NTN holds the largest share of the global market for axle bearings, critical automotive components that enable wheel axles to turn. We’re number two in global market share of constant-velocity joints (CVJs), a key component for vehicle drivetrains.

FOCUS ON EFFICIENCY AND ENVIRONMENT

          At NTN, we’re developing smaller, lighter bearings and CVJs that offer lower torque, and we’re stepping up the development of modular products for electrical vehicles. Our goal is to address the latest concerns of the auto industry, such as the need for low-fuel consumption and reductions in CO2 emissions.
