Bacteria that contaminate cutting fluid systems disrupt production and cause problems in the working environment. The FUCHS microbiology lab has developed a ‘toolbox’ that tests cutting fluid resistance in a more intelligent way, making development more accurate and more closely customised.

Waste could be the key to smarter production and lower environmental impact. That’s because some types of waste can be used to produce lubricants – a new approach that can save both money and the environment.

Increasing demands on ever better fuel economy and lower greenhouse gas emissions are calling for more and more complex vehicle constructions. For automatic transmission vehicles, technical developments mean it’s more important than ever to choose the right ATF oil, to ensure the transmission works optimally its entire life.

The market for electric cars is setting new records. It is redrawing the map in the automotive industry, but also affecting lubricant manufacturers and other suppliers to the industry. Read more about a changing industry, where technical solutions and attitudes towards mobility are currently being challenged.

X as in eXceptional. X as in eXtreme. These words sum up the properties of the XTL® technology in our engine oils: exceptional performance, in extreme conditions and temperatures. These oils reduce fuel and oil consumption, while also improving cold-start properties.

Machine breakdown and unplanned production stoppages are expensive. Quite often, the problems are related to the oil. Approximately 80 percent of breakdowns are caused by contaminated oil and poor filtration. This can be avoided by means of regular oil analyses.
