Energy efficient cars
The automotive industry is going through a period of unprecedented change. Computer technology is moving into control and monitoring arrangements for many vehicle systems. New materials, such as light alloys for major suspension elements, are moving from specialist cars to mainstream production. These are exciting and challenging times for all involved in engineering vehicles and vehicle systems. At SKF we have been at the technical forefront of solutions for bearing systems and mechanical assembly sealing solutions for almost a century. The challenges set by today's opportunities are embraced by our engineers with the same determination that saw the development of the world's first hub bearing units and the first custom-designed engine oil seals.
Introducing lower CO2
SKF can now present a complete portfolio of products and services that range from single bearings and seals to complete powertrain solutions that help reduce CO2 emissions. We also offer software that can calculate these savings in both today's and future powertrain concepts. Furthermore, with these low friction solutions we help not only reduce emissions but also increase fuel efficiency. And this, we know for sure, will be even more important to our innovative automotive partners. |
