5. ECO Unit

• ECO Unit – the BPW bearing unit:
  maintenance-free, light and proven millions of times over.

  

  Mileage up – workshop costs down.
   

  
  

  12 million ECO Plus axles sold - a success which is due not least to the globally proven maintenance-free bearing technology of the ECO unit. Its enclosed design guarantees the highest mileage. And that‘s not all: the ECO unit is extremely easy to service.
  This is guaranteed by, amongst other things, the DIN ISO roller bearings which are available worldwide and easily installed in accordance with the Formula 1 principle by means of the central axle bolt. In the run-up to the launch of the ECO Plus 2, we systematically developed the ECO unit further. Together with the newly developed wheel hub design, it makes a significant contribution to the lower weight of the ECO Plus 2 axles. Other innovations such as the new grease cartridge, the practical bayonet lock of the hub cap and the axle bolt with integrated torque limiter demonstrate how added value can be created with intelligent details.
