PRODUCTS FOR GREATER ENERGY EFFICIENCY
However, it is often the usage phase that impacts the eco-efficiency analysis across the entire value chain and lubricants are an important adjusting element for environmentally friendly industry. „Our products reduce friction, wear, and corrosion, whether in machines and transmissions, modern high-speed trains, wind farms, or hydroelectric power plants,“ emphasizes Lindemann. „And even though we‘re not exactly a classic ‚green‘ company, we still see ourselves as technological pioneers in our sector who are continuously working to steadily optimize the performance of our products and develop innovations. One current example is the research into an ‚e-engine oil‘ for electric cars that not only lubricates the transmission but also cools e-machines and power electronics – a fluid with many talents that impresses particularly with a significantly greater heat capacity and better heat conductivity compared to conventional engine oils. This is a really important property for the operation of new e-cars, as temperature peaks are reached in system operation that have to be reduced again quickly.“ Such an engine oil could also stand up to the challenges of the ‚e-car of the future‘ with revolutions of 30,000 to 50,000, and stands for a sustainable business policy that focuses on long-term developments.
