OPTIMAL has strengthened its support for the independent aftermarket with a re-engineered engine mounting range that reflects the evolving technical and performance demands of today’s vehicles. 

Langenbach, Germany, October 23, 2025 

Available across Europe, this comprehensive offering supports the day-to-day needs of the European independent aftermarket with high-performance parts and fast installation - all backed by decades of technical expertise. 

As vehicle technology continues to advance - from turbocharged engines to hybrid and electric drivetrains - the demands on replacement components are changing. OPTIMAL’s updated engine mounting range has been developed in response to these shifts, offering over 900 SKUs across standard, hydraulic, switchable and electronically controlled variants. The range supports a wide spectrum of vehicles, from ICE models to newer hybrid and electric platforms. 

Each mount is engineered with high standards by using advanced materials to reduce vibration, handle higher torque and temperature loads, and support a smoother drive.  

Where plastic packaging is required, it contains up to 50% recycled material, helping reduce workshop waste without compromising on protection. 

OPTIMAL benefits from being part of the Emotive family - a one-stop shop for independent workshops across Europe - with LKQ at the core of its distribution strategy, ensuring fast and reliable parts availability across the region. 

Martin Conrad, CEO at Emotive, said: “This relaunched range reflects a clear focus on the changing needs of today’s aftermarket - where technicians are under pressure to deliver fast, reliable and future-ready repairs. OPTIMAL’s updated engine mountings are engineered to perform in real-world conditions, with the fit, function and durability that give workshops complete confidence. 

“Engineered with modern vehicle platforms in mind, these mounts offer an advanced solution that goes beyond standard aftermarket expectations - delivering performance, reliability and innovation in equal measure.” 

Aykut Asiloglu, Head of Sales at OPTIMAL, said: Workshops rely on more than just parts - they need confidence in every order, every delivery and every product recommendation. Through the Emotive platform, we’re helping ensure that when a technician reaches for an OPTIMAL engine mounting, they know it will be there, it will fit, and it will do the job right. That’s what our customers expect, and that’s what we’re here to deliver.”
