HELLA to re-enter thermal management with 1,200 parts

• Initial HELLA range of 1,200 OE-standard air conditioning and engine cooling components, with plans to expand to 6,000 parts by 2027.

• Lineup includes key items like compressors, condensers, radiator fans, and intercoolers, plus upcoming OE technologies for electric vehicles such as coolant control hubs and electronic valve actuators.

• Comprehensive support through Hella Gutmann’s advanced diagnostics and software for over 48,000 vehicle models, alongside professional training and technical resources.

HELLA is making a strong return to thermal management at Automechanika Birmingham this week (3 - 5 June), unveiling plans for an initial range of 1,200 key air conditioning and engine cooling components – expanding to 6,000 parts by 2027.

The move reinforces HELLA’s position as a full-range supplier in the automotive aftermarket and marks a significant step in bringing advanced OE technology directly to UK workshops.

“HELLA has been at the forefront of thermal management for over 20 years,” said Neil Grant, Managing Director at HELLA UK. “We’re excited to bring our OE expertise back to the aftermarket, providing garages with a comprehensive, future-ready solution they can trust.”

The new lineup includes essential components such as compressors, condensers, interior blowers, radiator fans, radiators, and intercoolers, all engineered to OE standards.

Looking further ahead, HELLA will introduce pioneering OE technologies for electric vehicles, including coolant control hubs (CCH), electronic valve actuators (eVA), and medium pumps (MPX).

“Our goal is to fully integrate thermal management with our established electronics range, comprised of everything from coolant thermostats and temperature sensors to air quality modules,” added Neil. “This approach makes it easier for workshops to source quality thermal parts and reinforces HELLA’s reputation as a trusted brand that delivers first-time fixes.”
