Delphi's AAPEX booth (A5027) is packed with the nearly 500 new parts they launched throughout 2023. Jenna Boone, the vice president and general manager of North America Aftermarket for Delphi, expressed their excitement to showcase their expanding product range, but the expansion doesn't stop at just new products. They are also offering increased training opportunities to support the aftermarket repair industry.
Boone, along with Delphi's Marketing Director, Lou Kafantaris noted that these new training opportunities are made to meet the market's needs and fill any gaps that may be present in the industry.
What's new?
Delphi's recently revealed the addition of 104 new parts to their portfolio in the fourth quarter. However in total, in 2023, they introduced 496 parts across various categories, such as:
- Fuel management — This line added 53 parts and covers 38 million vehicles in operation (VIO) in the U.S. and Canada.
- Vehicle electronics — This line gained 211 new parts, including ABS wheel speed sensors and manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensors. It covers over 261 million VIO in the U.S. and Canada.
- Steering and suspension — This line expanded by 167 parts to include alignment parts and represents more than 135 million in VIO coverage for the U.S. and Canada.
- The Sparta fuel line — This line handles earlier model vehicles with higher mileage and received 65 new parts in eight different part types.
With all these new parts added to their line-up, Boone explained that much of the inspiration for the new additions comes from the conversations they have with technicians and distributors telling them what they need.
