The GGB Advantage

Fuel Efficiency That Cuts Costs

Fuel economy is critical for fleet profitability. GGB’s low-friction, self-lubricating bearings and coatings reduce mechanical drag in steering, suspension, and drivetrain systems, thereby improving fuel efficiency and reducing energy loss. Extended service intervals also minimize downtime and maintenance costs.
 

Engineered for Heavy-Duty Durability

Commercial vehicles operate under constant stress. GGB bearings are built for high-load environments, providing reliable load distribution and resistance to fatigue to ensure long-lasting performance under demanding conditions.
 

Simplified Assembly & Maintenance

GGB solutions are designed for easy installation, tight tolerances, and reduced edge loading. Designed to handle misalignment and minimize wear, our bearings streamline vehicle assembly and cut service labor time. 
 

Built for Harsh Environments

From extreme heat and cold to corrosive road salt and chemicals, GGB materials are designed to perform. Our corrosion-resistant and self-lubricating components protect critical systems—even in the event of lubrication failure.
 

Supporting Regulatory & Sustainability Goals

With stricter environmental regulations, OEMs need smarter materials. GGB bearings and coatings are produced locally for local demand and are RoHS/ELV compliant. This helps to reduce emissions and improve energy efficiency.
 

Enhanced Driver Comfort & Control

Driver comfort affects safety and efficiency. GGB bearings reduce noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH), enabling smoother rides, better handling, and less fatigue—critical for long-distance and heavy-duty operations.        

Built for the Road Ahead

Whether you're developing next-generation EV commercial trucks or refining internal combustion platforms, GGB delivers the materials science and engineering expertise to help you succeed. Our tribological solutions keep vehicles moving—longer, smoother, and more efficiently.
