Federal-Mogul's Innovative IROX® Bearings Experiencing Significant Market Growth

Since launching IROX® polymer-coated engine bearings in 2010, Federal-Mogul Corporation`s (FDML) Powertrain Segment has established an industry-leading position with this innovative bearing technology. In less than three years, IROX bearings have launched with four of the largest global OEMs on three continents. IROX is an innovative polymer-coated engine bearing that enables reduced fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. It withstands high mechanical loads in efficient, heavily boosted engines and also addresses the lubrication challenges associated with frequent  re-starts found in stop-start engines. In extreme duty applications, the IROX coating can significantly extend bearing life. IROX has enabled engine manufacturers to meet the needs of start-stop applications in downsized engines, and as a result, Federal-Mogul is experiencing significant demand for this new product.
