As more new energy vehicles (NEVs), which include hybrid and electric vehicles, take to the roads, more will come into the workshop for routine climate system maintenance or repair. However, the technicians undertaking this work need to be aware that they require special handling and safety procedures, as well as a deeper level of specialist knowledge to complete it successfully.

Using the thermal system as an example, many NEVs rely on a heat pump solution, which is an advanced system compared to a standard AC loop, so adds further complications.

As a result, the first thing on the wish list for independents in a busy workshop is access to reliable technical support and this is an area that Nissens excels in. The company openly shares its expertise on the AC system’s maintenance, troubleshooting and component installation. Its technical insights cover the newest technology trends and include the latest, aforementioned NEV thermal management systems. This technical support is easily accessible in various forms, from online assets to highly effective live training.

The complete range comprises more than 3,600 part numbers and offers exceptionally high car parc coverage, including 450 AC parts for NEVs. This range is constantly expanding and grew by 150 last year alone, and of these components are 40 AC system pressure sensors that cover 160 OE part numbers and high-voltage AC compressors for Tesla Model 3, Kia Niro, Hyundai Ioniq and others.
