In automobiles, bearing products in key positions of transmission system play a vital role in system efficiency. Timken has rich experience as a global leader in the bearing industry. In traditional fuel vehicles, Timken tapered roller bearings are used in many locations, including reducer, differential, force takeoff, wheel end and gearbox etc. In pure electric or hybrid vehicles, Timken's products are mainly used in gearboxes.

Application of Timken Products in Automobiles

Taking hybrid electric vehicle as an example, no matter how the layout changes, Timken's efficient tapered roller bearings can be relied on to improve the efficiency of the transmission system.

Since the beginning of the twentieth century, Timken has been making continuous efforts in product application innovation since Timken provided the first tapered roller bearing for automobile customers. Since 2000, Timken has been developing FE bearings for many automotive customers, which can reduce power loss by 25% and improve fuel economy by nearly 1.5%.

With the continuous development and change of automotive technology, Timken FE bearings have been widely used in more types of automobiles with their advantages of better rigidity, smaller weight and lower power loss to help improve the efficiency of the whole system.
