Integrated powertrain solutions from a single supplier
High-performance engines have been our passion for decades—both in motorsport as well as series production vehicles. Today, MAHLE offers comprehensive engineering and systems competence throughout the world for engines and powertrains. No other engineering services supplier in the powertrain segment has a broader and in depth knowledge of the entire engine. We cover the full spectrum of engine design and manufacture: from the initial concept to the development of complete new engines—and in conjunction with our in-house foundry and manufacturing the production and supply of engine sub-assemblies and whole engines.
We have the capability to undertake all engineering tasks for our customers in the areas such as fuel consumption and emissions reduction, driveability optimisation, and electronic control unit applications and diagnostics. Our service support is comprehensive, competent, and highly cost efficient.
Research and development
In cooperation with the worldwide network of MAHLE research and development centres, MAHLE Powertrain works on innovative solutions for new engine and powertrain concepts in order to reduce energy consumption and exhaust emissions: e.g. downsizing, turbocharging, range extenders, alternative/bio-fuels, exhaust gas aftertreatment and optimisation of engine friction and tribology.
Design and verification
Our product developments for the combustion engine range from single cylinder research and industrial engines to high-performance engines for road or motorsport applications. Experienced resident engineers are available to assist our customers on site. Computer-aided engineering and analysis processes ensure that designs are generated in a time and cost effective manner. State-of-the-art CAD systems are employed throughout the development process to deliver precise and robust data models or simulations.
Testing and calibration
For comprehensive engine development and durability testing, we use steady state and transient engine test benches (both climatic and ambient) and vehicle chassis dynamometers. These certified facilities allow the engine’s performance characteristics, as well as the fuel economy and entire emissions spectrum to be measured, analysed and optimised.
