Rubia Fuel Economy

It’s time to trust your engine oil

Rubia
FUEL ECONOMY Proven Fuel Savings for FE Lubricants for Transport Industry, Buses and Trucks


Rubia Fuel Economy (FE) products are specially formulated to maximize fuel economy properties without compromising on engine protection.

How does Rubia TIR FE engine oil improve fuel consumption?
Fuel represents around 30% of total truck operation costs, thus even small reductions in fuel consumption can significantly improve the bottom line of heavy-duty fleet operators.

There are several initiatives to capture fuel economy (FE) gains. One of them is engine oil design, which can enhance FE performance via viscosity control and friction reduction. Lowering the lubricant’s viscosity reduces the overall friction in the engine and is a key enabler to deliver fuel efficiency gains.

What is fuel economy retention?
FE retention is the oil’s ability to retain its FE properties or credits over the oil drain interval. The Rubia TIR FE range is specially formulated to have better control of oxidation, volatility and soot-induced viscosity growth, thus allowing viscosity to be maintained over the oil’s lifetime and retaining FE credits. This means that fuel savings are optimized when a Rubia TIR FE oil is used.

EURO 5 and 6 engines : Fuel economy retention as tested for optimum fuel savings
A series of tests performed on EURO 5 and 6 heavy-duty diesel engines1 show that Rubia TIR FE engine oils2 maintained their viscosities throughout the oil drain interval, ensuring optimum FE credits from star to end.

EURO 4 engines : close to 3% fuel economy3 as tested
Tested on actual fleet operating in real-world conditions, Rubia TIR FE engine oils offer close to 3% FE3 for EURO 4 engines.

1 Mercedes-Benz, Volvo, Scania and DAF branded engines.
2 Semi-synthetic and full synthetic.
3 Certified by TÜV Rheinland in 2009 for achieving 2.78% fuel savings on a EURO 4 engine in a cold start FIGE cycle using Rubia TIR 8900 FE 10W-30, TRANSMISSON GEAR 9 FE 75W-80, TRANSMISSION DUAL 9 FE 75W-90.
