Electric motors and associated gearboxes are becoming increasingly compact, with high requirements in terms of energy efficiency and heat dissipation. The properties of IKV-TRIBOGEAR PG make them ideal for electric vehicle (EV) fluids.

 

EV fluids must meet a range of requirements that include traditional lubrication capabilities such as friction reduction and energy efficiency, as well as heat transfer, oxidation stability, temperature resistance, conductivity and durability. Efficient cooling is particularly important in today's EVs, as electric motor drives generate significant heat, which must be removed from the drive unit. Only highly efficient electric vehicle powertrains, supported by high performance lubricants, are able to deliver the longer distances that customers desire.
