IVECO and PETRONAS Lubricants Extend Strategic Partnership Through 2032

IVECO, one of Europe's leading commercial vehicle manufacturers, and PETRONAS Lubricants International (PLI) have renewed their long-term strategic partnership for another five years.

The new agreement extends their partnership until 2032. The two companies have worked together for more than 50 years, focusing on innovation, better vehicle performance, and more sustainable solutions for the commercial transport industry.

The renewed partnership will continue the supply and joint development of a wide range of lubricants for IVECO's commercial vehicles. These products are designed to help vehicles perform efficiently and reliably.

The range includes engine oils, transmission fluids, brake fluids, and coolants. PETRONAS Lubricants International (PLI) and IVECO will keep developing products that meet the demanding needs of IVECO's commercial vehicles across Europe.

The long partnership has led to the successful development of IVECO URANIA engine oils and IVECO TUTELA technical fluids. These products were created through many years of joint research and are the only fluids officially recommended by IVECO.

The lubricants are designed to deliver high performance, improve energy efficiency, reduce vehicle downtime, and help vehicle parts last longer.

One of the latest innovations is Urania Next 0W-16, the first SAE 0W-16 engine oil made specifically for heavy-duty vehicles. It helps improve fuel efficiency, reduce CO₂ emissions, and allows longer oil change intervals. The oil is also Euro 7 ready, making it suitable for IVECO's newest generation of engines.

Domenico Nucera, Chief Quality & Operations Officer, Iveco Group, commented, "The renewal of the agreement with PETRONAS Lubricants International confirms the strength of a long-standing collaboration built on shared technical expertise and a common ambition to continuously improve performance, efficiency, and sustainability across our vehicle and powertrain portfolio. Through the co-engineering of our IVECO URANIA and IVECO TUTELA ranges, we are able to deliver solutions that maximise vehicle uptime, optimise total cost of ownership, and support our customers and dealer network with the highest standards of quality and reliability."

PETRONAS Lubricants International (PLI) is the global lubricants business of PETRONAS, Malaysia's international energy company. Founded in 2008, PLI produces and sells a wide range of high-quality automotive and industrial lubricants.

The company operates in more than 100 countries. Its headquarters are in Kuala Lumpur, and it also has offices in cities such as Turin, Belo Horizonte, Beijing, and Chicago.
