Hella Hengst range grows with 16 NTR part numbers
Following the successful introduction of the Hella Hengst brand earlier this year and its subsequent increasing share of the UK filtration market, Hella has announced that the company will be adding 16 new-to-range (NTR) part numbers during August.

Hella Hengst cabin filters offer ‘additional profit opportunity’
Regular replacement of the cabin filter is crucial for effective operation, and as traffic on roads worldwide has increased, so has its impact on air quality. These roadside pollutants can reach a car’s driver and passengers through its ventilation or air conditioning ducts. Prolonged exposure to high pollution whilst driving is not only unpleasant; it can have a serious effect on the health of the vehicle’s occupants. Microorganisms accumulate inside the car, potentially multiplying to much higher concentrations than normal. Such a high level of bacteria inside the vehicle can lead to a range of health problems, including more serious issues like asthma and allergic reactions.
Hella Hengst’s successful introduction
Since its launch in April, Hella Hengst has been heralded a success in the aftermarket, largely due to its original equipment (OE) heritage and depth of range. In such a popular market, a new filter brand has to have a distinct offering, which is something that Hella Hengst possesses and is therefore, experiencing increasing demand.
