Customised and hybrid bearings solve fundamental issues in electric vehicles

Gothenburg, Sweden, 17 May 2019: On the surface, there appears little difference between an electric and hybrid vehicle (EV&HEV) and the conventional car, powered by an internal combustion engine, that it will increasingly replace.However, beneath the chassis, the gulf is huge, with the most fundamental shift being in the drivetrain.
