NTN Europe is strengthening its position in the shock absorber market with 70 new references, covering a wide range of European, Asian and American vehicles. Tested by an independent organisation, its SNR range stands out for its superior performance and original equipment quality.
Extended coverage to meet market needs
Launched in 2023, the SNR range of shock absorbers is experiencing strong growth. With 70 new references covering European, Asian and American vehicles, the equipment manufacturer is strengthening its position in the aftermarket. This extension increases the coverage of the European car fleet by 3%, with a majority of front shock absorbers (70%). The objective is clear: to achieve 90% coverage by the end of 2025.
Performance validated by independent tests
NTN Europe has entrusted the evaluation of its shock absorbers to the École de la Dynamique Automobile (EDA). The results confirm superior performance:
- 9/10 in the VDA avoidance test, guaranteeing excellent safety in the event of an emergency manoeuvre.
- 8.5/10 in road behaviour, offering stability and optimal control.
- 8.5/10 in comfort, ensuring a smooth and pleasant ride.
These performances place the SNR range among the best on the market in terms of safety and comfort.
A guarantee of quality and reliability for the aftermarket
Designed according to original equipment standards, SNR shock absorbers are easy to install, optimise driving comfort and enhance safety. Thanks to its expertise in Corner Wheel and its industrial partnership with LTM, NTN Europe guarantees high-performance solutions for professionals and motorists.
NTN Europe is continuing to expand its range and plans further extensions by the end of 2025 to offer an ever more comprehensive range.
