The addition of Carbon Zapp test and diagnostic equipment, strengthens Carwood’s existing portfolio and provides exciting growth opportunities for the aftermarket

With Carbon Zapp’s innovative solutions, workshops can quickly and accurately diagnose, test and repair current and future fuel systems, helping to save time and money, whilst still delivering a quality repair

Birmingham, 15 March 2023: Leading remanufacturer, Carwood, is extending its fuel systems programme as the newly appointed distributor for Carbon Zapp in the UK and Eire. Under the agreement, Carwood will sell and support its full range of innovative test and diagnostic equipment for all makes of diesel and petrol systems. Alongside new, reman and repair parts programmes, and expert technical support, its customers can access everything they need for a quick, high quality and profitable repair on today’s latest fuel technology.

“We are delighted to be partnering with Carbon Zapp,” explains Simon Quantrell, Deputy Managing Director, Carwood. “The addition of another flagship brand to our ever-growing fuel line-up, demonstrates our commitment to provide the highest quality, user-friendly and time-saving products and services – all geared to making our customer’s jobs easier. With Carbon Zapp equipment, workshops will be able to quickly and accurately diagnose, test and repair a full range of high-tech fuel systems, freeing up valuable labour and bench time and increasing shop throughput and profits.”

The new programme features Carbon Zapp’s full line-up of test benches, diagnostic equipment and tooling. This includes its latest generation MTBR-X, a standalone bench with embedded cloud-based technology, that allows extremely fast, high pressure testing up to 3000Bar, for all makes of diesel and petrol systems. Its ITB.4R-X, a dedicated diesel injector bench, capable of testing all technologies, including Euro 6 systems.

New-to-range fuel pumps, injectors and turbochargers and enhanced service support provide business growth opportunities for the aftermarket on late-model vehicles

Coventry, 26 January 2023: Leading OE-approved remanufacturer, Carwood, strengthened its offering in 2022, with significant new-to-range introductions, new programmes from Bosch, Garrett and Mitsubishi and the launch of its online catalogue and ordering platform. With equally ambitious plans in place for the coming year, Carwood is well positioned to ensure distributors and garages have access to the right, high-quality, yet affordable, parts and services they need to service the very latest vehicles.

The right, sustainable parts, sooner
As both the industry, and consumer preferences, continue to evolve, Carwood has stepped up its new-to-range introductions. Last year the company launched more than 1,400 Carwood remanufactured parts across its wide-ranging aftermarket portfolio of diesel and petrol fuel injection systems, turbochargers and DPF cleaning for car, light commercial, heavy duty and off-highway applications.

For fuel, important new-to-range reman units covered late models for Audi A3/Q2, Citroën Relay, Seat Ibiza/Leon, Skoda Octavia and Volkswagen Crafter/Golf/Polo/Transporter. On the turbo side, highlights included Audi A1/A3/A4, BMW 1/2/3 Series/X1/X2, Citroën C3/C4, Ford C-MAX/Kuga/Transit, Hyundai i30/i40, Kia Ceed/Sportage, Peugeot 208/308/Expert/Partner, Seat Ibiza/Leon, Skoda Octavia, Volkswagen Golf/Polo and Volvo V40, with a growing range for commercial vehicles, as well as hybrid applications, such as BMW 5/7 Series/X3/X4, Hyundai Tucson and Mercedes Benz A Class.

“Driven by increasingly environmentally and cost-conscious consumers, demand for remanufactured products has surged in recent years. Over the past 12 months we have invested heavily in new facilities, equipment, and people to make sure we are able to keep apace with this growth, and can continue to deliver the proven-quality, eco- and wallet-friendly solutions that our customers expect,” says Simon Quantrell, deputy managing director, Carwood.

A choice of service solutions with new parts distribution
Last year, Carwood also added a number of flagship brands to its portfolio. Whilst remanufacturing is still its core business, the company now distributes a full Bosch programme for diesel and GDi, including OE new and eXchange units and repair components – adding more than 3,400 parts to its range. Amongst this were popular recent applications such as Audi A4/Q5, Dacia Duster/Logan, Mercedes Benz A/B/CLS/E/G/S Class, Nissan NV250/NV300/Qashqai/X-Trail and Renault Captur/Clio/Kadjar/Kangoo/Megane/Scenic/Trafic.

