Idemitsu launches cooling fluids for Electric Vehicles
I
demitsu has developed a new E AXLE and Electric Parts Cooling Oil for use across drive units, electronics and battery systems of both electric and hybrid vehicles. The new oil can be used for cooling of e-Axle systems, which are increasingly used in EVs and HEVs. It is made to cool the motors and the power control unit (PCU) in the e-axle system instead of using two different oils for the two parts.
According to Idemitsu, the E AXLE and Electric Parts Cooling oil offers the following;
• Simplification of the cooling system as it uses one fluid to cool and lubricate the e-Axle, electronics and battery.
• Enables both superior energy efficiency and lubrication of gears and bearings
• Attains both cooling and insulation of electronic components
The IDEMITSU E AXLE FLUID series of e-Axle oils currently being developed also includes the IDEMITSU E AXLE FLUID TYPEG-LV, which enables high energy savings for speed reducers, as well as the IDEMITSU E AXLE FLUID TYPE-C-MV and the IDEMITSU E AXLE FLUID TYPE-C-FE, which can be used for both motor cooling and gear lubrication with high energy savings.
In addition to the newly developed E AXLE and Electric Parts Cooling Oil, Idemitsu has also developed IDEMITSU NANOUREA, a grease for automotive use in motor spindles, hubs, and ball

Idemitsu is a Japan originated energy company and it has been operational since 1911. It currently has 14,000 employees and deals in lubricants, petrochemicals, renewable energy, petroleum transportation and refinery. .
