New FAG Repair Insert Unit with patented seal design for efficient repairs and improved fuel economy

Schaeffler Vehicle Lifetime Solutions (VLS) has introduced an updated version of its popular FAG Repair Insert Unit (RIU) for commercial vehicles. The pre-assembled unit is designed to make OE quality wheel bearing replacements simpler in truck, trailer and bus hubs. The new RIU can also extend maintenance intervals and has a patented sealing cap that helps to lower diesel consumption and CO2 emissions by reducing friction levels. The result: less time off the road means lower operating costs.
