MEYLE marks 25th anniversary of truck solutions with new MEYLE-ORIGINAL-NOx sensor
Hamburg, 24 June 2020. Commercial vehicles are subject to exceptionally high stress levels: they must carry heavy loads across long distances. Designed with durability in mind, MEYLE spare parts are an excellent choice to meet these challenges. MEYLE truck experts have been taking care of the heavy vehicles on the world's roads, dealing with quality testing, sales and development of MEYLE truck parts – for more than 25 years now.
In line with the 25th anniversary of MEYLE spare parts for trucks, MEYLE is now adding the MEYLE-ORIGINAL-NOx sensor to its range. This sensor complements the truck electronics range and ensures the best possible performance under extreme loads. The MEYLE ORIGINAL-NOx sensor supports optimum exhaust gas aftertreatment and thus enables compliance with the strict emission values from Euro 5. Non-compliance may lead to the expiry of the operating licence.
The MEYLE-ORIGINAL-NOx-Sensor measures the nitrogen oxide (NOx) content of the exhaust gases before and after the so-called SCR-catalyst (Selective Catalytic Reduction). The SCR catalytic converter converts the harmful nitrogen oxides into harmless nitrogen and water by adding the urea solution AdBlue. At the same time, the MEYLE-ORIGINAL-NOx-Sensor enables the optimum dosage of AdBlue by the engine management system and thus an effective reduction of nitrogen oxides which are harmful to the environment and health.
Defective NOx sensors can have far-reaching consequences for the operation of the vehicle, such as temporary or permanent engine emergency running, exceeding exhaust gas limits and increased AdBlue consumption. Another possible consequence is a high ammonia content in the exhaust gases, which can lead to corrosion of the entire exhaust system and high environmental pollution.
To ensure the best possible performance the MEYLE-ORIGINAL-NOx sensor, like all MEYLE products, has been developed according to strict MEYLE quality standards and stringent OE requirements and has been thoroughly tested for functionality and durability.

The MEYLE Truck Team has been taking care of the giants of the road for 25 years now, putting its extensive know-how into the development and manufacturing of truck parts.
With technically optimized products such as MEYLE-HD coupling rods and tie rod ends for trucks or the further developed MEYLE-PD brake pads, vehicles with MEYLE parts simply stay on the road longer. With MEYLE kits such as the MEYLE-ORIGINAL multi-ribbed belt kits for trucks, users save time and money. We test the quality of the parts under the toughest conditions: MEYLE develops and tests truck parts in cooperation with the FIA ETRC Truck Sport Teams.
FIA ETRC Digital Racing Challenge: Truck Racing at home
In order to be able to test and further develop quality and resilience even under extreme conditions, the Hamburg-based manufacturer has been involved in FIA ETRC Truck Racing since 2014. MEYLE will continue to support the team around MAN driver Sascha Lenz as a technical cooperation partner in the 2020 racing season.
Due to the current situation, sporting competitions were prohibited, so that the starting signal for the ETRC season has been delayed. In order to shorten the race-free time for motor sport fans worldwide, the European Truck Racing Association has launched the "ETRC Digital Racing Challenge", an online-based racing series with a total of eight race weekends. Truck driver Sascha Lenz and his partner MEYLE already had every reason to celebrate: in the first races of the digital season the German truck driver finished second and third! The next round of the ETRC Digital Racing Challenge will take place on June 28 at digital Nürburgring and will be broadcast live globally across ETRC’s social media platforms including the official YouTube channel, Facebook page, Twitch and the official website.
