Delphi reconfirmed as The Parts Alliance preferred supplier

The Parts Alliance announced Delphi’s reconfirmation as its preferred supplier of premium braking systems in June. Steve Fulford reasoned that Delphi is “strategically best positioned for our distribution network and more than 20,000 customers. As a leading supplier to the top 25 vehicle manufacturers worldwide, Delphi’s established presence on the OE platform and their expertise complement our future strategies. Not only will we have access to their high quality parts but also training and support services to deliver the most comprehensive solution to our customers.”

“This is just the beginning of what I hope to be a long, multi-faceted collaboration with The Parts Alliance,” Lúcia Veiga Moretti responded. “We are excited to have the opportunity to service their distribution network and customers, and look forward to further product and service opportunities that complement their business strategy.”

Delphi braking parts are added monthly covering European, Asian and German applications. Across these markets, the company claims coverage of 98.5 per cent of applications. Focusing on OE standards in terms of aesthetics and performance, Delphi undertakes regular independent testing on its braking products together with OEMs, particularly on stopping distances and performance in various weather and road conditions.

DPSS also conducts strict laboratory and dynamometer analysis, as well as real-world testing including Alpine and high speed trials, to help produce durable, safe and long-lasting braking parts. DPSS brake pads conform to European R90 braking regulations as a minimum.

Additionally, DPSS runs a diagnostics and training programme that The Parts Alliance says will prepare its members for increasingly complex diesel, vehicle electronics, thermal, steering & suspension, and braking systems now coming to market. The training curriculum includes hands-on training at its Warwick Training, online webinars and more than 150 Learning Management System courses.

The DPSS DS suite of tools offers The Parts Alliance a comprehensive range of diagnostic software platforms to service all makes light-, medium- and heavy-duty vehicles. This platform flexibility, from DS150 to DS350 to rugged tablets, not only addresses all makes coverage, but includes a complete service solution including free one day training, ongoing software updates and dedicated hotline support.
