Shanghai, China - Lubrizol, a global leader in specialty chemicals, recently announced that its cutting-edge lubricant technology has played a key role in the successful launch of a new hybrid-specific engine oil developed by Jiangsu Lopal Tech Co., Ltd. (Lopal), one of China's leading independent lubricant brands. This collaboration not only highlights Lubrizol's critical role in driving the growth of China's hybrid vehicle market and its low-carbon transformation but also reinforces its position as a technology leader in the rapidly evolving new energy vehicle (NEV) lubricant sector.
The milestone was celebrated at Lopal's recent product launch event, where both companies marked the debut of the new hybrid lubricant. Lopal leveraged Lubrizol® PV1710 additive technology to co-develop a tailor-made solution designed to meet the specific demands of hybrid powertrains. Lubrizol® PV1710 is a next-generation additive platform engineered to meet the latest ILSAC GF-7A and GF-7B specifications for passenger car engines. It delivers enhanced protection for hybrid engines and significantly elevates overall product performance. Based on extensive bench testing, the formulation also offers improved emulsion stability, helping the lubricant maintain robust flowability at low temperatures-even in the presence of water ingress. This collaboration exemplifies Lubrizol's ability to quickly and effectively respond to local customer needs with high-performance, market-driven solutions, while also showcasing its technological edge in demanding hybrid applications.
As a publicly listed company and a key player in China's lubricant industry, Lopal commands strong brand influence and a well-established distribution network in the passenger car motor oil (PCMO) market. The partnership combines Lubrizol's technological innovation with Lopal's market leadership to deliver a next-generation solution tailored for the hybrid era.
"We are thrilled to deepen our collaboration with Lopal to introduce this forward-looking hybrid lubricant product," said Henry Liu, Vice President of Lubrizol Asia Pacific and Lubrizol Additives APAC. "This partnership is a powerful testament to our localized strategy and our commitment to empowering strategic customers in capturing high-growth market opportunities. Lubrizol is dedicated to being a trusted technology partner, helping customers stay ahead in an increasingly competitive landscape. Our expanding partnership with Lopal lays a strong foundation for Lubrizol's long-term sustainable growth in China."
Liu added, “Together, we’re offering the market a high-performance hybrid lubricant solution that supports the transition of China’s automotive industry toward more efficient and lower-carbon hybrid technologies, contributing meaningfully to the industry’s sustainable future.”
The success of this new hybrid lubricant paves the way for deeper cooperation between Lubrizol and Lopal across broader strategic areas. Lubrizol remains committed to investing in innovation, strengthening local partnerships, and unlocking the full potential of lubricant technology. Working together with industry partners, Lubrizol is proud to contribute to a more efficient future for the global automotive sector.
