The new SKF Low Friction Hub
Bearing Unit, an energy efficient
wheel end for cars, is said to reduce
friction by more than 20% compared
to previous generations of SKF
standard hub units, and provide CO2
savings of up to 0.6 g per km.

When based on an annual mileage
of 14,500km, the saving is 9 kg CO2
per year. This equates to a reduction
of 9000 tonnes of CO2 per year if one
million cars were equipped with the
SKF solution. The SKF Low Friction
Hub Bearing Unit is included in the
SKF BeyondZero portfolio.
