The two brands have combined their expertise to craft lubricants that keep both older and state of the art vehicles moving for longer. The marine range caters to boats, yachts, and cruise ships, while the on and off-road vehicles, including trucks, heavy machinery, and power generators, benefit from core features such as temperature control across seasons, reduced friction, and comprehensive cleaning and protection.
Each fluid within the co-branded product line undergoes rigorous testing to ensure optimal performance and durability. Leveraging the opportunity to conduct direct testing on FPT Industrial engines, this range is endorsed by FPT Industrial to uphold PLI’s specified oil drain interval. Specifically engineered to enhance engine durability and extend service life, these products further maximize uptime and fuel efficiency, minimizing unexpected downtime.
Moreover, the PLI-FPT Industrial co-branded product range not only safeguards the engine but also extends its lifecycle, thereby minimizing both fuel and oil consumption to maintain lower emissions. This approach aims to reduce the total cost of ownership, allowing owners to maximize returns on their investments.
“We are proud to introduce the PLI-FPT Industrial co-branded product range, a testament to our unwavering commitment to innovation and providing tangible solutions for all applications,” stated Giuseppe Pedretti, EMEA Regional Managing Director at PETRONAS Lubricants International. “Our collaboration with FPT Industrial represents our commitment to providing high quality, tangible solutions, and we are confident that our latest range of products will meet these applications.”
“FPT Industrial engine technology has made great strides in recent years, with a particular focus on sustainability and efficiency,” says Sergio Carpentiere, Vice President of Customer Service & Digital at FPT Industrial. “With this new launch in collaboration with PETRONAS Lubricants International we want to provide to our customers the right tool to maintain this exceptional performance overtime and guarantee a full complete product offering for the engine life.”
