Hybrid and Electric Vehicles

Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEV) There has been significant growth in hybrid transmissions over the last decade, driven by global CO2 regulations. Hybrid transmissions can operate under very specific conditions at ultra-high speeds—such as using large engines, generators, or low-viscosity oils.... Conventional products cannot meet these special requirements, but with NSK's latest innovations in this field, hybrid systems can achieve performance, low friction, and long service life, along with the highest possible efficiency. As a leading supplier of bearings for hybrid transmissions, NSK continues to develop new concepts based on its four core technologies: Tribology, Materials Engineering, Analytical Technology, and Mechatronics. Electric Vehicles (EV) Electric vehicles have evolved from dream concept cars created for exciting mass production vehicles. While there are significant opportunities for innovation, technical challenges can also be observed. These vehicles combine driver and passenger comfort with safety, efficiency, and ease of use, providing users with an extraordinary driving experience. Read more
