Efforts to reduce fuel consumption and CO2 emissions in transportation were a topic even before energy prices reached their current heights. Modern technologies in combination with better driving are part of the solution. One rarely considered factor in energy consumption is engine oil. Low viscosity, heavy-duty fuel economy performance engine oils can cut fuel consumption by anywhere from 1.3 to 3 %, depending on the engine generation.

• 1.9 trillion tkm (tonne-kilometers) was the EU’s total transportation volume in 2021.
• 2021 saw 10 529 000 000 tkm transported in Switzerland.
• 28.4 million liters can potentially be saved per year if diesel consumption could be lowered by 1,8 % for only 50 % of all tonne-kilometers carried in Switzerland (average consumption 30 l/100 tkm).

Especially in modern trucks, innovative motor oils are a fluid element in engine design. With three high-performance, low-viscosity Fuel Economy engine oils in the XERUS familiy, MOTOREX is further expanding its broad range of fuel-efficient oils for the latest generation of trucks.

Extremely low-viscosity engine oils for heavy diesel trucks (note the manufacturer's instructions) are part of a comprehensive set of measures to meet ever more stringent consumption and emissions targets. Reduced HTHS (high temperature high shear) values allow XERUS high-performance fuel economy engine oils to achieve further significant fuel efficiency savings compared to normal fuel economy oils. Performance-optimized, low-viscosity base fluids in combination with innovative additives and blending processes provide the highest levels of durability and protection against wear. XERUS engine oils are formulated for the latest generation of ultra-efficient commercial vehicle engines and are not backward-compatible (i.e. they cannot be used in older models).

Since XERUS engine oils are not backward-compatible, fuel-efficient fleet oils such as MOTOREX NEXUS or FOQUS QTM can be used to help reduce consumption in older trucks. Your MOTOREX representative will be glad to advise you
