In this article published in Lube magazine, Afton explores how an agile lubricant industry creates value in emerging markets.

The world's first Electrified Transmission Fluid additive specifically created for all eAxle types, including direct-cooled electric motors with multi-speed systems.

Understanding these new demands and the potential  contradictory impact on other performance needs is the lubricant formulator's role. Understanding the evolutionary path that engineers have followed to enhance the internal combustion engine's efficiency in modern designs provides the key insight fo...

Adam Banks presented 'eMobility and Future Lubricants' at the ICIS Middle East Base Oil and Lubricants Conference in October 2020

Learn more about Gasoline Direct Injection systems and the right combination of fuel, air and ignition timing needed to deliver the required vehicle operation.

To understand the myriad lubrication needs of eAxles, it helps to define what an eAxle is and highlight the many types of technology it may contain.

Cylinder deactivation is when a number of cylinders are shut off under low-speed and low-load engine conditions. Find out more.

Engine downsizing is the use of a smaller engine, which is boosted with a turbocharger, replacing a larger naturally-aspirated engine. Find out more.

GDI engines tend to produce more particulates than PFI engines. This is because there is less time for the fuel to evaporate and mix inside the combustion chamber. Find out more.

In Gasoline Direct Injection engines, the fuel is injected directly into the cylinder from either – the intake side – OR – the centre of the combustion chamber. Find out more.
