The best engineering decisions are made early. Long before a vehicle specification is locked. That is when we step in. We work side by side with your engineers from initial concept to final component. And we bring over a century of expertise in bearings, tribology, wheel ends, powertrain and drive control systems. That is how we co-drive mobility.
We partner with OEMs in every vehicle category and bring the same expertise, no matter the size of the vehicle.
A good supplier meets spec on time. A great partner takes it further and anticipates your next challenge. SKF Vertevo is set up for the second kind of relationship.
Our way of working has earned us a place inside the development programmes of some of the world’s leading vehicle manufacturers. Many of those relationships span decades. Our parts may be small, but the difference they make is not.

High-performance bearings needed in an electric vehicle
20+
For a manufacturer the goals are clear: More range. Lower running cost. Less downtime. A quieter cabin. A smaller footprint.
Underneath, there often lies a question about a rotating component. How much friction it creates. How much heat it can take. Whether it survives the stray current of electrical powertrains. How long it runs before it needs attention.
Making the wishlist reality is our work. Friction reduction results in more range and lower energy use across powertrains. Electric vehicles need bearings that resist electrical erosion and run quiet, since there is no engine noise left to hide them. In trucks and buses, downtime is minimised with sealed, unitised designs that run longer between service.
01
Every watt lost to friction is range lost for the driver
Passenger vehicles are electrifying faster than any other segment. As powertrains change, every rotating component is asked to do more. Higher speeds, new loads, electrical currents that conventional bearings were never built for. We’ll engineer for whatever comes next.
02
When uptime is everything
A truck off the road means lost revenue and missed commitments. As commercial vehicles grow heavier, travel further and face pressure to electrify, the demands on every component rise. We engineer for the long haul, in every sense.
03
Every gram counts on lighter vehicles
Cities are getting denser and scooters, motorcycles and cargo trikes are increasingly the answer. As powertrains electrify, fewer bearings do more work, and every part has to earn its place. Compact, electrically compatible, reliable from monsoon rain to desert heat. That is the brief we solve.

Aftermarket parts
20,000+ references. Global reach. Local delivery. Everything you need to keep vehicles rolling.
In racing, our engineering is put to the test under extreme demands for performance, precision, endurance and reliability. What proves itself there becomes part of how we innovate for everyday vehicles.
Increasing efficiency. Beyond compliance.
Emissions targets are tightening. Regulations are getting stricter. And your customers expect cleaner, more efficient vehicles with every new model. Meeting these demands starts long before the vehicle leaves the factory. It starts in the components.
At SKF Vertevo, we help OE partners engineer vehicles that go beyond compliance. Not just meeting today's targets – but staying ahead of tomorrow's.
