The challenge of sustainability cannot be won alone, all the elements involved must play their part, from engines to the choice of materials, from on-board technology to the fuels and lubricants that play a central role in ensuring better vehicle efficiency and thus cleaner emissions. TotalEnergies manufactures and distributes lubricants in Italy and at Transpotec Logitec it will talk about its commitment to decarbonisation: "TotalEnergies," explains Mauro Mosca, Marketing Director of TotalEnergies Italia, "has been at the forefront of the production and marketing of lubricants for many years, with the aim of helping to reduce emissions. Formulations designed to be compatible with exhaust emission treatment systems ensure maximum energy efficiency, and reduce the Fuel Economy and the resulting CO₂ emissions. Furthermore, our plastic packaging is produced with an important recycling component, also helping reduce our CO₂ emissions. Our range also includes lubricants formulated with biodegradable bases, to limit damage to the environment in the event of accidental spills.

At the event, the company, which boasts more than 200 official approvals and compliance with all the latest and most stringent international specifications, will be present with its range of products structured to fully meet all requirements, both newer and older engines and in all conditions of use. "Transpotec Logitec will also be an opportunity to show visitors our range of the latest generation of XFE lubricants or specifically dedicated to hybrid, electric vehicles developed together with leading manufacturers.

“To fulfil its ambition of becoming a leader in the sustainable biofuel markets,” Mosca continues, “TotalEnergies has transformed its refinery in La Mède, France, into a world-class biorefinery with a production capacity of 500,000 tonnes of HVO-type biofuels per year”. In addition to HVO, which is used in diesel, the company also produces ETBE, which, when added to petrol, enriches it with oxygen, reducing carbon monoxide and unburned hydrocarbons by 10-15% during combustion. The company offers HVO100 compliant with EN 15940 to provide a fully renewable alternative to diesel, compatible with the prevailing engines of the HD target. With HVO, better cold-start engine operability and more stable product storage is achieved compared to those obtained with conventional diesel fuel. Finally, HVO ensures a very significant reduction (50%-90%) in carbon emissions, measured from a well-to-wheel perspective, and local pollutant emissions such as particulate matter and Nox.

Another interesting product is Excellium Concentrate Diesel which, by improving engine operation over time, helps reduce pollutant emissions (particulates, carbon monoxide, unburned hydrocarbons, nitrogen oxide) and exhaust emissions in heavy vehicles; while decreasing the fuel consumption directly reduces CO₂ equivalent emissions by 4.2%.
