Useimmat tuntevat Schaefflerin yrityksenä, joka valmistaa laakereita sekä muita komponentteja ja järjestelmiä ajoneuvo- ja muulle teollisuudelle, mutta harvat tietävät, että yritys toimii aktiivisesti myös vetyteknologian parissa. Schaefflerin teknologiaa käytetään paitsi vedyn tuottamiseen elektrolyysin avulla, myös vedyn muuntamiseen sähköenergiaksi.
Electric cargo and utility bikes are becoming an increasingly common sight in big cities, where they are the ideal solution for speedy, climate-friendly transportation and distribution of food, mail, medicine and more. To help with this trend, Schaeffler has been partnering with two-wheeler electric drive specialist Heinzmann GmbH & Co. KG to develop an innovative chainless drive system.
The Schaeffler Group has been recognized by the global not-for-profit environmental organization CDP for its leadership in disclosure and performance relating to climate change and water security. Schaeffler has improved its score from “A-” to “A” regarding both climate change and water security, an achievement that puts it among just a handful of the companies.
Schaefflerin kiinnostus hyötyajoneuvojen voimansiirtojärjestelmiin pitää sisällään myös vetyteknologian, erityisesti pitkän matkan käyttökohteissa.
This year is Schaeffler’s first appearance as an exhibitor at IAA Transportation, the world’s leading platform for the transportation and logistics industry. Trucks and buses make up only four percent of the global vehicle stock, but account for 40 percent of global CO2 emissions in road transport. At the same time, the demands in transportation and logistics continue to increase.
- Global Climate Action Day with about 4,000 workshops at the Schaeffler Group's approximately 200 locations - More than 20,000 ideas and suggestions from around the world to reduce CO2 emissions - Climate Ride supports sustainability projects - Commitment to climate protection significantly strengthened
Schaeffler is focusing on electric mobility. The company is demonstrating this by simultaneously launching several new electric axle drives (electric axles). “Electric axles are a key element of our electric mobility strategy,” says Matthias Zink, CEO Automotive Technologies at Schaeffler AG. Until now, up to three drive components were assembled in one compact unit.
World’s first: A ball bearing with integrated centrifugal disc from Schaeffler combines the benefits of two bearing designs for the first time.
The transformation of the automotive and manufacturing industries towards Industry 4.0 is a challenge for all actors involved. To continue to be successful, the industry needs to invest in digital solutions linked to AI. In that transition, Schaeffler wants to be a leading player by creating smart solutions that increase the performance and functionality of products and services.
