Examples
• Increasing the positives –
customer solutions
• Reducing the negatives –
manufacturing efficiency
+
Environmental impact 0
–
–
Reduce the negative
environmental impact
from our operations.
• Raw material and components
• SKF’s own operations
• Transport and distribution

Increase customer
solutions enabling
better environmental
performance.
Sustainable customer solutions:
Automotive weight and friction reduction
Low weight hub bearing units
• Use of low weight material in non-critical parts can
reduce component weight by 30%
Optimized flange design
• Changed design reduces the component weight by 10%
– used by e.g. BMW
Wheel hubs made from aluminum
• The system weight is reduced by 30%
Low friction hub bearing units
• Optimized ball set geometry and a high-performance
grease reduces friction by 20%
