Latest Range Extension

Leading transmission supplier, Shaftec, has announced its latest range extension of 190 references covering approximately 360 vehicle applications. With ever growing car parc coverage, this news supports Shaftec’s position as a leading supplier of high quality braking steering and transmission components and highlights its growing presence across the European aftermarket.

In detail, the range extension comprises: 36 calipers (of which six are remanufactured Electric Parking Brake (EPB) calipers with new motors); 114 driveshafts; 22 steering racks; 13 steering pumps; two constant velocity (CV) joints and three boot kits.

Of particular note are: EPB caliper for the popular VW Passat and driveshaft for the Ford Fiesta.

Sales and marketing director, Tom Curtis, commented: “We pride ourselves on getting new parts to market, quickly; and at a fair and competitive price. This way, the garages can confidently and quickly do their job and pass on any savings to encourage return custom.”

The business continues to steadily gain market share across its key European markets. Central to this is the company’s ability to marry quality with value for money. For example, Shaftec’s  EPB caliper offer which combines the best of both worlds - remanufactured core and new motor.
