The drive toward electrification is impacting every single area of drivetrain development, and lubrication is no exception. In the case of TotalEnergies, the company has been developing a range of dedicated EV fluids, under the brand Quartz EV-Drive MP, able to act as both a transmission lubricant and motor coolant. Hakim El Bahi, a research…
