Valvoline has announced the extension of its exclusive partnership for service fill and after-sales with Eicher Trucks and Buses.
The two companies have been associated since 2019 for the supply of Eicher Genuine Lubricants. A release issued by the company said the partners seamlessly navigated through the engine technology transition from BS4 to BS6 earlier in 2020.
Looking ahead, Eicher and Valvoline are excited about the future prospects offered by their extended partnership. They will collaborate closely for the next phase of growth to develop innovative fluids that meet the evolving expectations of customers and align with market trends. This includes exploring new technologies such as high-performance long-drain interval fluids, alternative fuel solutions like CNG, and advancements in heat transfer fluids (HTFs).
Sandeep Kalia, Managing Director, Valvoline Cummins, said the partnership is a testimony to the shared commitment to customer-centricity, seamless integration, and relentless pursuit of excellence. “We are eager to collaborate further with Eicher, leveraging our combined expertise and innovative mindset to develop fluids supporting new energy vehicle technologies,” Kalia said.
Valvoline Cummins has reached a significant milestone in India, with the JV celebrating 25 years of successful operation in the country.
Vinod Aggarwal, Managing Director & CEO, VE Commercial Vehicles, said Eicher has over the years taken significant steps to “deliver industry-leading uptime to our truck and bus customers and optimise maintenance cost through lengthening service intervals. Our continuing partnership with Valvoline is a further step in this direction.”
