Trelleborg Sealing Solutions introduced a new range of specialized sealing components called Turcon SG rotary seals for challenging off-highway environments.

The low-friction system maintains airtightness and, when paired with central tire inflation systems (CTIS), supports up to 15% reduced fuel consumption and lower CO2 emissions. The seals also boast an extended service life exceeding 10,000 hours.
