SKF and Ricardo have signed an agreement to develop energy efficient solutions to better serve the increasing customer demand from the automotive industry for increased fuel economy and reduced CO2

Through the cooperation both companies will be able to offer their common customer base a ‘one-stop-shop’ partner providing leading edge research, product and application development and cost efficient manufacturing and supply.
