Jaguar TCS Racing pioneer circularity with Castrol ON EV Transmission Fluid in race cars.
\n<\/p>\n
An industry first on the Formula E race track<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/strong>Jaguar TCS Racing and longstanding partner Castrol set the objective to test and demonstrate more sustainable solutions, that also demonstrate the capabilities of circularity. As a result, re-refined Castrol ON EV Transmission Fluid was successfully used in the team\u2019s all-electric race cars at the 2023 Monaco E-Prix. Pioneering this process at the race track, Jaguar TCS Racing become the first motorsport team in Formula E to claim the use of a more circular transmission fluid.<\/p>\n As Official EV Fluids Partner to Jaguar TCS Racing since 2019, Castrol works with the team to co-engineer advanced EV Fluids and lubricants to realise the performance and more sustainable solutions that support the future of electric vehicle efficiency.<\/p>\n Season 9 of the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship has been a testbed for Castrol, using the Jaguar I-TYPE 6 as a fast-paced laboratory to trial the comparable performance of a more circular transmission fluid.<\/p>\n The prestigious Monaco E-Prix saw the more circular Castrol ON EV Transmission Fluid\u00a0 deployed in a high-performance environment, following successful testing earlier in the season in Berlin. The iconic race, with its winding streets, high-speed sections, and challenging corners, saw Jaguar TCS Racing driver Mitch Evans take his third podium of the season, and teammate Sam Bird climb six places.<\/p>\n Waste transmission fluid taken from across Jaguar TCS Racing\u2019s test and development activity is collected and re-refined using a technique to recover its main constituent base oil. This more circular base oil is blended with performance additives to make a fresh batch of the EV transmission fluid, which is then deployed to the Jaguar I-TYPE 6 gearbox in place of fluid containing virgin base oil.<\/p>\n The successful deployment of the more circular Castrol ON EV Transmission Fluid demonstrated that a more circular transmission base oil can perform in parity to virgin base oil.<\/p>\n Both Jaguar TCS Racing and Castrol will collect key data within the contained ecosystem to develop a technical and practical understanding of the technology and processes around more circular transmission fluid systems, with the ultimate aim of applying the learnings from the race track to road cars.<\/p>\n Sustainability sits at the heart of JLR\u2019s Reimagine strategy. Limiting the use of virgin materials through the adoption of circular economy principles, based on a \u2018use less, use longer, use again\u2019 philosophy, will be key in achieving the goal to become net zero by 2039.<\/p>\n Castrol\u2019s PATH360 strategy embraces circular thinking and looks at the life cycle of Castrol\u2019s existing and new products, to see how they can be improved, extended, reused or recycled.<\/p>\n
