Tribology and Lubrication for E-mobility

The Society of Tribologists and Lubrication Engineers (STLE), Park Ridge, Ill., has released a white paper, “Tribology and Lubrication for E-Mobility: Findings from the Inaugural STLE Conference on Electric Vehicles.”

The 32-page white paper includes findings from STLE’s inaugural Tribology and Lubrication for E-Mobility Conference in November 2021. The conference included more than 20 speakers from leading companies and organizations with an interest in e-mobility.

Prepared by Dr. Neil Canter of Chemical Solutions, a STLE technical advisor and member of the STLE EV Conference Planning Committee, the piece summarizes the key findings and challenges discussed in the conference and provides other related content, addressing topics such as requirements for potential e-fluids and how the demand for industrial lubricants will be affected by the increased manufacture of battery electric vehicle (BEV) parts.
