In addition to the platform, Elring is showcasing product innovations at Automechanika, including components for engine and transmission repairs such as oil pans, valve covers, oil filter housings, oil separators, and specialist tools. The range also includes cylinder-head gaskets for post-machining applications and expanding portfolio for alternative powertrains, including gaskets for electric drive units (EDUs), shaft seals for electric drives, and solutions for battery, inverter, and high-voltage applications.
