Fersa, the global leader in high-performance bearing and powertrain solutions, will showcase its cutting-edge Fuel Efficient Wheel Hub Assembly technology at Automec 2025, a leading auto parts trade show in Latin America, taking place April 22–26 at São Paulo Expo, Brazil.
With fuel costs and emissions pressures mounting across Latin America for commercial vehicle fleet operators, Fersa’s advanced Fuel Efficient Wheel Hub solution delivers independently validated fuel savings of at least 3% for a truck and trailer combination, translating to real-world savings of up to R$ 11.466 per application annually. Developed through a rigorous one-million-kilometer global validation program, the Fersa commercial vehicle technology optimizes friction and durability for demanding, high-mileage conditions common across the region.
Fersa’s Fuel Efficient Wheel Hub Assembly is the culmination of years of applied engineering, developed to maximize performance through micro geometric precision, high-spec materials and a fine-tuned lubrication architecture that cuts rolling resistance and enhances mechanical efficiency.
By optimizing contact surfaces, reducing internal friction, and incorporating robust sealing technology, the system delivers tangible fuel savings without sacrificing durability. Engineered for high-load environments, it stands up to the intense demands of industrial and commercial transport – delivering reliable, long-life performance even under the toughest operating conditions.
Fersa’s presence at Automec marks a key moment in its Latin American growth strategy, as the company looks to deepen relationships with regional fleet operators, distributors and industry leaders. Alongside the Fuel Efficient Wheel Hub innovation, visitors to the stand will discover the latest in light commercial vehicle differential repair kits, also optimized for emerging markets. The F-Box Differential Repair Kit combines OEM-grade bearings and a tapered roller tech within a simplified all-in-one package that is easy to install, reduces wear and boosts lifespan – making the solution an ideal fit for Latin America’s growing independent repair market.
“Automec is a crucial meeting point for Latin America’s transport ecosystem – and we’re proud to showcase technologies that deliver proven efficiency and lasting value,” said Rafael Paniagua, CEO of Fersa. “Our Fuel Efficient Wheel Hub solution is engineered with real-world durability in mind, offering fleet operators and repair professionals a smarter path to performance, savings and sustainability.”
Fersa’s team will be on-site throughout Automec to share insights into the engineering behind its tech solutions and connect with operators, distributors and workshop professionals from across the continent.
Journalists attending Automec 2025 – or following Fersa developments remotely – can arrange one-to-one interviews with Fersa executives or engineers. To book a session, email: press@fersa.com.
