“Dayco has the most silent, maintenance-free belts, which can be customized to customer requirements,” states Wouter Nijenhuis, Dayco’s Executive Vice President of OE Sales & Business Development. “They have best-in-class NVH performance, with no lubrication required.” The company’s recent partnership with BMW Motorrad is an example of Dayco’s goal to make the future sustainable for the next generation. Dayco developed and delivered a tailored final drive belt solution for BMW’s CE 04 electrically powered, zero-emissions scooter.
“Our belt drive for the BMW CE 04 is clean, lightweight and, in contrast to the conventional chain, doesn’t stretch, which makes it the safest solution for all the personal mobility drivetrain applications,” explains Nijenhuis. This optimized complete belt drive solution was designed and developed with close engineering support and a strong partnership with BMW Motorrad. Dayco’s belt allows the BMW CE 04 to run smoothly and silently.
For more than 115 years, Dayco has delivered innovative energy-saving belt drive solutions with reduced power losses for the next generation of scooters, bikes, e-bikes, and motorcycles. Dayco also continues to embrace new technologies and smart partnerships to achieve a sustainable environment. This collaboration between Dayco and BMW Motorrad is a stepping stone on the path to reducing CO2 emissions with chain to belt conversion, focusing on the urban mobility segment.
