STARTERS & ALTERNATORS
Starters and alternators are essential components for engine operation. They work together to ensure the engine starts properly and continues to function reliably. An engine may be powerful, fuel-efficient, or environmentally friendly, but without a starter, it cannot operate at all—the vehicle simply will not start. Likewise, without an alternator, electrical systems and all power-dependent components in the vehicle cannot function properly.
AOPEC offers a broad and comprehensive portfolio of starters and alternators for passenger cars, commercial vehicles such as trucks and buses, as well as construction and agricultural machinery. The range also extends to certain stationary applications, ensuring wide coverage across multiple industries and vehicle types.
Starters
An electric starter is a device used to start an internal combustion engine. It is a direct current (DC) motor that rotates the engine crankshaft at a sufficient speed to initiate engine operation under its own power. Engine starters draw a high amount of electrical energy from the battery during the starting process.
AOPEC offers starters for both the aftermarket and racing markets. With more than 2,000 SKUs in its range, AOPEC is able to cover over 80% of vehicles and applications in the market. All products are 100% new components and come with a 24-month quality warranty.
Alternators
An alternator is an electrical generator that converts mechanical energy into alternating current (AC). Electricity is produced in the stator windings through the rotating magnetic field of the rotor. Since a vehicle’s battery powers all electrical systems, it must be continuously recharged, which makes the alternator a critical and essential component in both older and modern vehicles.
AOPEC offers alternators for both the aftermarket and racing markets. With more than 1,500 SKUs in its range, AOPEC is able to cover over 80% of vehicle applications in the market. All products are 100% new components and come with a 24-month quality warranty.
Voltage Regulators
A voltage regulator is a system designed to automatically maintain a constant voltage level. In automotive alternator systems, the voltage regulator controls the alternator’s output to ensure a stable voltage supply to both the engine and the battery.
AOPEC offers more than 1,000 regulator SKUs for various types of alternators, covering over 80% of alternator applications in the market. All products are 100% new components and come with a quality warranty.
Rectifiers
A rectifier is an electrical device that converts alternating current (AC), which periodically reverses direction, into direct current (DC), which flows in a single direction.
AOPEC offers more than 500 rectifier SKUs for various types of alternators, covering over 80% of alternator applications in the market. All products are 100% new components and come with a quality warranty.
Brushes
A starter brush is an electrical contact that conducts current between stationary wires and moving parts, most commonly within a rotating shaft.
AOPEC offers more than 500 brush SKUs for various types of starters, covering over 80% of starter applications in the market. All products are 100% new components and come with a quality warranty.
