Cable harnesses + repair kits made by DT Spare Parts

Date: Monday 25 September 2023

Cable harnesses are taking on an increasingly important role in the automotive sector. The reason for this is the increasing electrification and integration of electrical components in commercial vehicles, which automatically leads to a larger quantity of required cables and cable harnesses. In the Diesel Technic Partner Portal, DT Spare Parts cable harnesses for various vehicle types are available in different versions, as well as special articles for the engine, the vehicle interior, the chassis and the transmission.

A cable harness, also called a cable set, combines electrical cables, wires and often also plug connections that are used in vehicles to make electrical connections between different components. The advantages of cable harnesses are manifold. On the one hand, the articles from DT Spare Parts convince with robustness and durability and are therefore ideal for commercial vehicles that are used under demanding conditions. Their robust properties make the cable harnesses resistant to vibrations, moisture, heat, cold and other environmental stresses. On the other hand, the use of pre-assembled cable harnesses minimises the risk of wiring errors, as the cables are already assembled according to the requirements. Furthermore, the use of cable harnesses can speed up the installation process, as the cables are already prepared and only need to be connected. As all items go through the Diesel Technic Quality System (DTQS), the use of DT Spare Parts brand cable harnesses increases the reliability of the electrical connections. Finally, high-quality cable harnesses score points for ease of maintenance, as the wiring is easily accessible and problems can be identified and rectified more quickly.

In the Partner Portal, customers will find various cable harnesses in the product group “Electrical system”, suitable for various applications: Caterpillar, Citroen, DAF, Fiat, Ford, Fruehauf, General Motors, Goldhofer, Iveco, Komatsu, Krone, Kögel, Liebherr, MAN, Mercedes-Benz, Opel, Peugeot, Renault, Scania, Schmitz Cargobull, Setra, VW and Volvo. Among them are cable harnesses and connectors as well as numerous repair kits. Whether truck, trailer, bus, transporter or other applications – workshop professionals will find the right spare part for every product division.
