Did you know that over one-third of European drivers now choose hybrid vehicles? ⚡⛽
For workshops, that means a growing need to understand the mix of combustion and electric systems that define hybrid technology.
Servicing these vehicles requires more than traditional know-how. Mechanics must account for:
• Higher operating temperatures caused by compact power units and regenerative braking systems
• Increased fuel dilution and moisture build-up due to frequent start-stop cycles
• Special thermal management for batteries and power electronics
• Specific lubricant formulations that protect engine and e-motor components under variable loads
Hybrids demand fluids that balance fuel efficiency, electrical compatibility, and long-term protection - a new generation of lubricants built for evolving powertrains.
