It is ideal for the latest generation of Mercedes-Benz M254 and M256 plug-in hybrid petrol engines and can be used in AMG models.

Accordingly, this step will help the FUCHS Group strengthen its product portfolio for specialty lubrication solutions, as well as boosting its global competitiveness - subject to the closing of the deal.

Mission accomplished! Naked bikes will have their own National Championship and the season starts next weekend, on 27 and 28 April, in Estoril. Thanks to the success of the Naked Bikes Trophies, the Portuguese Motorcycling Federation (FPM) decided to debut the naked bikes category in the National Championship. For eight years, businessman Paulo Vicente has promoted and organised the Naked Bikes Trophies - the Aprilia Tuonocup, the BMW S1000R Cup, the Triumph Triple Cup and the Kawasaki Zcup - since 2020 with FUCHS as the official sponsor. ‘I started this activity in 2016 to show that this type of motorbike also has its place in competition. In the last two years it's even been the most participated category,’ explains the mechanical engineer and emphasises: ’The Federation can take the project even further, which is fantastic. As far as the première is concerned, the recipe is set. The big change is the name: the trophies become championships and the winners become champions and are invited to the final gala.’
