HD Hyundai Oilbank has developed Korea’s first engine oil specifically designed for hydrogen internal combustion engine vehicles (HICEV), targeting the growing lubricant market for hydrogen-powered mobility, the refiner said Tuesday.
The company recently began supplying its XTeer H2-ICE engine oil specifically developed for HICEVs, to hydrogen commercial vehicle manufacturers including Tata Daewoo.
HD Hyundai Oilbank started developing lubricant technology for HICEVs in 2023 and completed product development and performance verification using its proprietary technologies last year.
HICEVs operate at higher combustion temperatures than conventional internal combustion engines.
