link hidden, please login to view said the Octane Booster from NOS is designed to raise octane levels of fuel by up to five numbers for high-compression sport and race engines. The company added that it delivers improved horsepower, reduces NOX emissions and promotes better engine knock protection. The sensor-safe, made in the USA formulation fills a critical role of preventing pre-ignition and damage and its significant octane-boosting capabilities make it exclusive for off-road, race-only enthusiasts looking for maximum power, Holley said. The company also said the Holley Carburetor Cleaner is formulated to be tough on deposits and carbon buildup while remaining safe for sensors, plastics and metal components. Engineered for carburetors and throttle bodies, its versatility extends to a variety of engine types to restore responsiveness and ensure smoother operation. Made in the USA, this professional-grade product is designed for both performance enthusiasts and everyday drivers, the company said.

Since the beginning of the year, Schaeffler said it has provided its customers with a CO₂e emissions calculator. The company said all that is required is the input of load and speed data in the online product catalog “Schaeffler medias.”
Schaeffler explained that to achieve its climate targets, companies require transparency regarding the CO₂ emissions created by supplier products. Schaeffler now provides this information for the majority of its rolling bearing product portfolio.
Based on these emission values, customers can make data-based investment decisions, which are in line with their sustainability targets.
link hidden, please login to view said it displays the emissions in so-called carbon dioxide equivalents, abbreviated as CO₂e, as a metric measure used to compare the emissions of various greenhouse gases based on their global-warming potential (GWP). Since the beginning of 2025, the calculator in the digital product catalog “Schaeffler medias” has not just offered the option of calculating the production-related CO₂e emissions at individual bearing level. It also shows the emissions caused by friction losses in the bearing during the utilization phase.
“Our customers can now find out quickly and simply how many CO₂e emissions are produced by the operation of a rolling bearing in their application – and therefore how the selection of a bearing with optimized friction behavior has an impact on the operating costs in quantitative terms,” explained André Schade, sustainability coordinator for product development in R&D at Schaeffler Bearings & Industrial Solutions.
Relevance for all industrial sectors
Because this information can be found directly in the product catalog, customers who are registered with “Schaeffler medias” can select their desired products as usual. They also have the option of defining the planned application based on several load cases. To receive informative values on CO₂e emissions during the use phase, all that is required is the input of load and speed data for the application. This allows for instance a comparison between friction-optimized and standard bearings,

Schaeffler added that customers can delve deeper into this topic on the platform “

The platform also features direct links to Schaeffler’s solutions in the fields of mounting (assembly, fitting) and lubrication, as well as a link to a tool, which shows how the production in many sectors can be made more sustainable using Schaeffler products, the company said.
