Schaeffler announced its LuK TorCon torque converter product line has expanded with the release of the LuK 8L90 TorCon. The company said the 8L90 TorCon is engineered to outperform rebuilt alternatives up to five times longer.
Replacement Process and In-House Manufacturing
Designed to streamline the replacement process, the LuK 8L90 TorCon eliminates the need for model-specific cores that are typically required in torque converter rebuilding. The 8L90 TorCon is in stock and ready for installation.

Featuring LuK friction materials and INA premium thrust bearings, the LuK TorCon is engineered to withstand extreme operating conditions. Its fully furnace-brazed fins improve heat dissipation, reduce wear, and enhance long-term durability. The contamination-free manufacturing process includes 100% pressure and lockup testing, along with precision balancing, according to the company.
Applications and VIO
The LuK TorCon product line supports a broad range of applications for passenger cars and pickup trucks. Schaeffler said its expertise in manufacturing OE torque converters allows it to capture several applications through a single SKU.
The TorCon (TC0020) is compatible with select 2015 to 2022 General Motors trucks, vans and SUVs equipped with 8L90 transmissions. It covers multiple engines and has a current VIO of over 700,000, offering versatility when choosing a new torque converter.

link hidden, please login to view added ignition coils to its Engine Efficiency lineup, introducing a system-critical component tied to engine performance and emissions control. The launch follows a collaboration with
link hidden, please login to view, a manufacturer of aftermarket and OE components with 19 facilities across 11 countries. The partnership supports sourcing, engineering and manufacturing scale for the global independent aftermarket. Market Impact and Demand Outlook
Despite the continued growth of electrification, internal combustion engine vehicles are expected to dominate the European car parc for decades. With an average vehicle age of more than 13 years and ICE vehicles projected to represent the majority of the fleet in 2035, ignition coils remain a high-replacement component with sustained demand.
The Nissens ignition coil range targets long-term aftermarket needs for current and upcoming vehicle models and will be expanded on a rolling basis, the company said.
Manufacturing and Quality Standards
Production is carried out in-house and in European-based facilities certified to ISO and IATF 16949 standards. Processes include materials validation, performance testing and lifespan verification to support reliable ignition performance in harsh operating conditions.
Select coil models include targeted engineering changes to address known OE and aftermarket failure modes, with the goal of longer service life and stable combustion.
Range and Coverage
More than 230 item numbers More than 1,000 OE references More than 65% European car parc coverage All major coil types are included: standard, pencil, coil-on-plug (COP), rail and block.
Distribution Strategy and Aftermarket Support
The line is positioned for distributors seeking broad vehicle coverage, complete product data and consistent availability. For service facilities, the design focuses on installation reliability to support first-time repairs and stable workshop throughput.
“Nissens Ignition Coil fully supports the aftermarket’s needs. It is a product designed, manufactured, and tested to secure excellent engine ignition performance. The design solutions we developed for specific models make our coil unique and bring it beyond the known market standards for the component’s performance and longevity. With this launch, we again prove Nissens’ dedication to supporting the aftermarket with solutions that combine technical excellence, market relevance, and customer value,”
said Laerke Louise Vexborg, product category manager, Nissens Automotive.
Product Development and Technical Features
Ignition performance across critical parameters — including higher spark energy, extended discharge duration and proper impedance — to support long service life, stable ignition and combustion efficiency. Design measures to reduce stress on internal components. Moisture-repellent features to limit failures from moisture ingress. Premium-grade materials in key components for durability and performance.
