One scan – parts packaging gets QR code

All Mahle Original and Behr product packaging now features a QR code to allow factors and independent workshops to select the correct replacement part with just one scan.

The QR code offers direct access to the engine part manufacturer’s online catalogue and helps prevent customers from purchasing the wrong part. At a stroke it does away with the need to open the box to double check that the contents match the label.

New labelling covers Mahle Original filters, turbochargers and other engine parts, plus Mahle Behr thermostats. The code links the storeman or technician to the online catalogue and a host of practical benefits, such as product details and dimensions, fitting instructions, product-specific technical expertise and product verification, helping prevent consequential damage due to installation of incorrect parts.
