The circular economy is key to reaching net zero

That’s why at GKN Automotive we remanufacture sideshafts, and have done so since the 1980s. Our sites in Spain and France produce 300,000+ OE-quality remanufactured sideshafts each year for OEM and aftermarket customers. 

At just one of our plants, remanufacturing saves 3,780 tonnes of steel, cuts 22,680 MWh of energy, and avoids 7,144 tonnes of CO₂ annually. 

Recognised with an EcoVadis Platinum rating, this reflects our commitment to sustainability - delivering performance, quality, and progress toward net zero.
