technologies that support improved fuel economy across various engine types, in particular addressing performance of hybrid vehicle engines at low temperature operation.
EVs are likely to grow steadily in the EU and more rapidly in China, reducing dependence on PCMOs in those markets. Other regions, however, such as Latin America, Africa, the Middle East and Southeast Asia, are likely to see continued PCMO growth.
In the heavy-duty segment, the trend towards thinner oils has continued, with more and more OEMs moving to 0W-20, 5W-20, and even 0W-16 viscosities. This is an area in which lubricant producers can help contribute to the reduction of CO2
emissions intensity
and fuel economy improvements in diesel-powered vehicles. Currently Chevron Oronite supplies additive technologies in the ultra-low viscosity range delivering both fuel economy and reliability.
Proponents of hydrogen power see it as the logical successor to diesel, mainly because the engine technologies can be very similar, and it is less of a manufacturing leap for OEMs than electrification. H2 ICEs will need heavy-duty engine oils. As a leading global additive supplier, Chevron Oronite invested in partnerships with OEMs and lubricant marketers,
which has enabled a deeper understanding of specific challenges of this engine technology and development of formulation solutions that are designed for hydrogen engines.
The past few years have shown that the road to carbon neutrality is unpredictable and many questions remain. How will consumer demand for new energy vehicles evolve in the coming years? When will new engine technologies and vehicle types be available at scale? When will the infrastructure be in place to support them? These are some of the uncertainties confronting the industry. The one certainty is that there is no single solution. OEMs are working on more options in parallel than ever, and the lubrication industry must prepare for a world of powertrain diversity. Chevron Oronite is working with our lubricant partners to help the industry to be prepared wherever the road leads.
