In the series of articles under the theme "The auto industry is changing rapidly" we have reached the second to last article. We give our bid on how the future will look like for spare part wholesalers in the automotive aftermarket.

In addition to the primary pump of the cooling system, electrically powered additional water pumps can be mounted for various reasons. We have just added 8 new references to our programme, which now includes 43 references.

It certainly does not require the imagination of a child to imagine the many ways 3D printing could change the spare parts industry as we know it today. Imagine being able to produce and deliver replacement parts at the push of a button when the demand arises, and never have to struggle with back orders. Imagine never having to look back on storage shelves with unsold parts. That sounds nice - right? But is that at all possible?
Triscan's sensor family has gained yet another member. More than 200 references are stocked and ready for delivery. As always, these are OE-quality sensors, which are 100% function-tested - and the programme is wide-ranging in relation to the European car park.
The ability of a spare part wholesaler to create a solid bottom line not only depends on purchase prices, but is significantly influenced by many other factors - including the wholesaler's product portfolios coverage of the car park, order fill, delivery time to the market, stock value, purchase frequency and last but not least interest rate level.
In the automotive industry - whether it's car manufacturers, car dealers, or wholesalers in the aftermarket - consolidating has meant that over the last decade many have become relatively few. Most will agree that this development has taken place very quickly, creating new opportunities on the one hand, but also many challenges for the players in the automotive industry on the other hand. However, experts and futurists concede that the next few decades will bring far more profound changes in the industry.
We are more than halfway into 2019 and the automotive industries media are full of news about changed market conditions and new technology that already, but especially in the long term, announces major changes for the players in the industry. But this development also opens new opportunities for Triscan. We are experiencing increasing interest in our strong competences in the complex/niche oriented product groups, where all wholesalers large and small, can achieve great benefits in a conceptual collaboration with us.
Once again we have news regarding parts for cars with alternative driveline. At Triscan you can now get parts within undercarriage and engine control for models from Chevrolet, Citroën, Hyundai, Kia, Mercedes, Mitsubishi, Opel, Peugeot, Toyota and VW.
