Mahle, the global supplier with products for combustion engines and their peripherals as well as solutions for electric vehicles, has received the Volvo Group’s 2016 Supplier Award in the category of ‘Innovation and Fuel Efficiency’. This is the manufacturer’s recognition for Mahle’s innovative strength and systems expertise in commercial vehicles.

Volvo highlighted the Mahle Monoweld steel piston — the essential element in the power cell unit (PCU) — as an example of permanent contribution toward fuel efficiency. This two-piece, friction-welded piston, which has been used at Volvo since the launch of Euro 6 engines, is perfectly tuned for interaction with the other components in the PCU supplied by Mahle as a complete system. Mahle says it uses this holistic systems approach as an essential lever to achieve further gains in fuel efficiency.

Mahle supplies air-conditioning systems, engine cooling systems, and cylinder head cover systems with integrated oil mist separation, in addition to the PCU for commercial vehicles from the Volvo Group bearing the names Volvo (Trucks), Renault Trucks, Mack, and UD.

This year, Volvo recognised a total of 11 suppliers in six different categories that represent the strategic goals of the Volvo Group. The awards were presented at a celebration in Gothenburg/Sweden on February 23.
