on everyone's lips with both demands, but also a request to change behavior, to reflect and consider. At Triscan, we have implemented several initiatives in recent years that not only benefit the environment, but also the operating budget. 

Most of the initiatives have been coordinated by Jørn Kim Jensen, who is responsible for the operation and maintenance of the buildings. The initiatives alone that have focused on reducing Triscan's electricity consumption have, in rounded numbers, reduced this by over 100,000 kWh/year.   

We now also supply wheel hubs with axle shafts for Mercedes Benz Sprinter and VW Crafter. Unlike the wheel hubs that are most often offered in the aftermarket where the axle shaft is not included in the delivery, we can like the original, deliver the complete unit. 

Once again, our extensive programme of gas springs has been expanded. For the BMW X5 (E70) we now stock the special coil-over gas spring for the tailgate. Another new product is the special tension springs for the tailgate of the BMW 5 Series (E60 and F10).

The total of 4 new references can be found in TriWeb or TecDoc under the following Triscan or OE numbers:

18 references of air bellows and compressors in OE quality are ready for delivery. The programme is composed of high demand item numbers for AUDI, BMW, CITROËN, MERCEDES BENZ, PORSCHE, TESLA and VW.  

Several car models are equipped with an EGR cooler for cooling the exhaust gas which is supplied to the EGR valve. Although the EGR valve and EGR cooler often are combined into one unit, the EGR cooler can often be replaced separately, in cases where it has become leaky. We are now launching a comprehensive programme of more than 60 EGR coolers in OE quality.

We have continuously informed which parts we stock for Tesla - and now even more have been added. As the first on the free aftermarket, we now offer cv joints and boot kits. With the latest product releases, we have more than 40 parts primarily for the S and X models. 

Under the headline "The car industry is changing rapidly – are you keeping up?" we brought, in the last edition of our newsletter, the first article in a series in which we focus on the challenges that the industry is facing. In this article, we take a closer look at the possible scenarios that will arise for car manufacturers and car dealers.
