SKF Assisted The Development Of China's Electric Vehicle Industry And Won The Watch Award From NIO

Recently, SKF was invited to attend the NIO Partner Day and won the "Watch Award". At the scene, SKF discussed and shared the future thinking and planning of the smart electric vehicle supply chain with a group of world-class companies from the fields of manufacturing, supply chain and financial investment.

Friends in and out, watch and help each other. This time, NIO issued the "Watching Award" to thank its partners who have fought against the epidemic and ensured supply and overcome the difficulties together in the past year. In the past period of time, chip shortages, rising raw material prices, and unstable factors brought about by the epidemic have all tested the resilience of the automotive supply chain. At a critical juncture in the industry, SKF Jiading Automobile Factory made every effort to ensure supply, fought side by side with customers, actively responded to each other, and stood firm with each other, crossing one level after another.

Every car has witnessed the upward vitality of Chinese brands, and behind it is the trust and support of all partners, said Li Bin, founder, chairman and CEO of NIO. Based on the common vision for the green development of the electric vehicle manufacturing industry, SKF and NIO maintain a good partnership.

With the implementation of the "dual carbon" goal and consumers' pursuit of high-quality green life, new energy vehicles that combine environmental protection and intelligence have shown huge market potential. In the fierce market competition environment, the performance and technical process of electric vehicles are continuously improved, and there are also new requirements for auto parts products including bearing products.

Under the mainstream 800V electrical structure in the market, the problems of noise, vibration and harshness, the improvement of the press-fitting process during the manufacturing process, and the intelligentization of electric drive products are the three major challenges faced by the electric vehicle manufacturing process. As a leader in the global bearing industry, SKF has strong technical development capabilities and product competitiveness. Its leading ceramic ball bearing products and condition monitoring can help electric vehicle manufacturers solve related problems.

Since entering China in 1912, SKF has been adhering to the concept of "rooted in China, led by technology, and operated reliably", and has accelerated the localization of the entire value chain in China. In the future, SKF will continue to give full play to its experience and advantages in the field of intelligence and cleanliness, and join hands with more excellent partners in the industry to jointly promote the sustainable development of the future travel and new energy vehicle industry, and enable reliable operation of all walks of life
