The more we engage in and learn about sustainability work, the greater the insight we have into the area’s complexity. Anyone wishing to take their responsibility and do what they can to reduce climate impact has a lot of different aspects to consider – and we have come to realise that the best results call for collaboration with others. One example is FUCHS’ collaboration with transport and logistics company FREJA.

Every year around Christmas, hundreds of millions of foil-packed chocolate Santas are sold worldwide. A symbol of the festive season, a promise of joy, holidays, family traditions, Christmas food and gifts. And beneath the glittery foil, the sweet chocolate. But what are we actually eating?

Charging times of just ten minutes? This could soon become a reality for electric vehicles. It is all made possible by immersion cooling, in which technical components are fully submerged in FUCHS thermofluids. The process can also be used for heat management at data centers.

We increasingly hear our customers expressing a strong desire to develop their business in a more sustainable direction and become fossil-free. We also hear that it can be hard to find sustainable alternatives, as well as concerns that sustainable products could lead to lower performance. In fact, the opposite is true.

Today’s space industry is vastly different than it was just a decade ago. Gone are the days when space exploration was limited to government-funded missions. Today, private companies within and outside of the aerospace sector are rushing to explore the great unknown with both large and small satellites and spacecraft. With more players, more missions, and large constellations of satellites, the need for innovative space lubricants will continue to grow.

Imagine sitting in your new electric car and driving away. It’s quite a new experience to glide along in silence, isn’t it? But actually, is it really as quiet as you thought it would be?!

Metalworking is a major area for lubrication – and also one undergoing major changes! To follow the development of metalworking – such a powerful and precision-led field – and also watching it evolve so dramatically as it’s challenged by new 3D printing technology, is fascinating indeed.

It’s still relatively unusual to hear eco-products and heavy diesels being mentioned in the same sentence. This is a shame, as there are now ultra-modern, environmentally sound alternatives that perform at least as well as other modern engine oils designed for new generation engines. PLANTO MOT SAE 10W-40 is a high-performance, low-ash engine oil, specially developed for machines used in agriculture, forestry and construction – primarily for use in sensitive environments and close to water.

Swedish steel giant SSAB was phasing out coal from its steel operations, and also wanted to change to more environmentally sustainable lubricants – so they contacted FUCHS. The close partnership led to a unique, biodegradable hydraulic fluid for the steel industry and hydraulic systems.

Do you find that deposits and other oil residues can cause major problems in circulation and hydraulic systems? If so, you’re not alone. FUCHS has a simple, highly efficient solution to this problem: RENOLIN CLEAN.
