Croatian rolling stock producer Koncar KEV has finalized an agreement with SKF for the supply of bearings, axleboxes and associated equipment for its latest low-floor electric and diesel-electric multiple-unit trains.

SKF has been involved in bearing-related matters, such as axleboxes and their sensorised bearings, traction motors and condition monitoring for Koncar KEV since 2008. Being a relative newcomer in the EMU and DMU field, the reputable locomotive producer chose SKF as a technically competent and reliable supplier to provide support during the challenging development quest.
