Garrett Motion Introduces GARRETT ORIGINAL MAXLIFE

Garrett Motion today unveiled Garrett Original MAXLIFE, a new turbocharger line designed for vehicles 15 years and older. Garrett Original MAXLIFE is available to distributors in Europe, with shipments to workshops now available.

With more than 70 years of turbocharging heritage, 1400 engineers, 6 global R&D centers, and an installed base of turbos in more than 150 million vehicles worldwide, Garrett is the industry leader in turbocharger technology and the #1 turbo brand recognized in the aftermarket. Garrett is known for performance, quality, and reliability at the highest OE standards.

Through a long-standing presence in the aftermarket and close collaboration with distributors and workshops across 165 countries, Garrett sees a clear shift in customer needs driven by the ageing car parc. In Europe, vehicles aged 15 years and older now represent the fastest-growing segment. As the residual value of vehicles declines, owners become increasingly price-sensitive, often turning to low-cost non-OE alternatives to extend vehicle life.

With the launch of Garrett Original MAXLIFE, designed for personal vehicles and light commercial vehicles up to 6 tons, Garrett is directly addressing the needs of this customer sector by offering the first turbocharger solution that delivers OEM-certified quality and performance, combined with value for money. Customers now have a trusted alternative to low-cost options.

“MAXLIFE gives workshops and drivers a dependable solution at the right price. It preserves the performance and quality people expect from the Garrett name, while offering a cost-effective answer for ageing but still hard-working vehicles,” said Eric Fraysse, President of Global Aftermarket at Garrett.
