MANNOL looks back on a successful Automechanika 2026
Five days at the trade fair, countless conversations and many new contacts: MANNOL looks back on a successful Automechanika 2026 in Frankfurt. At the leading international trade fair for the automotive aftermarket, the company presented its broad portfolio of lubricants, operating fluids, additives, and care and service products. Personal interaction with customers and partners from a wide range of markets was at the heart of MANNOL’s presence at the show. In an interview, Managing Director Konstantin Gaab reflects on the event and shares his key impressions from Frankfurt.
Europe’s vehicle fleet is getting older: MANNOL offers suitable solutions for cars with high mileage
Cars on European roads are getting older and older. Passenger cars in the European Union now have an average age of 12.7 years. This trend also applies to Germany: here, the average age of registered passenger cars currently stands at 10.9 years – that is 1.7 years more than a decade ago*. This longer period of use presents garages and motorists with specific challenges. After all, the older the technology, the more important it is to carry out maintenance and care using the appropriate products.
Hybrid powertrains and the challenges they pose for engine oil
Hybrid powertrains present new technical challenges for engine oils due to frequent start-stop cycles, cold starts and varying load profiles. MANNOL is responding to this development with specially formulated engine oils.
