Euro VI regulations represent a new challenge in terms of the investigation into new lubrication technologies and for a manufacturer such as OLIPES it brings the opportunity of showcasing its DNA of innovation, client satisfaction and reduction of the environmental impact.
With this foundation, it is easy to understand the enormous effort made by the company, not only to adapt itself to the requirements of major automobile manufacturers in terms of lubrication for their motors and gear boxes, but also to get ahead of the needs of the market and of society. In this sense, OLIPES has a wide range of lubricants adapted to the needs of new Euro 6 drives, with more than 50 new products launched onto the market each year as part of a portfolio of more than 2,500 references aimed at 75 sectors of the markets, which are exported to more than 45 countries.
Training will be vital for professionals in the automobile sector
Since the bursting onto the scene of our society of smartphones and the incorporation of new technologies into our vehicles, the landscape around motors has changed more at a technological level in the last three years than in the previous 30. Today, technology becomes obsolete in less than one year and industrial expertise is doubling every 18 months. This means that it is necessary for a mechanic to continue their training in several areas, both in terms of managing their business as well as keeping up with repairs. The innovations that have been integrated by the sector over the last two decades, such as direct injection in diesel and petrol engines, three-way catalytic converters, EGR, valves, particulate filters, selective catalytic reduction (SCR), are nothing in comparison with what is sitting next to them: hybrid motors and electric motors that can be plugged in, automatic nine- and ten-speed gear boxes, engines adaptor for use with LPG, assisted and autonomous driving, 360 connectivity or augmented reality - these will be the great challenges to be faced by mechanics in upcoming years.
