They will be focusing on developing solutions for alternative drives and further expanding the company’s systems expertise in electric powertrains as well as electronics and mechatronics. It said that the new site in Changshu will play a key role as a further innovation hub for the Group’s activities in the fields of alternative drives, alongside MAHLE’s major technology centers for electronics and mechatronics in Kornwestheim (Germany), Šempeter pri Gorici (Sovenia) and Valencia (Spain).

Michael Frick, CEO of MAHLE (ad interim) and Chief Financial Officer said, “China has become a major market for MAHLE. We want to grow further here and see great potential in e-mobility, which is clearly gaining momentum in China. We therefore aim to strengthen our role as a technology partner in this region. Our new R&D center in Changshu is the latest step in implementing this strategy.”
