Product focus 25 www.aftermarketonline.net OCTOBER 2024 Fast-turnaround professional DPF cleaning from Ivor Searle Ivor Searle, the UK’s leading remanufacturer of automotive products, offers a fast turnaround offvehicle diesel particulate filter (DPF) cleaning service for cars and vans. Alongside free collection and delivery, the professional DPF cleaning service includes a detailed inspection report, plus a 12-month no quibble unlimited mileage warranty. Utilising state-of-the-art flash cleaning technology, Ivor Searle DPF cleaning provides as-new levels of cleanliness by removing all soot deposits, including PM10 particles, cerium oxide deposits and oil residues, from the DPF. Unlike chemical-based cleaning processes, which only remove soot, flash cleaning eliminates both soot and ash deposits. This returns a DPF back to OE levels of performance at a much lower cost than purchasing a new OEM unit or risking fitment problems that may occur with a generic replacement.

Labcraft’s range, unveiled at the IAA Transportation show in Hanover last month, features four models – BM2, BM3, BM4 and BM6. The products deliver additional bright light around the vehicle, helping drivers to manoeuvre more easily and with confidence, in open and confined spaces. With over 30,000 installations, ranging from large fleets to single vehicles, operators who have fitted the regulation 23-compliant lamp are reporting that safer manoeuvring has resulted in significant reduction in costs associated with accident damage and vehicle downtime, Labcraft said. To make Banksman even easier to fit for vehicle manufacturers, operators, and workshops, Labcraft is introducing a range of preassembled electrical harness kits, to reduce installation time and ensure long-term reliability for all vehicles — from rigids and urban vehicles to trailers up to 13.6m. Visitors to Labcraft’s stand also saw a selection of high intensity low voltage LED lighting solutions, and could even build their own using the new Labcraft Product Configurator. Labcraft puts Banksman systems in spotlight OSRAM switching to green packaging www.labcraft.co.uk https://ams-osram.com OE manufacturer and lighting specialist OSRAM is pushing ahead on sustainable packaging and has now begun to replace packaging for its entire retrofit bulb portfolio in the automotive lighting sector with ecofriendly alternatives. The company’s goal is to have carbon neutrality of its own operations by 2030 and it is applying the strategy principle ‘avoid, reduce, compensate’ to its reduction path. OSRAM is already contributing to a significant reduction in its ecological footprint through continual technological product development. The latest examples are the extremely durable ULTRA LIFE halogen bulbs with longer lifetime and the development of on-road and off-road retrofit LED bulbs, which require 60% less energy than conventional halogen bulbs and have a longer service life. The company is now taking the next important step towards even greater sustainability by changing to 100% plastic-free and fully recyclable packaging made from recycled materials for all its automotive bulbs. The new packs are as durable and robust as their predecessors. Products in the box are no longer visible, but they are depicted full size on the packaging to be easily identifiable.
