WITH FIRST LINE MAHLE Ozone PRO: no chance for germs, viruses, or odours The New sanitizing unit from MAHLE uses ozone to provide hygienic sanitation and protection against infection in vehicle cabins. The unit is fully automated and notifies the user when the disinfection is finished, and the entire process can be controlled and monitored externally with the associated O3-Easy app. Once the sanitization process has been completed, a disinfection report can be printed for the customer if necessary. The MAHLE OzonePRO is also being offered as the O3-NEX under the BRAIN BEE sales brand. www.mahle-aftermarket.com Dayco: NTR kits Dayco has introduced a number of timing belt kits.

The biocidal formula is designed to kill enveloped viruses, such as Coronavirus and MRSA, and is suitable for use on all services, including leather and clothes. The mist machine heats up the sanitising liquid and produces a fine dry mist, leaving no wet residue, so it is ready to instantly drive away. Technicians simply need to run the machine for just five minutes and allow the dry mist to settle for a further 25 minutes, meaning the vehicle should be free from bacteria and viruses within half an hour. www.ringautomotive.com Absolute Alignment: Bluetooth 3D Absolute Alignment's Bluetooth 3D can align cars with much lower ride heights than traditional aligners. Eschewing the traditional 3D ‘tower’, it leaves plenty of space in front of a ramp to allow for ADAS calibration equipment, helping you to create a new profit centre and future proof your business at the same time. As more cars develop ADAS working on the rear axle, the Bluetooth 3D is one of very few aligners that can cope with the new technology. The system is also portable between ramps for increased flexibility in a busy workshop, and offers vehicle registration look-up and faster set-up times. www.absolutealignment.co.uk
