However, this doesn’t mean every lubricant will rise to the same standard. While it is relatively easy to make a low viscosity oil, it is more difficult to make one that also provides excellent durability throughout its lifetime, which can be proven under field trial conditions. Therefore, only the most effective – and efficient – lubricants become recommended by leading manufacturers.
The benefits of following the formula When OEMs make their trucks more efficient by design through the shaping of components around industry- leading technologies – such as low viscosity lubrication – fleet operators should take notice. After all, if trucks are designed this way to meet efficiency standards, it makes sense for operators to embrace these recommendations to maximise potential benefits.
Take lubrication, for instance. Just like OEMs in the chain above them, market-leading fleets have largely realised the potential that lubricants hold for their business, creating a professionally run maintenance programme that has the latest lubricant technology at its core. The result is that the whole powertrain is subsequently working towards the TCO reduction of their fleet.
Better yet, making the switch is easy – it simply requires you to change your lubricants during your regular service. The new, fuel-efficient lubricants can then be left to work as you enjoy the benefits. There is no costly driver training or performance measurement, just the lower drag of the lubricant in your machinery allowing for greater fuel economy.
Multiply your oil’s impact with a proven partner As the industry faces increasing pressure to reduce emissions and enhance efficiency, adopting advanced lubrication technology becomes not just a smart choice but a necessary step for fleets. By prioritising lubricant selection, fleets can contribute to a more sustainable transportation future while optimising their operational performance.
