NTN Corporation (hereafter, NTN) exhibits at the '19th Shanghai International Automobile Industry Exhibition (Auto Shanghai 2021)' held in Shanghai, China from April 19 to 28.

This event is one of the largest automotive related exhibitions in China held every other year. At the previous exhibition in 2019, more than 1000 companies exhibited at the event with approximately one million visitors.

NTN will introduce a wide range of products that contribute to electrification, low fuel consumption, and higher efficiency for the Chinese automotive market, where new vehicle sales are recovering and development of electric vehicles is accelerating.

NTN booth will exhibit products of which NTN has been expanding mass-production in recent years such as high speed deep groove ball bearing for EVs and HEVs which contributes to small and lightweight motors through outstanding high speed rotational performance and 'Ultra-low Friction Sealed Ball Bearing' which realizes both low torque and long operating life as bearings for gearboxes. Additionally, we will exhibit 'Low Temperature Rise and Low Torque Tapered Roller Bearing' which contributes to more efficient differentials with world's highest level in low temperature rise and low torque and other various products including new products.

As to hub bearings and driveshafts for which NTN has large shares in global market, we will introduce high performance products such as 'Low Friction Hub Bearing III' which reduces rotational friction by 62% from conventional product, 'HEDJ-P' a plunging type constant velocity joint for propeller shafts that achieves the world's highest level in compactness and lightness, and 'Lightweight Driveshaft for FR vehicle' which is suitable for FR vehicle with optimized design.

At the NTN booth, we will install models of transmissions and motorcycle engines to show where NTN products are applied and their roles in detail.
