Mining, one of India’s core industries, is playing a driving role in enabling economic progress – backed by the country’s rich reserves of mineral and metal resources. In recent years, there has been surging demand for specialised equipment.

This, in turn, has fuelled demand for the use of advanced sophisticated lubrication solutions. In meeting this demand, Mobil™? has developed the Mobil Delvac Modern™? 15W-40 Super Fleet to empower mining fleet operators to optimise their vehicle’s performance to obtain maximum output with utmost efficiency.  

In India's mining sector, the role of reliable mining fleet is of utmost importance for efficient operations across extensive mining sites. With the country's vast mineral resources and increasing mining activities, the demand for robust and high-performance vehicles tailored for mining operations has surged. The Indian mining equipment market is estimated at 620-630 units per year for the last 4 years. However, it is to observe a healthy demand and expects the market to grow by more than 12 per cent. The tailwinds for different demand drivers are expected to ensure that such growth continues at least for 6 years till 2028. This rapid expansion also necessitates special attention to challenges that these vehicles encounter, and here, specialised lubricants can play a pivotal role in ensuring optimal performance. 

Cutting-edge solutions

For Mobil?, the mining sector is of critical importance that is motivating innovation in the development of lubrication solutions. The Mobil Delvac Modern? 15W-40 Super Fleet has emerged as an innovative solution that revolutionises the way mining fleet owners and operators maintain and enhance their vehicle’s performance. Within India's mining industry, companies are constantly seeking methods to optimise their mining operations. A critical determinant of mining vehicle longevity and efficiency is the lubricant used to power these vehicles. Mobil Delvac Modern 15W-40 Super Fleet is an extra high performance synthetic technology diesel engine oil that provides excellent lubrication to both on highway and off highway diesel engines. It offers upto 60 per cent* more wear protection than API CI-4 PLUS standards, thus, reducing engine maintenance cost. This lubricant delivers superior protection, efficiency, and extended oil drain intervals, it ensures long operational periods, empowering mining fleet operators to extract maximum value from their vehicles.

Given the harsh conditions under which mining vehicles operate, the engine oil's ability to maintain high thermal and oxidation stability is exceptional. One of the key highlights of Mobil Delvac Modern 15W-40 Super Fleet is its reduced sludge build-up and deposits resulting long oil drain and filter life. It is engineered to combat sludge and deposit formation effectively. These issues can be particularly challenging in India's tropical climate, where extreme temperatures can lead to the breakdown of the fleet. By reducing sludge formation, this engine oil maintains engine cleanliness and enhances overall performance, making it a preferred choice for fleet managers looking for efficiency.

As mining equipment frequently operate in harsh conditions, this engine oil's ability to operate in high thermal and oxidation stability is exceptional. The formulation's outstanding wear protection ensures that long component life is maintained and results in reduced maintenance cost, even under high-stress cases, guaranteeing improved reliability and longevity for the fleet. Additionally, extended drain intervals also lead to reduced maintenance costs and improved operational efficiency. The ability to extend oil change intervals without compromising on engine protection allows fleet owners to minimise other disruptions.

The exceptional performance of Mobil Delvac Modern 15W-40 Super Fleet has earned the trust of numerous companies and manufacturers in India's Mining industry. The company’s track record in maximising engine life & minimising maintenance expenses has cemented its position as a preferred choice for reliable lubrication. With the lubrication experience extending way beyond product selection to include the complete process – from timely consultation, Onsite service delivery, oil analysis & monitoring, and more.

In conclusion, Mobil Delvac Modern 15W-40 Super Fleet is a game-changer. Its advanced technology and unmatched performance have transformed the way the mining fleet operators maintains their vehicles for efficient mining operations.
