Advanced vehicle and fuel technology
We actively support initiatives to reduce consumer emissions from the use of our products in the transportation sector. These include research efforts with external partners to address the fuel and vehicle as a single system to improve efficiency.
We are working with partners to develop advanced biofuels from photosynthetic algae that are compatible with today's gasoline and diesel fuels.
Our new generation of separator films that can significantly enhance the power, safety and reliability of lithium-ion batteries — a breakthrough that could help usher in a new era for hybrid and electric vehicles.
Together with tire manufacturers, we have introduced a new tire lining technology that makes tires lighter and keeps them properly inflated longer — both of which contribute to greater fuel efficiency.
Bumpers, fuel tanks and other car parts made from advanced ExxonMobil plastics help reduce vehicle weight by about 10 percent, which can improve fuel efficiency by more than five percent.
Our Mobil 1 Advanced Fuel Economy is a synthetic motor oil that is expected to improve fuel economy by up to two percent* compared to those grades most commonly used.
ExxonMobil is collaborating with vehicle and engine manufacturers and others to develop breakthrough engine technologies that could produce step-changes in fuel efficiency and hold the potential to diversify energy sources for transportation.
We are working with partners to develop an on-vehicle hydrogen production system that converts conventional hydrocarbon fuels into hydrogen to power a fuel cell contained within the vehicle.
*Actual savings are dependent upon vehicle/engine type, outside temperature, driving conditions, and current engine oil viscosity.