In addition to its existing BorgWarner programme, Carwood became an authorised reseller of both Garrett and Mitsubishi turbochargers. It sells and supports more than 950 Garrett OE references, including a performance line designed especially for racing enthusiasts, and over 200 Mitsubishi units.

“Now more than ever, our customers want choice,” explains Quantrell. “With new, exchange and repair solutions from some of the leading OEMs, on top of our own OE-approved remanufactured range, aftermarket companies can access a choice of high-quality, competitively priced solutions, tailored to their customer’s needs. For example, a new OE unit, sometimes the only viable option for the latest generation technology, a more cost- and eco-friendly exchange unit, or the spare parts for an even more economical repair on diesel vehicles.”

New online platform makes ordering from Carwood even easier
To help its customers identify the right parts, for the right vehicle repair, the company also launched a new online catalogue. Available at www.carwoodecat.co.uk, the intuitive platform provides quick and easy access to the very latest cataloguing data and product information for its aftermarket range. Furthermore, Carwood account holders can use the tool to access live stock feeds, pricing and place both next-day and stock orders, 24/7.

Quantrell continues: “We know our customers are stretched for time, so we want to make it is even easier for them to work with us. The new platform is part of our ongoing commitment to provide aftermarket companies with the most up-to-date tools to help them run and grow their business.”

More opportunities in 2023
“Last year was very much about making sure we had the right foundations in place,” concludes Quantrell. “2023 is all about building on that momentum and helping our customers seize those opportunities. Planned launches this year include remanufactured turbos and fuel system repair for Euro 6 and other late-model applications, an enhanced test and diagnostic equipment offering, new capabilities for hybrid and electric vehicles, an online warranty portal, improved technical support and brand-new advertising campaign.”

At this year’s Automechanika Frankfurt, Carwood will demonstrate how it’s helping distributors and garages service current and future vehicles, with a range of OE-quality, eco- and cost-friendly products

Coventry, 29 June 2022: Carwood will be showcasing its expanded aftermarket portfolio of green solutions at Automechanika Frankfurt, hall 3.1, stand J92, between 13-17 September 2022. With sustainability one of the core themes of this year’s exhibition, the OE-approved remanufacturer will demonstrate how its products, including fuel systems, turbochargers, DPF cleaning and rewound motors, are helping to save raw materials, energy and waste to landfill, and customers money, without compromising on the quality of the product.

“As vehicles become much more fuel-efficient and cleaner, the technologies required to maintain the high levels of performance on the road are evolving quickly,” explains Simon Quantrell, Deputy Managing Director, Carwood. “As an OE-approved remanufacturer, we work closely with both the vehicle, engine and OE manufacturers to keep pace with these advances and deliver products that are proven to perform in the real world, just like the OE – sometimes even better. Yet because we reuse the core, we can save up to 70 percent of the resources and consume around 85 percent less energy versus new, making it better for the environment and our customer’s wallets.”

A full range of its remanufactured fuel pumps and injectors covering all makes and models of vehicle, including car, Euro 6 commercial vehicle and Tier 3 off-highway applications, will be on display. It will also showcase its expanded range of Bosch products with Bosch new, eXchange and spare parts for diesel and petrol vehicles. Alongside, Carwood will feature some of its popular remanufactured turbochargers, plus new units, as an authorised reseller of Garrett and BorgWarner product.

With the shift towards electrification, Carwood will also explain how it is evolving its product line to include capabilities for hybrid and electric vehicles. Although not yet commercially available, this will include a programme of rewound motors for electric vehicles, providing another cost-effective, convenient and environmentally friendly service option. A rewound pump motor will be available on the stand showing the highly skilled, labour intensive and intricate work that goes into rewinding components by hand.

“Although diesel- and petrol-powered vehicles are still, and will be for years to come, the core of our business, we are committed to supporting a fast-growing service opportunity for hybrid and electric vehicles too. Our forthcoming rewound electric motor programme is just one part of our plan to serve both current and future technology. This will ensure we are perfectly positioned to grow with our customers, on their own journey to electrification,” explains Quantrell.

Finally, the company will promote its high-performance products for competition, classic and specialist road cars. Sold under its Carwood Brise brand, the range includes some of the industries’ most compact, lightest and powerful starters and alternators, uprated high-pressure fuel pumps that require no additional modifications to the engine wiring loom and hydraulic connections, and a new range of performance Garrett turbochargers. Whilst arguably more powerful than their road driven counterparts, the programme reinforces the company’s commitment to high performance standards throughout its entire portfolio.

