SKF supplies bearings for the electric motor speed reducer as well as high-performance wheel hub units for the luxury sports car Venturi Fétish. In addition, SKF has been working closely with Monaco-based Venturi Automobiles to provide specific calculation services.

“The technical collaboration between SKF and Venturi Automobiles has led to the development and growth in reliable technical solutions for electric-car applications,” says Tryggve Sthen, president SKF Automotive Division. “We can provide extensive knowledge in the area of energy-efficient vehicles, acquired through several similar development projects.”

This high-performance, all-electric, noiseless sports car is unique among luxury cars for its environmentally friendly features.

The Venturi Fétish bodywork is built entirely of carbon fibre and benefits from the best technologies available for achieving an outstanding car. Despite it being an extremely high-tech car, the design of the Venturi Fétish has focused on driving pleasure and ease of use.
