In July, 94 student teams from 12 countries all over Asia hit the tracks of the Sepang International Circuit in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, where the Formula One race takes place. They were gearing up for an eco-marathon contest to see whose designs could travel the furthest distance using the least amount of fuel.
The small event reflected a much larger picture. Countries across the globe have been seeking effective ways to reduce carbon dioxide in the automotive sector.
Despite the enormous strides in improving energy efficiency in passenger cars, as little as 15 to 20 percent of the fuel gets used to move a car or to power the vehicle's accessories. The rest is lost by engine and driveline inefficiency and idling,
By using energy-saving bearings and optimizing in drafting engineering design,the competitor created a strong presence in the sector but, more importantly, educates the audience through indoctrinating energy-efficiency ideas in designing critical components in automobiles.
While the energy-saving car has quickly evolved from a concept to reality, farsighted Run-well Group has seen the ways of turning the current environmental problems to our commercial advantage.
As a result of optimized design and internal geometries, series of energy efficient ball and roller bearings Run-well Group provide exhibit significantly less friction loss than conventional bearings of a similar type. Up to 30 percent friction reduction in the bearing range applied in a car driveline will save up to 8 grams of carbon dioxide emission every kilometer.
Another such example is replacing metal-to-metal camshaft bushings with roller bearings, an innovation first used in high-performance racing cars. Some studies show that crankshaft roller bearings can yield fuel savings of up to 5 to 6 percent, as a result both of less friction and the fact that only a small oil pump is required.
China has huge potential in the new energy car sector, by offering qualified energy-saving bearings, Run-well Group is rushing to the 'green' vehicle front, and we believe that we will play an important role in energy-saving vehicle industry.
