UFI Filters, a leading filtration, thermal management and hydrogen mobility company, has continued to make the heavy-duty Aftermarket one of its key priorities in 2024. The company has significantly expanded its heavy-duty filter ranges, announcing 78 major new additions for a wide range of vehicles in the past year.

Of the 78 introductions made in 2024, 67 of them were for the off-road sector and 11 for the truck and bus markets. They included five new oil filters, eight fuel filters, seven air filters, six cabin filters (off-road), 51 hydraulic circuit oil filters and one water filter (trucks). Thanks to these additions, UFI's range of filters for the heavy-duty Aftermarket is now more complete than ever before, with more than 1,400 part numbers for on- and off-road use.

In the last three years alone, from 2022 to 2024 inclusive, the number of new UFI heavy-duty Aftermarket references has been considerable, totalling 466 introductions, of which 371 were off-road and 95 for trucks.

The expansions underline how UFI Filters’ Aftermarket customers benefit from the company’s extensive, year-on-year investments in the heavy-duty Aftermarket sector; and from UFI Group's original equipment experience, supplying filters for 50 per cent of global heavy goods vehicle production.

Among UFI Group's most recent successes in heavy-duty original equipment is the supply of the new filtration module for FPT Industrial's Cursor XC13 engine, FPT’s top-of-the-line truck engine. UFI also developed the oil filter for one of the most popular heavy-duty truck engines, Daimler Truck AG's HDEP (Heavy-Duty Engine Platform) OM471 for Mercedes-Benz Truck applications.

In fact, the oil filter cartridge specifically designed for the latter OE application is just one of the recent additions to UFI Filters’ heavy-duty Aftermarket catalogue. The company’s other established manufacturer partnerships also include Weichai, MAN, Iveco and, in the off-road sector, New Holland, FPT and SAME Deutz-Fahr.

UFI Heavy Duty filters are available from UFI stockists nationwide.
