Fersa, a leading developer of bearing solutions, has announced the successful completion of one year of rigorous testing of its Fuel Efficient (FE) Wheel Hub assembly system. The company’s analysis reveals that the technology can deliver a minimum of 3% fuel savings for trucks pulling trailers. The testing, conducted over one million kilometers and validated by Maswer and TechnoPark MotorLand, covered various road and environmental conditions including dusty terrains and wading situations. The results show that a single truck using Fersa’s FE technology can save around 1,800 liters of fuel per year, equivalent to a cost reduction of US$3,495. Across a fleet of 100 vehicles, this could lead to annual savings of US$349,500.
Rafael Paniagua, CEO of Fersa, emphasized the technology’s ability to reduce costs and emissions in the transportation industry. Fleet operators participating in the trials have reported improved fuel economy and reduced wear and tear, particularly in urban driving conditions. Sesé, a major European supply chain management firm, is one of Fersa’s key trial partners who praised the technology for its tangible cost reductions and efficiency enhancements.
The FE Wheel Hub assembly combines microgeometric refinements, high-performance materials, and optimized lubrication to minimize rolling resistance and enhance efficiency. According to Sergio Santo Domingo, Fersa’s global R&D director, the technology sets a new standard for fleet efficiency by reducing energy loss and fuel consumption. Fersa continues to optimize and test the technology to unlock its full potential and further support sustainability goals in the transportation industry.
