HD Hyundai Oilbank has introduced Korea's inaugural engine oil tailored for hydrogen internal combustion engine vehicles (HICEV), aiming to meet the expanding lubricant demand for hydrogen-powered transportation, reported the company on Tuesday. The manufacturer recently commenced supplying its XTeer H2-ICE engine oil, specifically engineered for HICEVs, to hydrogen commercial vehicle producers, including Tata Daewoo.
HD Hyundai Oilbank initiated the development of lubricant technology for HICEVs in 2023 and finalized product development and performance validation using its unique technologies the previous year. These electric vehicles function at elevated combustion temperatures compared to traditional internal combustion engines. The moisture produced during combustion can hasten engine wear and impair oil effectiveness.
Taking these attributes into account, HD Hyundai Oilbank independently devised three primary technologies: engine protection, moisture management, and suppression of combustion-generated deposits. This hydrogen-specific engine oil creation came about as hydrogen gains increasing attention as a sustainable substitute to fossil fuels.
