Electric vehicles are rapidly changing the diversity of modern transport, posing new demands on technology, service, and lubricants. Castrol is a world-renowned company, its engine oil and ICE fluids for cars hold leading positions, but electric vehicles present new challenges that require a special approach and expertise. One response to these challenges is the line of innovative Castrol ON products – the world’s first aftermarket solution from Castrol, specifically designed for electric vehicles.
New conditions – new challenges
Unlike traditional cars with internal combustion engines that use multi-speed gearboxes, electric vehicles are usually equipped with simplified single-speed transmissions. This is because electric motors generate high torque almost from zero RPM. This transmission design may seem simple, but it operates under much more complex conditions than traditional counterparts.
Due to maximum torque at low speeds and the increasing integration of electric motors, the load on the transmission systems of electric vehicles is significantly higher. In addition to strong rotational torque, e-transmissions are also subjected to increased input speed – it can be twice as high as in ICEs. All this creates extreme operating conditions for the fluid inside the transmission.
What is Castrol ON?
Castrol ON is a specialized series of transmission fluids for electric vehicles that takes into account all the features of e-transmission operation. It includes solutions for both wet and dry transmissions and has products available not only to original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) but also for the aftermarket, opening up new opportunities for service centers and car owners.
Engineering excellence for future mobility
The Castrol ON fluid for dry transmissions deserves special attention. It is designed to:
withstand intense operation and high thermal load,
provide improved wear protection,
reduce viscosity loss and increase efficiency,
quickly release air to reduce foam formation,
maintain stability even in a narrow temperature range.
All this allows the transmission to operate more stably, for longer, and also provides a greater range for the electric vehicle on a single charge – an important criterion for every EV owner.
A look into the future
Transport electrification is not just a trend, but a strategic development direction. Castrol, as one of the world leaders in the lubricants industry, is taking a confident step into the future by providing technologically advanced and durable solutions for the new era of mobility.
Castrol ON is not just fluids for electric vehicles. It is a technology that enables electric vehicles to go further¹, charge faster², and last longer³*.
