Donington Park race track was the venue for the official launch of the new ABT Schaeffler Audi Sport FE01 race car ahead of the first official tests for the second season of the Formula E Championship.
A collaborative project between automotive engine component and system supplier Schaeffler and the Karlsruhe Institute for Technology (KIT), Germany, is researching new technologies for improving the energy efficiency of assisted steering systems on electric vehicles.
Schaeffler, the family-run ball-bearing maker and largest shareholder in Continental AG, is reportedly considering a multi-billion euro IPO for its ball-bearing business in what could be a prelude to a further purchase of Conti shares.
The 100 millionth dual mass flywheel (DMF) has left the production line at the automotive supplier LuK in Bühl (Germany), which is part of the Schaeffler Group.
