Since the international oil price still fluctuates on high level, a number of industry organizations expect recently that the retail price of domestic refined oil products will be raised again as at June 10 if the future price of Brent crude oil can be stable at USD110/barrel or above.
Hike in oil prices brings increasing cost pressure to the transportation industry, especially the urban public transport characterized by large oil consumption and failure to adjust the shift or increase/decrease the ticket price at will, so the rise of oil price will directly result in the increase in the enterprise cost and such cost cannot be transferred in a short time. Expensive oil directly improves the cost for car use and increases the logistics cost of the whole society. Therefore, it is another concern to look for the alternative energy sources for the refined oil products.
The economical and environmentally friendly natural gas fuel is accepted widely and immediately after appearance and regarded as the new favorite in the new energy industry and as one of the best alternative energy sources of the refined oil products. The lubricant industry closely related to the industry of refined oil products will enter a new era under the current situation.
In the face of new market demands, Dongguan Amer Lubricant, which has been always committed to creating high-end, environmental protection and international national brands, captures the importance of the gas fuel as a green energy source in the first time and develops the engine oil for gas vehicles. The engine oil is subject to comprehensive technology upgrade on the basis of original gas engine oil especially in terms of formula and appearance. With the new unique high temperature detergency formula and lower ash value, the engine oil can effectively reduce oil sludge and sediments and effectively neutralize acidic materials under the high heat load environment of the gas engine; with good oxidation resistance, nitrification resistance and corrosion resistance, it can reduce the engine wear and play the dual effect of wear resistance and cleaning.
The product has the following distinct characteristics regarding performance:
Preferred for closeness: It is tailored for city taxies. With extraordinary oxidation stability, it can effectively prevent the oil viscosity changes caused by frequent start and congestion under urban traffic situation;
Preferred for economic efficiency: The high-quality base oil is adopted to significantly prolong the oil change period and achieve high economic efficiency.
Preferred for cleaning: with good cleaning and dispersing capability, it can effective inhibit carbon deposition of oil sludge, extend the engine life and protect the life cycle of taxies.
Preferred for environmental protection: with stronger low carbon function and unique formula, it extends the life of the three-way catalytic converter, meets the environmental protection requirements and protects the urban environment more effectively.
Preferred for endurance: with excellent viscosity stability and the use of high-quality viscosity index improver, it can still effectively prevent engine oil viscosity increase at high temperature under long oil change period and maintain good mobility at low temperature.
Preferred for car maintenance: with excellent oxidation resistance, it can reduce engine wear under long-term running conditions and extend the service life of the engine.
The consultant Luo Baihui said that the current oil-to-gas marketing operation was still in the face of many restrictions:
First, the technical standards for oil-to-gas are not unified or uniformly managed. The vehicle management department and insurance companies are at a loss since unified technical standards are not available for vehicle refitting. The vehicle management department must comply with unified standards to affirm whether the vehicle refitting is legal and whether the safety can be guaranteed; and the insurance companies require unified technical standards to measure the criticality after vehicle refitting of the insurance applicant, so as to safeguard their own interests.
Second, the fuel vehicle refitting cost is too high currently. For example, the cost for refitting a sedan car is about 5000yuan. The cost varies with the place and gas storage tank and is minimum 2600yuan and about 9000yuan for a bus.
Third, the vehicle refitting is restricted by the insurance contract clauses of the insurance companies. It is stipulated in the insurance contract clauses of the insurance companies that the insurance companies may not compensate for the accidents after vehicle refitting. The insurance companies believe that it is difficult to guarantee the safety of the oil-to-gas vehicles under current environment.
Fourth, the small amount of gas stations seriously restricts oil-to-gas development. The gas stations are less distributed in various places currently, bringing great convenience for the oil-to-gas car owners to refill. Such car owners shall wait in line and take a long way for refilling each time.
Regarding above resistance factors, Yan Guofei, the global market director of Amer Lubricant suggested improving the oil-to-gas related law environment as soon as possible, unifying the existing vehicle refitting standards, innovating the burden mode of refitting costs, encouraging the society to manufacture, purchase and use dual-fuel vehicles and various places to make unified planning of the gas stations and constructing the gas station system with reasonable distribution points and convenient refilling.
Only when the natural gas fuel is popularized, the development pace of oil-to-gas can be walked greater and greater and the corresponding emerging market of the lubricant industry can be stronger and stronger. Today, under the concept of green transport and low carbon travel, we should vigorously promote the oil-to-gas journey and change gasoline vehicles to gas vehicles, so as to focus on green and environmental protection and avoid confusion about rise of oil price.
