Garrett is responding to a shift in customer needs driven by the ageing car parc, with vehicles aged 15 years and older now representing the fastest-growing segment in Europe. As the residual value of vehicles declines, owners become increasingly price-sensitive, often turning to low-cost non-OE alternatives to extend their vehicles’ lifespans. With the launch of Garrett Original MAXLIFE, Garrett says it is offering the first turbocharger solution that delivers OEM-certified quality and performance, combined with value for money. This new line of OEM-certified turbos, assembled via Garrett’s new smart component recovery process, expands the company’s portfolio across the full vehicle lifecycle.
