Head of Logistics

Thermal and Fluid Systems

The former business units “Filtration and Engine Peripherals” and “Thermal Management” have been merged into the new business unit “Thermal and Fluid Systems”. This integration allows the thermal management segment to leverage MAHLE’s long-standing production competencies as well as capacities in the filter and engine peripherals business, strengthening its ability to bring competitive, future-oriented technologies to the market. MAHLE remains fully committed to advancing thermal management and aims to drive continued growth in this key area.

As powertrains become increasingly electrified, the demand for innovative thermal management solutions is growing—particularly for batteries and the entire electric powertrain. MAHLE stands as a technological pioneer when it comes to the thermal management of batteries. Our solutions ensure consistent operating temperatures and uniform distribution of temperature across battery cells.

Today, MAHLE is one of the world's leading original equipment manufacturers, developing and producing cooling and air conditioning systems, as well as complete thermal management solutions for a wide range of applications—from passenger cars and commercial vehicles to off-highway mobile and stationary machinery.

Further, to increase efficiency, extend service life, and reduce emissions, MAHLE manufactures filters, pump systems as well as oil coolers for engine and transmission applications. These technologies ensure clean air and prevent contamination in oil and fuel systems—critical not only for combustion engines but also for reliable operation of fuel cell systems.
