Liqui Moly develops two new e-mobility products

Liqui Moly has developed a coolant for fuel cells as well as a special transmission fluid solely for electric vehicles. Both are available now. Coolants for electric vehicles have to meet extreme requirements. The Fuel Cell Coolant FCF 20 based on ethylene glycol, combined with non-ionic additives, exhibits very low electrical conductivity, and combines optimum thermal dissipation with outstanding material compatibility and aging stability, the company says.

Further development is aimed at purely battery-powered vehicles, which are much more common on our roads.

“It is a misconception that electric vehicles do not need oil. In fact, they need very high-quality lubricant for the transmission,” reports David Kaiser.

Liqui Moly’s new Top Tec Gear EV 510 gear oil meets the manufacturer requirements of Tesla, the company says.

BorgWarner has agreed to acquire the electric vehicle solution, smart grid and smart energy businesses of Hubei Surpass Sun Electric (SSE). The transaction has an enterprise value of up to RMB 410 million (approx. $59.36 million).

Headquartered in Xiangyang, Hubei province, China, SSE’s electrification business supplies patented electric vehicle charging solutions to customers in China and more than 70 other countries. SSE says it has delivered over 50,000 charging points and has led the engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) of more than 250 charging station sites. SSE’s charging and electrification capabilities in China are expected to complement BorgWarner’s existing capabilities in Europe and North America, the companies say. SSE’s 2022 revenues for the electrification business are expected to be approximately RMB 180 million (approx. $26.06 million).
