Field-proven bespoke hybrid fluids As the world works to transition to a net zero emissions future, the number of electrified cars in use is continuing to grow. And, with some barriers to battery electric vehicles still to be overcome, hybrids are an increasingly popular choice, which means they will make up a significant part of the vehicle parc for many years to come. This Insight article explores the lubrication challenges hybrids present and how the Infineum Hybrid Test Protocol can be used to test lubricants against them. It also reveals the results of a recent field trial, designed to assess the performance of bespoke hybrid lubricants in tough real-world driving conditions.. |
