LRPI is looking to expand its operations to understand the remanufacturing of particulate filters, starters and traction batteries.

LRPI also plans to remain within the diesel-car sector. They understand that EVs entering the market will increase as a result of legislation; however, internal combustion engine vehicles (ICEV) cars will still be a major part of the car park for which LRPI will still provide parts.

Product traceability

Products are certified by the original manufacturer through identifier codes, increasing traceability and highlighting where the product has been remanufactured.
With the potential introduction of product passports, traceability may be further developed.

Relationship with OEMs

LRPI is officially partnered with 3 key OEMs (Bosch, Delphi Technologies, and Continental VDO) to remanufacture their parts.
The quality of the remanufactured products must align with OEM remanufacturing standards.
To ensure quality is standardised between the three partners, LRPI is audited once a year.
