About LRT Automotive GmbH
High-Performance Emission Systems for the Independent Aftermarket
Founded in 1998 near Heidelberg, Germany, LRT Automotive GmbH is a premier medium-sized manufacturer specializing in Air Purification Technologies (LuftReinhaltungsTechnologien). We are a dedicated, pure-play B2B partner engineered to supply international parts distributors, buying groups, and high-volume wholesalers with premium emission control components.
Engineered to Solve OEM Weak Points
We do not just manufacture standard replacements; we engineer structural improvements. Our in-house research and development team analyzes high-failure OEM designs to eliminate systematic weak points. For example, our exhaust manifolds utilize high-grade compact graphite iron rather than standard grey cast iron, drastically reducing warranty claims and returns for your business.
Our high-availability product portfolio features over thousands of active SKUs:
- Catalytic Converters: Silicon-carbide and metallic core solutions certified with the prestigious "Blue Angel" environmental eco-label.
- Exhaust Manifolds: Reinforced designs engineered to resist extreme thermal stress and cracking.
- Diesel Particulate Filters (DPF): Cordierite and Silicon Carbide filters designed for optimal backpressure and soot loading.
- Combined Manifold-Catalysts: Prefabricated, bolt-on units that drastically minimize workshop installation times.
