Video One: Introducing HDEO market trends

The Commercial Vehicle (CV) sector is constantly evolving due to ever-increasing environmental and commercial pressures. At Afton Chemical, we have identified the following five key trends influencing this sector: 

1. Lowering total cost of ownership
2. Reducing emissions 
3. Improving fuel economy
4. Higher power density of engines; and 
5. Hybridization and electrification of CVs

Watch our video below with Dr. Alisdair Brown, Afton’s R&D Technical Director for Engine Oil Global Development, as we look at each of these trends in more detail.



You can also watch the other two videos in this series: 

• The investments Afton has made to our heavy duty engine oil (HDEO) additive range to meet the demands of these trends
• How HDEO specifications are evolving around the world to meet differing legislative needs across our global regions

Thanks to the technical expertise Afton has across the globe, we are well-placed to answer any questions arising from these changes. For more information, fill in the website form or contact your Afton Chemical representative.
