Designed to meet the demands of busy modern automotive workshops, the SVL-D50 combines advanced technology with practical innovation and has a rated maximum lifting capacity of 5,000kg. Snap-on said the lowpost and clear floor design is perfect for spaceconstrained workshops, while also benefiting a wide variety of workshop environments. This design simplifies vehicle positioning, improves access to undercar components, and integrates seamlessly with essential equipment such as battery lifts and transmission jacks, enhancing the workflow for servicing and repair tasks. Kumho has welcomed an ‘exemplary’ rating award for its ECSTA PS71 summer tyre. The rating was earned in (itals) AutoBild’s 2025 Summer Tyre Test for 225/40R18, securing fourth place for its outstanding performance in dry and the best result in wet conditions of the tested tyres. The German automotive publication tested 52 summer tyres as part of its annual evaluation. Kumho said its tyre was the only one to receive the highest possible score of ‘1’ in the wet handling category, confirming its superiority in grip and control under challenging conditions. Testers also praised the PS71’s aquaplaning resistance. Handling and braking were also highlighted as standout qualities. MANN+HUMMEL has unveiled its latest ‘natureinspired’ filter technology as the global filtration expert accelerates its drive for greater sustainability. The new MANN-FILTER comprises plant-based raw materials, is made using renewable energy, and is packaged in sustainable, recycled material. Filters with cellulose media have previously been impregnated with fossilbased phenolic resin, which provides stability, rigidity, and chemical resistance. However, MANN+HUMMEL said it has now partially replaced this crude oil-based treatment with the plant-based raw material lignin, a natural product contained in wood. The technology is initially being used in selected MANN-FILTER air and oil filters — but more filters will follow. As a result, MANN+HUMMEL said it is reducing the CO2 footprint of the relevant lignin impregnation during production by up to 5% compared to regular phenolic resin impregnation.
