Up to a1,000 in savings annually on
every vehicle thanks to Fuel Economy
lubricants... With my 140 lorries, and
diesel costs that would normally total a3,360,000, Ive seen savings of
a140,000. Moreover, in addition to saving money on fuel, Im also gaining productivity, since my lubricants strategy is
helping me reduce maintenance.

In my business, there are no small
savings. And now is definitely
the right time to save, given the
pressures were feeling from the
rising price of diesel, pollution
control regulations, etc. So when
TOTAL approached me with a
genuine lubricants strategy that
would help me reduce my costs,
up to a1,000 a year per vehicle,
I didnt hesitate: with over 200
vehicles that are on the road at all
times, thats a lot of savings for my
company!

What I appreciate about TOTAL

lubricants is their conscientiousness.
With Fuel Economy lubricants for
heavy vehicle parts lubrication, we
get the best combination: they dont
make you buy 36 different oils when a
single product can be used for several
transmission system components.
And TOTAL also provides us with
outstanding services. For example,
ANAC makes my life easier: we use the
kit for the oil samples and send it to
ANAC for analysis. Then they send us a
precise evaluation of the state of wear
of each type of component. Theyve
really reduced our overall costs through
their products, advice and services.

The high-temperature grade(*) is the primary

factor in the Fuel Economy ranges savings: it
offers benefits for 90% of the vehicles use, during
warmed-up operation.
TOTAL was an industry leader in developing the Fuel
Economy range of lubricants. Each product in the
range has the same certifications as the standard
product range (e.g., for FE engines), but offers
added value that is unmatched on the market,
thanks to substantial reductions in fuel consumption
and CO2 emissions.

engine oil temperature has already stabilized at high

temperatures (between 90 and 115C). Even an occasional
stop will not cause the temperature to drop below 60C.

TOTALs policy of continuous innovation has enabled its researchers to develop

lubricants that use the latest technology to combine high performance and energy
savings.
TOTAL is the only company on the market to offer such a comprehensive range of Fuel
Economy products, especially when it comes to:

Composition:
f
TOTALs Fuel Economy range of lubricants includes 100% synthetic lubricants as well as
products that use a special blend of semi-synthetic or mineral components. These specially
engineered products provide for higher quality at better value in terms of operating costs, but
their development posed a technical challenge. TOTAL Lubricants is alone in offering specially
designed Fuel Economy products that have proven their value in international testing and
passed even the most stringent manufacturer certification procedures.

Application:
The Fuel Economy range includes a wide range of products (lubricants for engines and
transmissions, notably gearboxes and axles), and using these products in combination can
yield maximum fuel savings.

f Certifications:

All TOTAL Fuel Economy lubricants have been certified by international bodies (ACEA, API)
and the majority of heavy vehicle manufacturers.
With engine lubricants, for example, a standard W-40 grade lubricant can easily be replaced
with the equivalent W-30 grade Fuel Economy product, since they have the same certifications
at each level (see chart).

f Certification bodies:

TOTAL is the only company in the industry whose Fuel Economy lubricants have been
certified by independent organizations for average fuel savings achieved:
