Schaeffler will be looking to the future with a range of innovative mixed and augmented reality exhibits when Automechanika Frankfurt opens its doors in September.

Schaeffler is tempting visitors to its 1,000sqm stand (Hall 0, Stand A01) by inviting them on a tour of the ‘garage of tomorrow’. To illustrate how technicians could be working in the future, a team of Schaeffler REPXPERTs will guide visitors through a LuK dual mass flywheel replacement and an INA timing chain overhaul, all carried out live on-stand and in real-time using interactive support.

Schaeffler will also unveil its latest ‘glass car’ concept, in line with the ‘Tomorrow’s Service and Mobility’ theme at this year’s Automechanika. This new exhibit highlights around 40 Schaeffler products and technologies, including the e-clutch, intelligent anti-roll control stabiliser, thermal management module and electric axle.

Another attraction will be the appearance at Automechanika of Mike ‘Rocky’ Rockenfeller’s Schaeffler-sponsored Audi Sport Team Phoenix RS5 DTM car which will be on display outside Hall 0.

Schaeffler REPXPERTs will also be working at five workstations, all fitted with tablets directly linked to the REPXPERT website. Visitors will be given a personal, step-by-step tour of how to maximise the benefits of REPXPERT in their workshop, whilst also developing their knowledge of LuK transmission, INA engine and FAG safety critical chassis systems.
