E-mobility is unstoppable throughout Europe, the United States, and vast areas of Asia. Despite the fact that the number of conventionally powered vehicles will continue to outnumber alternative drives in the next decades, the German lubricant specialist is ready for the mobility shift. David Kaiser, Head of Research & Development at LIQUI MOLY, asserts: “Every vehicle and every manufacturer have different requirements. Our research ensures that we meet all approvals and requirements and, at the same time, deliver the highest quality.”
At LIQUI MOLY, quality is paramount. Electric car coolants, in particular, must meet stringent criteria. The LIQUI MOLY Fuel Cell Coolant FCF 20, which is based on ethylene glycol and non-ionic additives, has a very low electrical conductivity and offers optimum thermal dissipation, material compatibility, and aging stability. David Kaiser proudly states that FCF 20 is not only designed for thermal release, but also offers the LIQUI MOLY’s typical longterm protection for all components. This product is also suitable for the Toyota Mirai, a pioneer in the field of fuel cell technology.
Battery-powered vehicles, which are far more widespread on our roads, are the focus of the further development. “It is a misconception that electric vehicles do not need oil. In fact, they need very high-quality lubricant for the transmission.” reports David Kaiser. LIQUI MOLY offers the right fluid that is geared towards the high torque of powerful electric motors. The new Top Tec Gear EV 510 gear oil meets the strict manufacturer requirements of Tesla.
With the new products, the full range supplier adds to its 4,000-item offering, rounding off its range to better serve alternative drives.
