THE VEHICLE Lifetime Solutions division of motion technology company Schaeffler unveiled its first Repxpert Mobile Technical Training Van in the Philippines — only the second of its kind in Southeast Asia. The move is part of Schaeffler’s commitment to support the independent aftermarket in the region, following successful development in Thailand. The technical training van will aid independent garages with premium OEM repair information and knowledge in vehicles that are becoming increasingly complex, said the company in a release.
Vehicle Lifetime Solutions for Japan and Southeast Asia President Chatchawan Somjeen stated, “The Repxpert Mobile Training Van brings advanced knowledge and practical skills directly to the independent garages across the Philippines. It features Schaeffler’s comprehensive repairing solutions for engine systems under the INA brand, transmission systems under the LuK brand, chassis systems under the FAG brand, and maintenance solutions under Schaeffler TruPower brand.”
The Repxpert training van brings Schaeffler’s interactive learning experience directly to garage mechanics and offers hands-on exposure to real-world repair solutions. “Guided by expert technical trainers, participants can deepen their practical knowledge, stay current with the latest technologies, and enhance their service capabilities. This initiative not only empowers mechanics to grow professionally but also strengthens community ties, helping garages build greater trust and loyalty among their customers,” reported Schaeffler.
Schaeffler Philippines Country Manager Jay Durante said that the move is also an investment in Filipino talent. “This mobile platform gives our local mechanics access to real-world training and trusted OEM solutions, helping them stay competitive in a fast-changing market. It’s a testament to Schaeffler’s belief in empowering the independent workshop community and supporting sustainable growth in the Philippines’ automotive aftermarket sector,” he averred.
The Repxpert garage portal and mobile application additionally serve as a digital hub for independent workshops. It offers easy access to detailed technical information, repair solutions, and support for Schaeffler’s product brands.
