Total’s offering for electric mobility includes an innovative line of fluids for electric and hybrid vehicles, produced thanks to important efforts of the Group’s R&D teams.

Automakers can indeed choose between Total Quarts EV Fluid, for light vehicles, and Total Rubia EV Fluid, for industrial & utility vehicles and electric buses. These products have been specially developed to meet the cooling and lubrication needs of the various components of these new types of engines and to ensure that they remain in peak condition throughout their lifetime. These lines are in particular aimed to provide a better solution for the specific issues linked to engines and transmissions with high rotation speeds, and the need to control heat exchange in electric batteries.

Total researchers focused their research and development efforts for these fluids on four main characteristics, required by any electric or hybrid application:

• Dielectric properties, essential to any usage with electric current
• Compatibility with new electrification components, helping to prevent the corrosion of copper coils in electric engines and protect their polymer coatings
•  A solution for the temperature constraints specific to electric models: rapid calorific evacuation during major accelerations or fast charges, thermal management for batteries, etc.
• Conventional lubrication services for transmissions to protect their mechanical components, maintain optimal friction properties and ensure vehicles efficiency over time

Marketed by Total Lubricants, these products join the other electric mobility solutions offered by Total through a variety of concrete applications for charging, storage, and fleet management. Integrated before the vehicles leave the factories, these high-performance fluids will accompany them throughout their service lives, benefitting all our customers: parts manufacturers, automakers and end users.

This line of fluids for electric and hybrid vehicles is in line with Total Climate Strategy and the Group’s ambition to reduce the carbon footprint of the energy products offered to its customers, also aiming for a sustainable and performing mobility.
