TotalEnergies presented a wide range of premium products for heavy vehicles at Expo Transporte

TotalEnergies presented at the Transport Expo a wide range of premium products and tailor-made solutions to improve operational efficiency in heavy vehicle fleet management.

For two days, the multi-energy company present in 150 countries welcomed hundreds of clients and visitors to its stand at La Rural at the 13th international exhibition of equipment and technology for freight and passenger transport. It was present there with its range of lubricants and specialties for trucks and buses developed in its state-of-the-art R&D centre in France.

“Interacting with our customers is an invaluable opportunity to share experiences. Events such as Expo Transporte not only allow us to showcase the best of TotalEnergies, but also offer a space to highlight and reaffirm the benefits of our products and services,” pointed out Jonathan KleinerMarketing Manager of TotalEnergies Argentina.

According to the company’s experts, the products of TotalEnergies Increase uptime and reduce maintenance costs, thanks to the RUBIA premium range, tested in real fleet conditions and 200 heavy vehicle manufacturers worldwide and thanks to Luab ANACthe international oil analysis service developed by TotalEnergies.

Diego TricciDirector of Sales and Marketing at TotalEnergies, highlighted the quality of lubricants for automobiles (motorcycles, light vehicles and transport) and the specialty segment that includes coolants, additives and greases. “With these products we are a strategic partner for transporters because the first challenge that a transport company has is to choose the vehicle that best suits its needs, but the second is to extend the useful life of that vehicle, and that is where maintenance costs come in and how to extend that useful life.”Tricci said during the opening of the stand.

What are the benefits of TotalEnergies RUBIA lubricants?

The range of BLONDE lubricants It was tested by heavy vehicle manufacturers and meets the most demanding engine specifications for the transport and agricultural segment, which gives it the versatility to rationalize its use in multi-brand fleets.

In addition, they are made with “Fuel Economy” technologies to minimize fuel consumption without compromising engine protection and “Low SAPS” which generate less sulphated ash, phosphorus and sulphur than conventional oils. According to Tricci, These lubricant technologies allow savings of up to 3% in fuel, which improves the profitability and efficiency of a fleet.

Another benefit is the engine protectionwhich maximizes the useful life of vehicles and reduces mechanical wear, because it contains special molecules that form a highly efficient lubricant “film”, even at extreme temperatures; they have High deposit control capacity, high oxidation resistance and high viscosity stability (high temperatures, mechanical stresses).

These improvements generate a reduction of operating costswhich means less lost profits due to unscheduled stops; lower cost of oil changes due to optimization of intervals between changes, and lower operating costs (fuel, spare parts, repairs, etc.)

The wide range of RUBIA lubricants and coolants

The RUBIA premium product range includes lubricants and coolants:

• OPTIMAL BLONDEwith Inno-Boost technology, which improves viscosity increase by up to 76% with use, compared to API CK-4 limits tested in Volvo T13.
• BLONDE TIR, with Pro-Efficient technology, which reduces engine wear by up to 81% compared to ACEA E4 limits.
• BLONDE FLEETwith Clean-Shield technology, which reduces deposit formation by up to 67% compared to the limits established by the API CH-4 standard.
• TRAXIUM, TRANSTEC AND FLUIDMATIChigh-tech lubricants for manual and automated transmissions, axles and gearboxes.
• SUPRA GEC AND GEC 50, GLACELF SUPRA, COOLELF SUPRA 50 AND COOLELF SI-OAT, concentrated and diluted coolants to prevent engine overheating.

Why are TotalEnergies RUBIA lubricants recommended?

The BLONDE lubricants They are recommended because they are innovative, efficient and environmentally friendly. These products were developed by more than 130 researchers and are manufactured by 5,800 employees in the 42 plants that the company owns. TotalEnergies around the world. But they are also recommended because they are used in extreme conditions in major international motor racing competitions.

This was explained by Tricci, after launching a racing car simulator so that customers and visitors to the stand could take part in the opportunity to enjoy the experience of getting into a real TC. “Our products, beyond being approved, we always try to take them to the maximum demands of the laboratory and competition tests. We are present at the 24 hours of Le Mans, where we test renewable fuels, and in the different categories. Historically we have been involved with Formula 1, the Dakar, MotoGP and the WRC (World Rally Championship). In Argentina, for several years now, through the ELF brand, we have sponsored historic drivers such as Juan María Traverso, Guillermo Ortelli and now we are with Mariano Werner.”listed the Commercial and Marketing Director.

One of the main attractions of the Expo Transporte was the TotalEnergies simulator. The winner (who made it to the podium) was invited to see Mariano Werner’s TC car.

What is TotalEnergies’ Lub Anac service?

The Lub Anac service is a preventive maintenance and fleet monitoring tool for vehicles, based on the analysis of the oils used.

This is a professional study to ensure optimal performance of each component (engine, differential and transmission), which has 40 years of experience and has been in operation for more than 7 million diagnoses carried out.

“Regardless of whether it is a prestigious brand, if the vehicle is not well maintained and well looked after, its useful life will really be shortened. What the analyses we propose do is a preventive task. We have a laboratory that can be local or international that detects anomalies with the oil analysis that the engine may have before breaking down,” Tricci stressed.

This additional that provides Total Enegies It allows you to maximize the useful life of your equipment, prevent breakdowns, and safely optimize change intervals, which also reduces fleet operating costs, a condition that all transporters are looking for today.
