SKF (Xinchang) Bearing and Precision Technology Co., Ltd. has been successfully listed for its small and medium-sized deep groove ball bearing project in the new energy vehicle industry

Recently, the Zhejiang Provincial Department of Ecology and Environment announced the list of projects selected for the 2025 Featured Product Carbon Footprint Factor program. SKF (Xinchang) Bearings & Precision Technology Co., Ltd. was successfully included on the list for its small and medium-sized deep groove ball bearing project applied to the new energy vehicle industry. This honor not only recognizes SKF's outstanding strength in green and low-carbon technology research and development but also affirms Xinchang County's long-term efforts in promoting green development for enterprises and contributing to the achievement of "dual carbon" goals.

As a key means of measuring greenhouse gas emissions throughout a product's life cycle, carbon footprint management has become an important tool for enterprises' green transformation. SKF's selected small and medium-sized deep groove ball bearing project focuses on the low-carbon needs of the new energy vehicle industry. Prior to this, the company had already implemented a series of practical measures to reduce the product's carbon footprint: optimizing production processes to reduce energy waste, upgrading equipment to improve energy efficiency, and promoting the use of clean energy to replace traditional energy sources, controlling carbon emissions from the source of production and laying a solid foundation for the project's selection.

It is understood that SKF will use this as an opportunity to further establish and improve its carbon footprint management system. This system will cover the entire chain of small and medium-sized deep groove ball bearings, from raw material procurement and production to logistics, transportation, and maintenance, providing detailed accounting and analysis of carbon emissions at each stage. This will not only give products a more convincing "green label" and help companies enhance their market competitiveness in the new energy vehicle supply chain, but the carbon footprint factor calculated will also provide an important supplement to Zhejiang Province's carbon footprint factor database, offering a benchmark for the green and low-carbon transformation of the bearing industry and the new energy vehicle industry chain.

In recent years, Xinchang County has consistently regarded green and low-carbon transformation as a core driver of high-quality development. Through policy guidance, technical support, and precise services, it has promoted enterprises to build full life-cycle carbon management capabilities. Relying on Zhejiang Province's innovative time-of-use electricity carbon factor accounting method, Xinchang County enterprises can achieve precise carbon footprint traceability, and their carbon reduction achievements have received international authoritative certification and recognition, providing a "Chinese solution" for addressing global green trade rules.
