CONMET Showcases at 2026 Hannover Commercial Vehicle Show, Full Range of Wheel End Solutions Linking Global Complete Vehicles
The 2026 Hannover International Transportation Expo in Germany (IAA TRANSPORTATION 2026) is underway. CONMET, with more than 60 years of wheel end experience and global engineering and manufacturing capabilities, is showcasing wheel end products, lightweight components, and manufacturing capabilities covering different commercial vehicle applications at Hall 21, Booth C28.

Full Range of Wheel End Products for Different Vehicle Platforms.
Based on cumulative global production experience of more than 60 million wheel hubs, CONMET displayed different wheel end solutions including traditional hubs, PreSet®, PreSet Plus®, and lightweight aluminum unitized solutions, and also displayed multiple brake discs, covering different materials, wheel end structures, and braking applications.
“Our goal is not to adopt the same wheel end structure in every market. Instead, we support vehicle manufacturers’ existing systems and apply CONMET’s engineering and manufacturing capabilities to these designs.” — Mike Hurley, Vice President of Global OEM Truck Business at CONMET.
Supporting Multiple Vehicle Models, Serving Different Transportation Scenarios.
CONMET wheel end products have long been used in multiple commercial vehicle markets such as North America, China, and Australia, and are accelerating their deployment in the European and Southeast Asian markets, serving different vehicle platforms and transportation scenarios.
At this IAA, multiple export models from Chinese commercial vehicle manufacturers are equipped with CONMET wheel end products, covering different application scenarios such as long-haul transportation, NEW ENERGY heavy trucks, and urban operations.

From mature domestic applications to continued supply for overseas vehicle models, CONMET continues to serve different vehicle platforms and technology routes, further demonstrating CONMET's global complete vehicle supply experience.
From Engineering Development to Manufacturing.
In addition to wheel end products, CONMET also displayed iron castings, aluminum castings, and related manufacturing capabilities, covering multiple stages such as materials, structural design, validation, and manufacturing.
At the CONMET Technology Center in Vancouver, Washington, USA, more than 80 pieces of specialized testing equipment are used for design validation, concept validation, benchmarking tests, and simulation of real operating conditions, supporting product development and mass production.

Combining capabilities in iron casting, aluminum casting, precision machining, and assembly, CONMET can provide support from engineering development to manufacturing according to different OEM platforms and application requirements.
Global Manufacturing and Sustainability Capabilities.
CONMET has established a global manufacturing network in North America and Asia, supporting customers in different markets through stable manufacturing capabilities and supply chain management.
In terms of sustainable development, CONMET continues to advance manufacturing efficiency improvements and low-carbon production practices. Its China iron casting business uses electric induction melting and uses 100% nuclear power and solar energy, while advancing preparations related to product carbon footprints.

The real-time hub production counter and interactive lightweight weight-comparison installation at the booth also visually demonstrate CONMET's practices in large-scale manufacturing, lightweighting, and sustainable development.

From diverse wheel end structures to practical applications on different vehicle platforms, and then to engineering validation and global manufacturing, this IAA presents a concentrated showcase of the product and manufacturing capabilities CONMET has built around commercial vehicle wheel ends, as well as its global experience in serving different market needs.
