NTN Europe commits to sustainable mobility with SNR refurbished driveshafts

Aware of the importance of reducing carbon footprints and promoting the circular economy, NTN offers refurbished driveshafts as a sustainable alternative to new parts. This process allows the re-use of high-quality components, while ensuring performance and reliability equivalent to new products. By investing in refurbishment, NTN extends the life of parts, reduces waste and supports more responsible mobility.

In this way, NTN enables garages to offer their customers a diversified and environmentally friendly range, in line with the AGEC law of 10 February 2020 (Anti-waste for a circular economy), which encourages the use of spare parts from the circular economy whenever possible.

NTN's driveshafts remanufacturing process is based on 10 rigorous stages, from the collection of ‘cores’ (used parts) to the final performance tests, to guarantee a quality equivalent to that of new parts.

Each driveshafts undergoes complete disassembly, followed by meticulous cleaning to eliminate any contamination. Worn components, such as bellows and clamps, are systematically replaced, and some critical parts are remanufactured to their original condition.

Driveshafts are then reassembled by hand to ensure a perfect fit. Finally, each product undergoes strict performance and durability tests before being painted and packaged.
