Wix Filters, a global manufacturer of filtration products, introduced 334 new parts in 2014, with more than half of the new numbers serving the light- and heavy-duty premium segments, according to the company. This total includes 132 light-duty and 109 heavy-duty filter applications.
The company noted that it added four part numbers for the world’s first proactive molecular hydraulic oil water absorber.
“We also released over 50 new heavy-duty fuel filters to keep up with the ever increasing demands in the market for quality fuel protection,” said Donald Chilton, vice president of product management for Wix. “Today’s modern engines need increasingly precise protection and our team is here to deliver.”
Wix said it plans on offering even more coverage for the premium category, paying specific attention to its XP product line.
“With recommended drain intervals becoming longer and longer, it’s necessary for these filters to have even better protection,” Chilton added. “This is where the WIX XP product consistently delivers, and will continue to be innovated in advance of and in response to industry trends.”
