Infineum and Tata Motors Group receive recognition for aco-developed engine oil

I nfineum and Tata Motors Group have been recognized for leading the Indian lubricant market in developing the first heavy-duty engine lubricant designed to reduce vehicle emissions and improve air quality. At the recent SIAT 2024 conference, Tata was awarded ‘Best Indian Paper on Environmental Pollution’ for a joint paper with Infineum titled “Development of Low Viscosity Fuel Economy Engine Oil for Commercial Vehicles.”

Fully commercialized for both factory and service fill, the next-generation ultra-low viscosity (3.0 HTHS) lubricant marks a tremendous leap forward, enabling Tata to achieve significant carbon footprint reductions across its commercial vehicle portfolio.

India’s burgeoning vehicle population makes emissions reduction a top priority, and tackling this challenge was the cornerstone of the joint development between Tata and Infineum. Jamie Musmacher, Infineum Commercial Engines Director, expressed his pride in the team’s accomplishment, stating, “Not only is this merit a fantastic accomplishment and an honour, but it’s also a testament to the team’s effort over the last five years to develop the relationship with Tata, and ultimately deliver a solution worthy of this public recognition.”

S K Raghuram, the Head of Infineum’s India office, added: “What started as a product development effort aimed at top-tier HD performance with Tata created a new category for factory and service fill. We are proud to be part of this ground-breaking initiative that enhances commercial vehicle performance and contributes to environmental sustainability. We look forward to continuing our successful partnership with Tata and driving further innovations in the industry.”

Infineum further said, “Our journey with Tata Motors began in 2018 when they expressed interest in launching a fully synthetic premiumquality fuel economy engine oil. Infineum’s team worked closely with Tata throughout the development process, ensuring their requirements and values were at the forefront of our efforts. We saw this as an opportunity to showcase our leading-edge technology to develop a top-tier heavy-duty engine oil that meets Tata’s specific needs while contributing to environmental sustainability and comfortably meeting the requirements of Bharat VI stage II emissions limits.” .
