The global transition to electric vehicles (EVs) is reshaping the automotive industry. As EV adoption accelerates, the focus goes beyond battery capacity—toward optimizing energy efficiency, reducing NVH (noise, vibration, and harshness), improving sustainability, and mastering thermal management. GGB is at the forefront of this transformation.
By 2030, EVs are expected to account for over 50% of all new vehicle sales worldwide. This shift is creating new engineering challenges and higher expectations for suppliers across the value chain. GGB helps OEMs and Tier 2 suppliers meet these demands with advanced tribological solutions.
While battery tech evolves, reducing energy loss remains a top priority. GGB’s low-friction bearing materials help maximize drivetrain efficiency, minimize heat buildup, and extend driving range.
Reducing vehicle mass improves range and performance. Our metal-polymer and engineered plastic bearings deliver high strength in compact, lightweight formats—without sacrificing durability.
Electric motors eliminate engine noise—but expose even minor vibrations. GGB’s precision-engineered components dampen vibration and noise, enhancing comfort and maintaining a premium ride feel.
Our lead-free, RoHS/ELV-compliant materials support your sustainability goals. Many GGB solutions are recyclable and developed to minimize environmental impact across the product lifecycle.
EV systems—from motors and inverters to battery modules—generate significant heat. GGB bearings withstand high thermal loads, resist wear, and support efficient heat dissipation in compact assemblies.
We supply EV-ready tribological solutions for critical applications:
Friction is responsible for over 50% of energy loss in EVs. GGB’s low-friction, high-performance materials are specifically designed to reduce these losses, enhancing the overall energy efficiency.
Our precision-engineered bearings reduce vibrations and eliminate harshness—preserving the quiet, refined feel EV customers expect.
GGB bearings excel in dry-start and lubricated conditions, supporting long service life and eliminating the need for relubrication in sealed or hard-to-reach systems.
GGB’s advanced materials provide superior wear resistance, extending the lifespan of components and reducing the need for frequent maintenance. This enhanced durability ensures improved system reliability, minimizing downtime and reducing long-term operational costs.
Our materials are designed for durability under load, providing longer life, reduced downtime, and lower total cost of ownership.
Our metal-polymer and engineered plastic solutions help reduce vehicle weight while maintaining high structural integrity—enabling greater efficiency and compact design.
All GGB materials recommended for Electric Vehicles are lead-free and RoHS/ELV compliant, with several options offering recyclability and low environmental impact—supporting our customers’ sustainability goals.
Let GGB be your partner in performance, efficiency, and sustainability. Explore our tribological solutions and drive the next generation of electric mobility.
