Mahle Group is seeking to embrace new powertrain technologies by creating a new business unit for electronics and mechatronics. Heinz Junker, chairman of Mahle’s supervisory board, said it was “actively reinforcing our innovative strength in the field of alternative drives”. Mahle CEO Jörg Stratmann said: “By transferring these activities into a business unit and combining it with the product areas of compressors and pumps for strategic purposes, we are focusing all our efforts on further growth and the ongoing development of our product portfolio for the mobility of the future.” Wilhelm Emperhoff, currently in charge of Mahle’s filtration and engine peripherals among other things, will head the new business unit.
