Accelerating decarbonization efforts in the commercial vehicle (CV) sector are promoting the deployment of low- and zero-emission technologies. Electrification remains a viable option for CV applications. Electrification of CVs will drive technological innovation, as performance requirements for the various fluids consumed in electric CVs are different from those used in conventional internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles. Electric vehicles (EVs) will herald a new lubricants market niche focused on the lubrication needs of EVs specifically used in commercial applications.
