    Pressure to perform: future-proofing hydraulic fluids While many hydraulic trends are long-standing, a new pressure is poised to bring fundamental change to the industrial fluids market. The European Green Deal is set to bring significant change to the chemical industry making chemicals much more challenging and expensive to import, handle and use within Europe. Restrictions on the use of high hazard substances and the requirements to increase circularity and reduce carbon footprint bring challenges to existing well-established lubricant formulations.  This article explores how we believe that now is the time for hydraulic fluid manufacturers to work with their base oil and additive suppliers to develop and test future-proof solutions. Helping to ensure that fluid portfolios remain appropriately labelled and focused on end-user needs.

    Afton to present on reducing emissions at this year’s Lube Expo Europe (17-19 September in Dusseldorf, Germany) Alan Henderson, Marketing Manager for Heavy Duty Engine Oils in EMEAI, will be part of a panel covering Enabling Technologies for Reducing Scope 1 Emissions in Heavy Duty and Off-road Applications on Tuesday 17 September at 3.30pm. The reduction of scope 1 carbon emissions is high on the agenda for many sectors traditionally powered by diesel generators and ICE engines. The European Commission is currently reviewing a proposal to decrease CO2 emissions per km from new HDV by 90% by 2040, as compared to the reference period (1 July 2019 – 30 June 2020), with intermediate targets for 2030 (45%) and 2035 (65%). In addition, Heavy Duty and Off-road Tier 1s and OEMs are looking at electrification to further reduce their scope 1 emissions.
