With 34 million BEVs expected on European roads by 2030, we’re well on the way to electrification – but the focus must shift from bringing new EVs on to our roads to ensuring they stay there🔌 From providing regular service and maintenance to tackling battery repair, the aftermarket has a critical role in shaping the future of clean and efficient mobility. Our Senior Innovation Manager Christoph Schön discusses why accessible and affordable repair and maintenance is essential for EVs to thrive at scale here⬇️ #Electrification #Sustainability #EV #KeepingYouMoving

After an accident in July of this year, I was incredibly grateful for the support and care I received from my family, friends, and colleagues. Their presence played a crucial role in my recovery, allowing me to heal in the best possible way. More importantly, it provided me with a moment of clarity, genuine reflection, and deep appreciation. I often wonder what I would have done without their support and where I would be today without them. At that time, I couldn't have needed their help more; they were there for me. I consider myself fortunate and will always be thankful and appreciative. The harsh truth is that for many, "life happens," and they find themselves without the essential support or people around them to help lift them during their times of need. With this firmly in mind, I will be taking part in the Ben Automotive Industry Charity 2025 Industry Leader Challenge with Melanie Lowe, David Brookfield, Ian Leedham This will involve trekking for 10 hours a day across harsh terrain, covering up to 27 kilometres each day in the intense heat of the Sahara Desert for a duration of 5 days This adventure is all about supporting the incredible work the Ben team does for those within our industry - Every 15 minutes, someone calls the Ben helpline and in 2023, more than 12,500 people and families were supported. Ben's initiatives play a vital role in providing the necessary resources, assistance, and companionship to those facing challenges. They can bridge the gap for individuals who are struggling, ensuring that no one has to endure their hardships alone If you'd like to sponsor us, you can do so here: https://lnkd.in/ecqpCdhv Thank you for anything you can do - it will make a real difference. #LKQUKI #KeepingYouMoving LKQ Bodyshop Division (UK & ROI),LKQ Europe LKQ UK and Ireland Matt Wigginton

We’ve partnered with MPM International Oil Company B.V. to create a packaging solution that’s set to take 40,000kg of plastic out of circulation per year 🙌 This innovative packaging is compatible with 13 of MPM’s motor oil products, offering customers a greener alternative to traditional plastic packaging. The outer box is made from sustainable cardboard and manufactured without dyes or bleaches. Once the oil is finished, the bag can be removed, and the cardboard can be easily compressed for recycling, taking up to 90% less space. Find out more here: https://lnkd.in/eZu-zQ45
