One product line, one goal: greater efficiency

There are many complex applications for specialized lubricants in electric and hybrid vehicles, where these lubricants reduce friction and secure the requisite service life. Thermal Fluids are also playing an increasingly important role in electrified vehicles, as established coolants offer only limited suitability for use in drive and battery systems, primarily due to their electrical conductivity. Protecting the sensitive components from environmental influences represents another challenge that we are happy to accept. We find the right solutions for any vehicle both reliably and flexibly – no matter whether for lubrication, cooling, or protection.

The news is full of new electric and hybrid concepts from vehicle manufacturers. At the same time, we are hearing how cities want to ban diesel vehicles on their streets in the not too distant future. These are clear signs that the industry is changing, challenging our ideas of technology, lubrication – and also mobility. Yes, these are certainly exciting times.
