Idemitsu launches cooling fluids for Electric Vehicles E-MOBILITY
I
demitsu has developed a new E AXLE and Electric Parts Cooling Oil for use across
drive units, electronics and battery systems of both electric and hybrid vehicles. The new oil can be used for cooling of e-Axle systems, which are increasingly used in EVs and HEVs. It is made to cool the motors and the power control unit (PCU) in the e-axle system instead of using two different oils for the two parts. According to Idemitsu, the E AXLE and Electric Parts Cooling oil offers the following; • Simplification of the cooling system as it uses one fluid to cool and lubricate the e-Axle, electronics and battery.
• Enables both superior energy efficiency and lubrication of
gears and bearings
• Attains both cooling and insulation of electronic components The IDEMITSU E AXLE FLUID series of e-Axle oils currently being developed also includes the IDEMITSU E AXLE FLUID TYPE- G-LV, which enables high energy savings for speed reducers, as well as the IDEMITSU E AXLE FLUID TYPE-C-MV and the IDEMITSU E AXLE FLUID TYPE-C-FE, which can be used for both motor cooling and gear lubrication with high energy savings. In addition to the newly
developed E AXLE and Electric Parts Cooling Oil, Idemitsu has also developed IDEMITSU NANOUREA, a grease for automotive use in motor spindles, hubs, and ball

joint bearings, and the IDEMITSU Original Shock Absorber Fluid for use in shock absorbers. This oil has been designed to deliver high quietness levels, energy savings, and low friction characteristics to enhance the drive experiences of electrically powered vehicles.
