NK´s range of starters and alternators grows by 416 part numbers
BORG Automotive Newman is significantly expanding its range: 175 alternators and 241 starters are available from the NK brand for the first time. They offer distributors and workshops a deposit-free, high-quality alternative to the original part on more than 13,700 vehicle applications.
In BORG Automotive Newman’s European markets, the 416 new part numbers cover more than 130 million vehicles, 25 million in Germany alone. At the same time, the market coverage of the range is growing: After the expansion, it provides a solution for 84.3 percent of all alternators and 88.3 percent of all starters.
Produced to highest standards
Like all alternators and starters in the range, the newly added spare parts fulfil the highest quality standards: production is certified to ISO 9001:2015 and even to the strict supplier standard IATF 16949. The dimensions correspond 100 percent to the original, guaranteeing maximum accuracy of fit. All part numbers have undergone extensive functional tests during the development process, such as high-speed and high-temperature trials.
Many fast movers included
The new part numbers include frequently requested fast-moving items as well as less frequently ordered niche applications. The NK starter 4747030 for example covers more than 320 vehicle applications of all Volkswagen Group brands and fits in ten million vehicles in the NK sales area. The NK alternator 4899002 replaces the original part in around 140 Stellantis applications – a fleet comprising around 5.2 million registered vehicles. On the other hand, the NK alternator 4840016 only covers one Honda vehicle, which is encountered just around 40,000 times on the roads of Europe.
Edin Elezovic, Product Manager at BORG Automotive Newman: “Around a year and a half after its launch, our range of alternators and starters has already been well received in the market. The expansion now makes it even broader and more attractive for dealers and workshops and is a further step on our way to helping our customers help theirs.”
Elezovic continues: “Our advantage is that we not only know the spare parts that are highly relevant due to their market presence alone. As part of the BORG Automotive Group we also understand the vehicle applications that need a new alternator or starter faster than others – and can customize our range accordingly.”
The new alternators and starters from NK will be available for sale and delivery from the end of November. They come with a 2-year guarantee against manufacturing and material defects and are supplied in so-called “easy-up” packaging, which allows the product to be removed even with greasy fingers or gloves.
