The lubricant industry’s shift toward higher-quality base oils, such as Group II and III, results in higher-quality used oil generated at the end of its service life. This, combined with better collection practices and infrastructure, gives rise
With the electrification of commercial fleets gathering increasing momentum, driven by market pull, sustainability initiatives, and regulatory support — and the same thing true for other transformative forces such as telematics and digitalization — the HDMO (heavy-duty motor oil) industry is in transition. Although these and other advancements have the potential to substantially reduce the
Electric trucks are currently enjoying the spotlight, thanks to partnerships being formed between OEMs and EV startups, automated microfactories where delivery vans and buses will be assembled by multitasking robots, and Mack Trucks’ launch of an all-inclusive VaaS program to help simplify the purchase process for its battery-electric truck. But what does this mean for