Carwood’s high-performance products and branding will feature in and on the team’s MINI Cooper cars throughout the 2022 Trophy series.

Coventry, 23 May 2022: Leading remanufacturer and motorsport specialist, Carwood, is partnering with LDR Performance Tuning in this season’s Quaife MINI CHALLENGE Trophy. Under the agreement, Carwood’s high-performance parts, including starters, alternators, fuel pumps and turbochargers will be installed on both the LDR Performance MINI Cooper race fleet, and other road cars, via LDR’s tuning business. The Carwood branding will also feature heavily on Irish racers, Brendan and Mick Fitzgerald’s MINIs, as well as the rest of the team’s Trophy line-up, giving the company another high-profile platform to promote its brand.

“We’ve been supplying factory-owned and independent race teams for overs 40 years, so we’re thrilled to be getting behind the wheel, figuratively speaking, with another class outfit, in LDR Performance and the Fitzgerald brothers,” comments Simon Quantrell, Deputy Managing Director, Carwood. “The opening rounds at Pembrey, earlier this month, proved what an exciting and competitive grid the MINI CHALLENGE Trophy has in place, and we can’t wait to be part of the action for the rest of the year.”

“We’re equally excited to be joining forces with Carwood,” adds Lawrence Davey, Team Owner, LDR Performance Tuning. “We worked with Carwood at the back end of last season, and it quickly became apparent that they share the same winning mentality as us, and our drivers. With their products – some of the best in the industry – and support for our drivers, we’re looking forward to shifting up a gear and getting the max out of the cars in every race.”

Under its performance brand, Carwood Brise, formerly Brise Motorsport, the company designs and hand-builds some of the most powerful, smallest and lightest starting and charging solutions for classic, competition and specialist road cars. More recently it has added uprated, high-pressure fuel pumps and turbochargers to its range. These parts will be fitted over the course of the 2022 championship to the team’s MINI Coopers, ensuring it is able to compete at the top of its game. Similarly, LDR will install and distribute Carwood parts via its car tuning, tyre and performance upgrade shop based in East Sussex.

The MINI CHALLENGE Trophy features an expanded calendar with 20 races, held over 7 meetings, including three hosted by the British Touring Car Championship, one by Britcar, and new for 2022, three as part of the British Truck Racing Championship. In addition to large crowds trackside, coverage will be broadcast live through social media and on ITV4.

With Bosch new, eXchange and repair parts, Carwood can now offer a full-service solution for today’s diesel- and petrol-powered vehicles

By accessing OE parts, tools and know-how from one supplier, aftermarket companies can save time and money, whilst improving customer satisfaction

Birmingham, 9 May 2022: Leading remanufacturer and fuel systems expert, Carwood, is expanding its service offering with Bosch distribution for the UK and Eire. From this month, Carwood will supply a full programme of Bosch fuel pumps, injectors and spare parts for diesel and petrol vehicles. The extended range, which includes Bosch new, Bosch eXchange and repair components, complements Carwood’s existing line-up of authorised solutions, diagnostic tools, test equipment and technical support. Meaning that aftermarket companies can now access everything they need to deliver a best practice, competitive service on a large vehicle parc, from Carwood.

“With more than 23 million diesel- and petrol-powered vehicles on the UK’s roads equipped with a Bosch injection system, the Bosch parc represents a significant service opportunity for aftermarket companies,” comments Simon Quantrell, Deputy Managing Director, Carwood. “To help them take advantage of this, they can now get the specialist equipment, parts and know-how they need from one supplier – us – helping to improve productivity, profitability and customer satisfaction.”

As part of its one-stop-shop solution, Carwood have added more than 475 Bosch new and eXchange units for diesel and GDi, and over 1,250 OE spare parts, such as nozzles, valves and rail pressure sensors for diesel car, light commercial, heavy duty and off-highway applications. It also offers a wide range of OE diagnostic tools and test equipment, as well as the ability to diagnose, service and recode pumps and injectors in-house. For a best-practice vehicle repair, a technical hotline manned by experienced professionals, offers technicians on-the-job guidance on all fuel system related issues.

