Since the launch, ‘Brands at TPS’ has welcomed renowned aftermarket brands Mahle, SKF and ZF into the TPS product family, with Bosch and Niterra now joining them. Further suppliers will be added with HELLA and Valeo, due to be on board by the end of the year. TPS is initially offering up to around 2,000 third-party parts, with plans to increase this to over 10,000 as the ‘Brands at TPS’ range develops and new third-party brands come on board over the coming years Catherine Baker, Head of TPS, said: “We are delighted to add Bosch and Niterra to ‘Brands at TPS’ and the products they bring into the range will further boost our parts offering to TPS customers. “TPS will remain dedicated to Genuine as our primary offer, and that doesn’t change, but we can now offer a one-stop-shop for our mechanical customers’ needs, including a wideranging selection of third-party branded parts. “We also offer Quantum Oils and Consumables which are hugely successful and well loved by our customers. “This new development means a wider range delivered through our existing network and helps to make TPS the parts supplier the aftermarket trade can trust for pretty much everything they require.” As part of ‘Brands at TPS’, Bosch will provide a full range of filtration products including oil, air, fuel and cabin filters — all of them with Volkswagen Group branded vehicle applications. There will also be brake pads, shoes and discs available to TPS customers. In addition, there is a full range of belts and kits and for the future, Bosch are also looking at adding spark and glow plugs to the range. Niterra introduces its industry leading NGK brand into the ‘Brands at TPS’ parts offering. As the world’s leading spark plug manufacturer, the company produces over 1,000 different types of spark plugs for all types of automotive engine. Alongside their market leading spark plugs, NGK’s range of glow plugs will also be available to TPS customers — a top-quality product that comes with the reassurance of a technology that Niterra has been developing since the 1960s. NGK Glow plugs are crucial for reliable engine starts, especially in cold weather, where more energy is needed due to cooler air and engine temperatures — with this standard of cold-start performance vital for technicians, particularly those servicing diesel vehicles.
