More Ecologically Positive, Electric Vehicles Grew by 70% in 2020

Petronas has just launched a new line of fluids specifically for electric vehicles. The producer has been focusing since 2019 on developing technologies for e-mobility and aims to achieve zero carbon emissions by 2050.

Electric Vehicle Sales Grew by 70% in 2020

According to data published in the Global EV Outlook 2021, with the COVID-19 pandemic, the sales of electric vehicles saw a 70% increase in 2020, while conventional vehicle sales dropped. This fact demonstrates, in practice, the importance of investing in the sector.

“We believe e-mobility is expanding at a rapid pace. With this rapid growth, innovative solutions are essential to drive the movement towards e-mobility for a more sustainable future,” said the CEO of the PLI Group, Giuseppe D’Arrigo.

The Petronas Lona line, launched primarily in 2019, aims for energy decarbonization, optimizing the efficiency, safety, and performance of electric vehicles with advanced EV fluid solutions. Since then, the company has been working on developments to keep pace with technological evolution.

The subsequent generation of Petronas Lona was designed to meet the diverse demands of electric drive systems and powertrains, including friction and wear control, as well as thermal management for temperature regulation, to maximize performance, energy efficiency, and reliability of high-performance electric vehicles.

Investment in Carbon Neutrality by 2050

To support the goal of carbon neutrality by 2050, Petronas invests 75% of its research and technology investment fund in initiatives such as accelerating the full operation of electric cars to meet sustainability goals.

After the launch, PLI brought together industry-leading experts for its second online video seminar (webinar), Petronas EV Fluids Webinar 2021, aimed at discussing fluids to drive the electric vehicle industry forward and collectively advance towards a sustainable future. The event covered all topics of extreme importance for development, presented by PLI experts.

Since 2018, Petronas has been working on collaborative projects with industry pioneers in the co-creation of safe fluids specifically designed for electric motors.

A giant printer called the “Ferrari” of concrete has landed in Latin America and can already build a 120-square-meter house in just 48 hours, making the traditional construction site look like something from the last century.

Great Atlantic Sargassum Belt has ceased to be a climatic phenomenon and has become a biological system that feeds on itself, with 8,000 kilometers in length, 37 million tons of algae, and scientists confirm that it is now permanent.

A British company has installed in the middle of the ocean the world’s first floating platform that generates electricity 24 hours a day from the temperature difference between the surface and the depths of the Atlantic, without relying on wind or sun.

China is building an artificial island in the middle of the sea, covering 20 km², to construct the largest offshore airport in the world, the Dalian Jinzhouwan. This $4.3 billion project is anchored on more than 3,000 pillars embedded in the rock beneath the ocean and is scheduled to open in 2035.

Brazil will harvest a record crop of up to 357 million tons of grains, but it does not have the capacity to store a large part of it. The storage deficit has reached the highest level in history and is equivalent to almost the entire production of Argentina.

Engineers had to pour concrete mixed with tons of ice throughout entire nights in the Dubai desert to erect the Burj Khalifa; any carelessness could clog the pipes half a mile high.

The James Webb telescope spotted a planet 700 light-years from Earth with mornings full of sand clouds and nights with clear skies, the temperature difference between the two hemispheres reaches an impressive 170 degrees.

On the coast of Guyana, neighboring Brazil, ExxonMobil has begun drilling oil wells with an automated system that practically removes human hands from controlling the drill.

Santa Catarina invests R$ 1 billion against the risk of El Niño, accelerates work on dams, cleans rivers, delivers 641 bridges and 126 water trucks, and prepares 295 municipalities for heavy rains, floods, and landslides still in 2026.

Find out which are the 5 busiest bus stations in Brazil and what they offer to travelers.

He looks alien, and it’s on purpose: the Helios abandons the legs of common humanoid robots and gains four arms to move, anchor, and operate in zero gravity, with the promise of eventually even helping with the maintenance of satellites and structures in orbit.
