Commercial vehicles lubricants are specialized oils and fluids designed to optimize the longevity and performance of vehicles used for business purposes. These vehicles include trucks, buses, vans, and other industrial vehicles that are crucial for transporting goods and people. Commercial vehicles operate under demanding conditions, such as long-haul transportation, stop-and-go urban driving, and heavy payloads. Lubricants for these vehicles are formulated to withstand high temperatures, heavy loads, and extended service intervals. They provide essential functions like reducing friction, cooling engine components, and protecting against wear and corrosion. Key types of commercial vehicle lubricants include engine oils, transmission fluids, gear oils, and greases. Engine oils are critical for maintaining the efficiency and durability of the engine, while transmission fluids and gear oils ensure smooth gear shifting and protect the drivetrain. Greases are used to lubricate various components, such as wheel bearings and chassis parts.
