All around the globe, European trucks, vans and busses are preferred for the transportation of goods and people. In 2017 the export of heavy-duty vehicles contributed a trade surplus of 4,9 billion euros. This article gives an insight in the growing European commercial vehicle market.
Commercial vehicles play a vital role in the European economy and society in general. Let’s kick off with some statistics from ACEA (the European Automobile Manufacturers’ Association) to prove it.
Getting the most from your metalworking fluid is all about choosing the correct equipment. Using the right equipment makes it possible for you to enhance the life of your fluid, improve its longevity and prevent problems in the future. So, what equipment should you use?
Our first priority is the health and safety of the machine operator and other people within the vicinity of the machine. Our Q8 Brunel range is designed to provide the optimum balance of protection against microbiological contamination without the need for using unnecessarily harmful chemicals providing a safe working environment.
Q8 Brunel XF 527 is an advanced non-cobalt leaching synthetic grinding fluid developed to give the highest quality finish in all operations. It contains no mineral oil and is free from boron, formaldehyde, nitrite and secondary amine. When diluted with water it forms a true solution rather than an emulsion which gives excellent wheel and work piece visibility. Q8 Brunel XF 527 uses the latest in fully synthetic anti-corrosion additive technologies and has outstanding corrosion protection, suitable for all ferrous metals giving rust and stain free machining.
Q8 Volta EP is a high-performance gas and steam turbine oil, based on Group III base fluid. The oil was specially developed for its excellent oxidation stability and wear protection as the oil is in use.
Q8Oils has developed a new Top Tier Heavy Duty Diesel Oil (HDDO): Q8 Formula Truck 6500. This new product range enables extended oil drains in combination with high sulphur diesel fuel.
In a formal letter Scania has confirmed that the new Q8 Formula Truck 8700 FE 5W-30 and 8800 FE 5W-30 meet their LDF-4 specifications.
The evolution of EURO emissions legislation has been key to reduce emission levels of passenger cars (PCMO) and heavy-duty vehicles (HDDO) in Europe.
For more than 30 years Q8Oils has been performing research to answer the typical challenges of gas engine oils. The result is a range of products that prolong the drain interval and engine cleanliness and to increase the life span of cylinder heads, specifically the valves and the vale seats.
The cobalt that is released into metalworking fluid (MWF) as a result of the shaping and sharpening processes may dissolve and circulate in the fluid or become sediment at the bottom of the filter into which it was released.
