The unique and diverse operational needs of industries such as mining, agriculture, and construction further complicate an already challenging environment for off-highway equipment.
Mobile equipment operators share a common goal in the global effort to reduce operational emissions in the off-highway industry. Many operators in these sectors have set short-term emissions targets, and some are evaluating long-term targets to achieve net-zero emissions. However, this process is not as simple as simply replacing equipment or changing operations.
Wednesday the 22ndn.d. In May, Texaco Lubricants and GlobalData will host a webinar to explore some of the options companies must evaluate as they move toward large-scale CO.2 What are the savings and what are the main areas of focus over the next 10 years? Participants will discuss the path to electrification and what this means for operators using internal combustion engines today. Click here to register to watch the webinar.
Many mobile devices in use today are powered by diesel. This has a significant impact on a company’s Scope 1 emissions, or emissions from sources that the company controls or owns. With this in mind, one must question the long-term future of this equipment in its current state, as tightening emissions regulations are underway. Operators are actively looking for alternative options, such as battery electric vehicles and hydrogen-powered machines. Taking these steps will play a vital role in carriers’ long-term ambitions, but the off-highway industry still has a long way to go to realize that goal.
As operators seek to meet their emissions reduction obligations, they face the issue of equipment downtime, a well-known problem across the mining, agriculture and construction sectors. Keeping machines running as long as possible with minimal downtime is no mean feat, especially since the penetration of electricity and hydrogen alternatives is still relatively low.
Internal combustion engine operators therefore have a choice to make. You can choose to continue as usual and operate at a level that lacks efficiency and risks financial loss, or you can choose to take steps that will benefit your business for the time being. During this transition period, many companies are choosing to use renewable diesel and biofuels.
Texaco Lubricants’ Delo product line is well suited to assist operators in this transition. This series offers a variety of lubricants formulated to help provide protection and performance, contributing to improved operational reliability in off-highway applications. Texaco has developed the Texaco Delo 600 ADF, a premium performance synthetic technology long-drain engine specifically focused on diesel particulate filter (DPF) performance and maintenance. The low ash technology incorporated into the product not only helps reduce equipment downtime and improve fuel efficiency, but also helps reduce DPF clogging and maintenance costs. In times of change, the Texaco Delo series provides operators with improved and effective options.
