Gates – Hall 2; Stand B91
In addition to other product range extensions, Gates will unveil its latest belt innovation at the Automechanika show – an all new Micro-V® belt specially engineered for today’s powerful and downsized engines.
The belt is designed to run silently, with greater stability and unparalleled flexibility. Following the new belt introduction and recent extensions of all metal product ranges for the accessory belt drive, Gates aims to further establish itself as a one-stop-shop for the accessory belt drive system with its range of DriveAlign tensioners, torsional vibration dampers and overrunning alternator pulleys growning substantially in the last couple of months.
The continuously growing range of timing belt kits, including a water pump, will also feature prominently on the stand. With these kits installers are able to perform a full overhaul of the timing belt drive. As the water pump is a vital element of a car’s cooling system and a malfunction could damage the timing belt, installers should not take any risks. The best way to guarantee a safe and performing system is to replace the belt together with the tensioners and water pump all at the same time.
Gates will also present its vast technical support programme including training seminars, technical bulletins and a new extensive troubleshooting manual. This document holds information on a diagnostic approach for accessory belt drive system failures and is an invaluable tool for every installer.
Visitors to the stand will also be able to attend on-the-spot technical training sessions during which installation methods and tips will be explained in depth.
GKN – Hall 6; Stand B60

TECDOC – Hall 5/6.1
UK visitors planning to attend Automechanika will be welcome on the TecDoc stand where they will be able to meet the team and see for themselves some of the products the company is developing for future introduction.
Among the new initiatives the company will be launching are an Apple iPad application and other mini-web applications; such as screen size optimisation for both android and iPhone smart phone devices.
TecDoc’s Commercial Director for UK and Eire, Shaun Greasley says: “As well as these new developments visitors to the show can also see some of our existing services that if incorporated on to their systems would deliver real-world benefits to their businesses. The WEB SHOP and Web Service options are perfect examples because they provide alternative routes for distributors and their customers to access the parts data held in the TecDoc CATALOG electronic parts catalogue system.
“With the WEB SHOP option, TecDoc will design and build a web portal that can either integrate with an existing website or provide the complete front end for a bespoke site. By contrast the Web Service solution is ideal for those businesses who have already developed their own website, but purely wish to introduce a parts search facility for those browsing the site. With both options the level of information that users can access can be specific and reflect the relationship they have with the distributor. Existing customers could be able to access more information on the site than the public for example, but obviously these details can be tailored to suit each individual requirement.
“In either WEB SHOP or Web Service format, or in fact through a standard CATALOG licence, users are now able to interrogate the real-time stock level of TecDoc data suppliers because the TecCom order processing option is now a standard feature on the TecDoc site. Obviously visitors will be able to try these services, as well as the VRM search facility which has now been extended to cover commercial vehicle applications for themselves, and I encourage them to come and see the significant contribution that TecDoc can make to their businesses.”
TRW Automotive Aftermarket – Hall 2.0; Stand B60
TRW Automotive Aftermarket will use this year’s Automechanika exhibition as a platform to showcase its Corner Module offer of OE quality braking, steering & suspension parts and systems for passenger cars, light and heavy commercial vehicles.
A dynamic stand will highlight how TRW is supporting its global customer base with its ‘one stop shop’ approach and it also highlights how the business has taken automotive safety to the next level with major technological developments; despite difficult global economic conditions.
“We are experts in understanding and interpreting market conditions – and are flexible enough to adapt our strategy quickly to meet market demands. However, our key goal of placing the customer at the heart of our organisation, never changes,” explains TRW’s UK Marketing Manager, Jon Sellars.
He continues: “Operating in a difficult landscape and shrouded in austerity, the aftermarket has a very difficult task ahead of it as it continues to deal with the increased complexity of the vehicle parc and the emergence of new technologies, in order to compete for business with other factions of the industry.
“Automechanika is the most important event in the aftermarket calendar. It is important that the major players regroup at such an event to illustrate their growth and development and to prepare for the future, and that any newcomers to the industry are welcomed into what is now a sharper, more structured – and more transparent aftermarket.”
Valeo – Hall 3.0; Stand A11
As a multi-specialist, Valeo will display its complete offer consisting of passenger car and truck applications (European and Asian) and latest technologies.