Quantrell continues, “The choice of Bosch new, Bosch eXchange and repair parts, means that service professionals can offer their customers a range of competitively priced solutions, without compromising on the quality of the product or their service. For example, a more economical repair for older diesel vehicles, where maintenance costs are often disproportionately high compared to their value, or a new or eXchange unit, where speed is a priority. Although new is still the only viable option for GDi, by differentiating their offering, and giving customers a choice of options tailored to their needs, aftermarket companies can stand out from the competition. In a fast-paced market, with increasingly discerning customers, this is a must for any business looking to grow.”

The sponsorship gives Carwood a platform to promote its portfolio of high-performance, competition starters, alternators and batteries under the Carwood Brise name.

Coventry, 1 July 2021: Carwood is excited to announce a new sponsorship deal with up-and-coming racer, Tom Rawlings. Following successful spells in karting, rallying and more recently the Monoposto and Mini Challenge UK, the talented young driver is competing in his first season in GT racing with Paddock Motorsport – a new team founded by British GT Champions Martin Plowman and Kelvin Fletcher.

Since the industrial revolution, the pace of technological innovation has continued to accelerate, none more so than in the 21st century. As consumers, we now have access to an unimaginable array of products from all over the world at affordable prices. From the latest generation smart devices and the software installed on them, to internet-connected home appliances, autonomous vehicles and more – these products have transformed our day-to-day lives, giving us access to information at the touch of a button and home comforts that we’d never dreamed of.

But all this has come at a cost. Natural resources are declining. CO2 emissions are increasing. And so we can ill afford to keep using valuable natural resources to make products, use them and then ultimately throw them away when we’re done.

Instead, we must think carefully about how we make products, what we use to make them and what we do with any material afterwards. And that’s where remanufacturing comes into play – the core of our business and what we like to think of the ultimate form of recycling. By keeping existing materials and resources in the production cycle, minimising both the use of new ones and the disposal of old ones, we can transition away from an economy that effectively takes, makes and wastes into one that reduces, reuses, recycles and recovers, otherwise known as the 4Rs or a circular economy. Only through this will we stand a chance of meeting our climate goal targets.

Not to be confused with repairing or reconditioning, remanufacturing is a highly-engineered, multi-stage process that involves thoroughly inspecting the product, dismantling it, cleaning, replacing all wearable parts with like-for-like OE, and testing and calibrating both the individual components, and the newly built unit, to ensure that it meets OE specifications. With advanced manufacturing systems, and quality assurances built into every step, OEM-approved remanufacturers like Carwood can offer a same-as, or even better-than-new product, with warranties to match, at a fraction of the cost of OE.

But whilst quality and price are a huge plus, the biggest beneficiary is undoubtedly society and the circular economy. In retaining both the material and value added – labour, energy and processes – from the original product, remanufacturing offers a number of significant advantages for the environment:

Raw material savings: by reusing the core remanufacturing uses a lot less raw material than would otherwise be used to make new products. Indeed, it is estimated that remanufacturing can save up to 70% of the resources versus new.

Reduced energy consumption: because much of the material already exists in its final form, and therefore only a fraction of the work is required to process it, it uses a lot less energy than new too – around 85% less. World and industry wide it is thought that remanufacturing can save approximately 400 trillion BTUs of energy annually. That’s enough gasoline to run 6 million cars for a year.

Lower CO2 emissions: by reducing the demand for energy-intensive materials and processes, remanufacturing can also help to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

Less material to landfill: finally, by keeping material in use for longer, there is significantly less waste to dispose of, meaning less material ends up in landfill.

By extending the lifetime of what may have previously been an end-of-life or end-of use part, often for multiple lifecycles, remanufacturing is a vital component of the circular economy. And will be instrumental in achieving zero-waste and zero-emissions objectives, without compromising on the quality of the product.

For these reasons, most, if not every vehicle manufacturer has a remanufactured parts programme in place – Carwood supplies many of them. As well the environmental benefits, given the age and complexity of today’s vehicle’s, remanufacturing is often the only viable way automakers can ensure their parts are available throughout a vehicle’s lifetime too.

For the independent aftermarket, reman will also become an increasingly significant opportunity. With an OE quality, cost effective and sustainable product, technicians can offer their customers a genuine alternative to new, that’s both better for the environment and their wallet. And sometimes performs even better than the original part.

We call that a win-win for everyone. From the vehicle manufacturer to the motor factor, the garage to the vehicle owner. But the biggest winner of all – the environment.
