Review of bauma 2025 in Munich
Innovate, Electrify, Sustain: Our Vision for Tomorrow's Construction
After an exciting week full of innovative solutions and forward-looking discussions, the world's leading trade fair for construction machinery has come to a successful end. Visitors from all over the world came together to experience the latest developments in the construction industry. The focus of the event was the decarbonisation of construction sites through climate-neutral drive concepts - a decisive step towards a sustainable and efficient construction world.
As a leading company, Schaeffler actively contributed to the discussion with its innovative approaches. With products from the fields of electromechanical actuators, electric motors, sensors and mechatronics as well as proven high-performance bearings and drive components, we are setting new standards for efficiency and electrification.
Be inspired by the pioneering solutions presented at bauma 2025 and join us on our journey towards a sustainable future for the construction industry.
Efficiency in Heavy-Duty Tasks
As a system supplier, Schaeffler offers manufacturers of construction machinery a wide range of products that we’re constantly adapting to global market demands and trends. At the core of our product offerings are sealed, precision bearing solutions with a high power density, long service life, and maximum ease of maintenance. Right from the development phase, we support our customers with our application expertise, and our comprehensive services make us a reliable partner throughout the product lifecycle.
The electrification of drives and auxiliary units and the integration of digital technologies are also growing trends in the construction machinery sector. We support the development of more intelligent, efficient, and resource-saving systems with electric motors, actuators, and sensors that are perfectly aligned with harsh offroad conditions.
Challenges and Trends
The development of offroad machines is being driven by global phenomena like an increasing awareness of environmental and climate issues as well as population growth. Policies on the international, national, and local levels are defining ever stricter limits for CO₂, noise, and pollutant emissions.
Urbanization, the growing demand for living space and infrastructure, and demographic change have led to a shortage of resources and skilled workers. Like the automotive industry, the construction machinery sector is increasingly relying on electrification, digitization, and autonomization.
Applications
Products
Bearing solutions for construction machinery have to withstand extremely harsh ambient conditions as well as specific conditions like extreme vibrations, high vibration levels, heat, and heavy loads at low speeds. Schaeffler Group engineers work closely with manufacturers to develop products that meet these strict requirements.
Current market demands like digitalization, automation, sustainability, and energy efficiency are also being integrated in new developments. The electrification of drives and auxiliary units is the greatest lever for reducing CO₂ emissions and for the intelligent connection of construction machinery. Schaeffler’s product range includes electric motors, sensors, and actuators that are designed for the offroad market.
