Nissens Automotive believes that with the environment and related issues in the sights of global governments, there is a collective responsibility to ensure that all ICEs are operating to optimum efficiency. Central to this objective is the exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) system, which actively reduces the emissions that these engines naturally produce.
As with every component, due to either natural wear or the effects of other faults that occur within the engine’s systems, over time their performance reduces, so they or their associated parts will need to be replaced. This is where we are able to provide you with a premium-quality aftermarket solution.
Nissens is a highly respected aftermarket supplier, and as part of our ongoing development strategy, we continue to establish a solid footprint within the green automotive systems sector, which seeks to reduce the environmental impact of the ICE. We, therefore, offer a wide range of components within our efficiency and emissions product group, which now consists of not only EGR valves, modules and coolers, but also intercoolers and turbochargers, as well as a throttle body offering.
This means that factors supplying products from us can now benefit from being able to source a comprehensive range of EGR parts from a single supplier and under a brand that instils confidence with professional installers across Europe.
EGRs have “high rates of failure”
As VMs strive to limit the impact that the ICE has on the environment, the majority of new vehicles are equipped with an EGR system, which subsequently provides opportunities for the aftermarket, particularly as due to how they are driven and the quality of the fuel they use, result in a high rate of failures and, consequently, a growing demand for replacement components.
Therefore, we are looking to strengthen our position, with the ongoing aim of assisting technicians to successfully service and repair these vehicles and by providing you with a wide range of premium quality components to allow them to do so.
As mentioned earlier, reported EGR system-related problems are increasing and a fault with the valve, for example, can lead to severe OBD errors. This can result in the engine being set to ‘limp mode’ and may provoke failures in other parts of the system. Common reasons for EGR system failure include unclean combustion, frequent short-distance travel patterns, excessive thermal stress and moisture/contamination of the fuel.
As a further reassurance, in common with the rest of the products in the Nissens range, all of our EGR system components are characterised by excellent product quality to allow them to conform to our genuine Nissens quality standards. These benchmarks include undergoing a wide variety of tests, carried out both internally and externally, and incorporate many design and material improvements that contribute to their high thermal performance and overall durability.
Replicate performance and fitment of the OE
Collectively, our EGR system components are premium aftermarket products that replicate the performance and fitment of the OE component to provide an extended, trouble-free function in the harsh conditions to which they are exposed, resulting from the frequent temperature and pressure fluctuations within the exhaust system.
A further benefit comes with our first fit concept, which, in common with every component in the range, means that whenever extra parts are needed for a EGR cooler’s correct installation, for example, these are automatically included in the box, not only making them easy to install, but also adding to their sales appeal.
The entire engine efficiency and emissions programme now encompasses EGR valves, modules and coolers, turbochargers and oil feed lines, intercoolers and a throttle body range, and consists of 1,403 individual products, catering for more than 7,600 OE part numbers and serving the majority of the European PC/LCV parc. Factors already supplying our parts will be aware of the wide ranging additional technical support the company provides and that makes the difference for those in partnership with us. A broad spectrum of technical information, from training modules and videos to best practice procedures and product information, is available through the Nissens Experts portal, which provides a further sales tool.
