CNH and Petronas launch circular economy-based lubricant

CNH, in partnership with Petronas Lubricants International (PLI), has launched the Fleetpro Cycle line. The new product is intended for agricultural machinery from Case IH and New Holland, as well as construction equipment from CASE Construction Equipment and New Holland Construction.

According to the companies, the portfolio uses sustainable raw materials, with a focus on the circular economy. The formulation uses high-performance re-refined oil, produced by Lwart Soluções Ambientais. Lwart is a leader in the segment and the only manufacturer of GII base oil in Latin America.

The process begins with the collection of used oil from more than 500 CNH dealerships in Brazil. After re-refining, the oil reaches a quality standard equal to that of first-refined oil. The technology reduces greenhouse gas emissions by 77%, according to Petronas.

Fleetpro Cycle is part of the Fleetpro line, designed for out-of-warranty machines. The parts and implements offer customers quality, warranty, and value.

Fernando Gaya, from CNH, emphasized that the launch reflects the company's strategy. According to him, the new product combines quality, innovation, and sustainability. "The initiative guarantees end-to-end performance and safety," he stated.

Luiz Eduardo de Silos Santos, Petronas's chief technology officer, emphasized the importance of the partnership with Lwart. He emphasized that the new line maintains the high performance standards demanded by the industry, while maintaining environmental responsibility.
