China IV Emissions Standard to be Implemented to Promote the Selection and Upgrade of Lubricants

A few days ago, the Ministry of Environmental Protection stated that from July 1, 2013, all production, import, sales and registration of vehicle compression-ignition engines and vehicles must implement the National IV emission standards. According to analysis by industry experts, there is an inevitable link between the upgrade of automobile emission standards and the adjustment of product structure in the lubricants market. The official implementation of the National IV standard will directly promote the oil selection and upgrading of lubricant product standards, which in turn will promote the public's reasonable use of lubricants. The concept of "lubrication".

The National Lubricant Brand's Technical Strength Matches the Demand for the Upgrade of the National Standard In recent years, with the rapid development of the automotive industry, the lubricant oil industry closely related to it has ushered in a golden period of rapid development. Domestic national lubricant companies have also increased their capacity for independent innovation by investing in and investigating technology. The consensus reached in the industry is that the overall technical strength of the Chinese lubricants brand is sufficient to support the upgrade of the quality of lubricants. At present, the strong technical strength of the national lubricants brand has become a strong guarantee for promoting the formulation and implementation of industrial chain standards, and it has also become a driving force for promoting the production and market application of lubricants that meet the national IV emission standards.

The implementation of the National IV standard has undoubtedly set a new benchmark for the lubricant market. Industry experts predict that the implementation of automobile emission standards will give the lubricant market a new direction and help align the marketization of standard grade lubricants. Therefore, products that meet the national IV standard will gradually replace low-level products and become the main force in the future market. For example, with the full implementation of the National IV standard, CI-4, CI-4+, and CJ-4 commercial vehicle diesel engine oils meeting this standard may experience a period of high sales, while passenger car lubricant oil selection standards It will also "upstream." At the same time, experts suggest that vehicle owners do not absolutely adopt the “universal” selection model for emission national standards when choosing lubricants, and more importantly, they must adhere to the concept of “reasonable lubrication” and integrate elements such as vehicle conditions, road conditions, and climate.

Industrial linkage promotes the generation and implementation of lubricants standards. At the same time, the linkage between lubricants and the automobile industry chain has become increasingly apparent. The upgrading of emission standards has directly promoted the progress of engine technology. The lubricant industry is closely related to the development of vehicle engine technology. The national brand represented by Kunlun lubricants is committed to deep cooperation with automobile chain manufacturers and other industrial chain partners through continuous improvement in technological innovation capabilities and lubricant technical service levels. From the beginning of cooperation in vehicle loading and oil production, we are committed to the production of high-quality lubricant products and gradually promote the implementation and implementation of new national standards.

In addition, CNPC is also actively working closely with automobile OEMs such as FAW and Dongfeng, and has always stood at the forefront of engine technology to research and develop lubricant products suitable for local engine technology. For the second time in a row, it supported the "China Hearts" Top Ten engine selection activities, actively promoted communication and exchanges with auto manufacturers, and worked hand in hand with the auto industry chain to develop and implement domestic oil standards. The "Guidelines for the Lubrication of Commercial Vehicles" issued in November 2010 and the guidelines for the lubrication of passenger cars under development will all play an important role in improving the energy conservation and emission reduction levels of China's automotive products.

Under the background of the imminent implementation of the emission of national standards, auto manufacturers, environmentalists, and lubricants manufacturers have their own views, but the common recognition of all sectors of the community is that the sustainable development of the automotive industry chain requires joint efforts of all aspects, and it is necessary to do a good job supporting facilities and standards Landing environment.

Liao Guoqin, general manager of China National Petroleum Corporation, said that as part of the automotive industry chain, Kunlun lubricants actively cooperate with the emission of national standards to upgrade, through product upgrades and marketing, popular science education and other means to help consumers love cars, this is also Kunlun lubricants As a leader in the industry, the brand has no obligation to shoulder. At the same time, the continuous cooperation and exchange between Kunlun Lubricants and the automotive industry chain further promoted the production of adaptive automotive engine oil, which ultimately drove the healthy development of the entire industry and the formation of a “reasonable lubrication” scientific consumption concept, which was not only conducive to energy conservation and emission reduction. The continuous implementation of the work will also help China’s leapfrog development from a large automobile country to a strong automobile country.
