Schaeffler said it has expanded its portfolio of repair solutions for electric drivetrains, making new repair kits for e-axles, electric motors and transmissions available for additional battery-electric vehicle models from major automakers.
Effective immediately, the repair kits cover a broader range of common electric vehicle platforms, including the Hyundai Ioniq AE-EV, Volkswagen e-Golf VII, Volkswagen e-Up, BMW i3 and the Nissan Leaf. Schaeffler said the kits are designed to help independent workshops and service centres address the growing technical demands of electric mobility.

“The repair of electric drive systems is becoming a key success factor in the aftermarket,” said Stephan Niese, Director Global Product Management E-Mobility at Schaeffler Vehicle Lifetime Solutions. “We make these repairs manageable and economical for workshops. With the right components, tools, and training, workshops can professionally and safely repair e-axles.”
The company said each kit bundles all components required for a specific repair into a single package and includes a clearly structured repair guide. The approach is intended to offer a cost-effective and more sustainable alternative to replacing complete e-axles, which can be expensive and resource-intensive.

For professional repairs, Schaeffler said all E-Axle RepSystem-M procedures can be carried out using its dedicated E-Axle Repair Tool. The specialist tool enables safe, contact-free disassembly and assembly of the rotor and stator, ensuring precise alignment and reducing the risk of abrasion that could lead to motor damage.
Alongside the hardware offering, Schaeffler Vehicle Lifetime Solutions is expanding its digital training courses and repair information under the REPXPERT service brand. The company said the initiative aims to equip workshops with the technical expertise needed to service modern electric drivetrains safely, efficiently and independently as electrification accelerates across global vehicle fleets.
