The number of electric, hybrid and hydrogen cars on the roads is growing rapidly. This also applies to the number of car manufacturers that produce them and the range of models. That is exactly why it is important to have focus on EV-parts and knowledge about a reliable source of supply. All Triscan’s products are manufactured in OE quality and our product programme covers all types of EV’s.

• MHEV - Mild-Hybrid Vehicles (MHEV) use an electric motor alongside a combustion engine, but the two power sources can’t be used independently of one another.
• HEV - A Hybrid car (HEV) is a vehicle which uses two different energy sources to maximize efficiency. This usually means combining electrical energy stored in batteries, with the combustion energy of petrol or diesel fuel.
• EREV - An Extended Range Electric Vehicle (EREV) has an auxiliary power unit (range
  extender) which increases the EREV’s driving range. Most range extenders are small combustion engines that drive an electric generator furnishing the electric batteries and motor with electricity. 
• PHEV - A Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV) or Plug-In Hybrid, uses an electric motor and gas engine to operate. Its electric motor uses batteries that are recharged by plugging it in to an electric power source. The gas-powered motor can work together with the electric motor, or separately, to power the powertrain.
• BEV - A Pure Electric, or Battery-Powered Electric Vehicle (BEV) gets all its power from its batteries and electric motors. It contains no internal combustion engine (ICE). Its electric motor uses batteries that are recharged by plugging it into an electric power source.
• FCEV - Fuel Cell Vehicles (FCEV‘s) use hydrogen to power an electric motor. Unlike
  conventional vehicles which run on gasoline or diesel, fuel cell cars and trucks utilizes hydrogen to produce electricity, which runs a motor.

The range of makes and models covered by the Triscan EV parts programme is constantly expanded. To get updated information we refer to our online catalogue TriWeb or to TecDoc, TecCom and TecCMD.

WE DO THINGS A LITTLE DIFFERENT...
We know that our sourcing process in several ways is quite special. The reason for this is that we wish to:

• Be able to offer consistent high quality
• Have a very low claim rate
• Ensure that Triscan parts are manufactured under proper conditions

Triscan spare parts are often manufactured by automotive subcontractors certified according to the industry’s strict quality assurance standard - IATF 16949. If a manufacturer is not certified according to IATF 16949, and there is no production of spare parts that pose a safety risk, we are satisfied with a certification according to ISO 9001.
The manufacturing of spare parts takes place world wide and especially outside Europe. There can be a big difference in the conditions under which production takes place. Even though it is both expensive and time-consuming, our product managers always visit a new manufacturer prior to establishing a collaboration. One of the benefits of such visits is that we clarify whether the  production conditions meet our requirements.

OUR OWN IN-HOUSE TESTCENTER...
Although we ensure that Triscan spare parts are subject to rigorous quality control during manufacture by our manufacturers, we do not stop here. When receiving goods, we carry out random checks of various kinds. It can for example be:

• Checking dimensions according to technical drawings
• Product comparison according to our comprehensive sample stock
• Functional or material testing in our in-house test center
• Tests conducted by independent external institutes

Our in-house testcenter plays a major role in development, quality assurance and complaints handling.
