Connected cars and extended vehicle service are key concepts in the latest technological developments in the automotive industry. The technology that leads to increased digitalization is based on data collection in real time and it is no longer uncommon for a modern car to generate 5 GB of data per hour. These data can be used for developing and selling services to car owners.

In the northwestern part of Denmark and with only a few kilometers to some of the best beaches of the west coast and not least Klitmøller - among surfers abroad better known as Cold Hawaii - lies Han Herreds Reservedelslager (Han Herreds Spare Parts Warehouse) in the town of Fjerritslev.

Michael Juul Hansen - currently CEO of FTZ Autodele og Værktøj A/S (part of the Hella Group in Lippstat, Germany) - replaces John Iversen as CEO of Triscan.

Depending on car brand and model, the replacement of worn / defective ball joints can be a costly affair. The repair costs depend on, amongst other things, whether a complete replacement of the track control arm must be done or if replacing the ball joint and possibly the bushes is sufficient. Although ball joints often are available separately, it is not always sufficient to only replace the ball joint. In the following paragraphs, you will find out why this is – and what you should be aware of. 
 

Winter time and low temperatures have never been gas springs´ best friend. Very low temperatures can cause gas springs to leak gas in the seal between the piston and cylinder. This leads to a pressure drop which causes the gas spring to fully or partially cease to function. The phenomenon is especially prevalent with very cheap gas springs of poor quality. 

With 16 locations and more than 100 employees, Hirsch Autoteile GmbH is an important player on the German market. Hirsch and Triscan have been cooperating since 2012, and this cooperation has been intensified in the last two years. For Managing Director Mr. Joachim Hirsch, one thing is certain: the customer is the focus. The collaboration with Triscan works, among other things, due to the matching philosophies of the two companies. "We like that the cooperation takes place at eye level, is uncomplicated and is based on a partnership where a deal is a deal".

To imagine avoiding all claims is probably wishful thinking. But would it not be nice if there was a way you could reduce the number significantly? At Triscan we know that it is possible!

To complement Triscan’s programme of parts for the synchronization between the crankshaft and camshaft / camshafts, the programme is now expanded to include timing chain kit. The programme currently includes more than 40 references and will be extended ongoing.

Our objective to maintain a 97% programme coverage and delivery performance has not only created valuable and measurable results for our customers, but has also created value for the garages and car owners. With Triscan as a supplier, it is possible to increase sales, reduce inventory value and avoid backorders and even – in worst cases – lost sales. It requires both skilled employees, advanced IT and not least continuity, in order for us at Triscan to be able to achieve and subsequently maintain such a high objective in regard to our programme coverage and delivery performance.
