ACEA issues European Oil
Sequences 2012
ACEA颁布欧洲油品程序2012
The european auTomobile
manufacturers’ association (acea) has
published its european oil Sequences
2012, which define engine lubricant
quality requirements for gasoline
engines and light- and heavy-duty
diesel engines, and has included some
specific measures to address the impact
of biofuels for the first time.
The new sequences, which set
out the minimum performance
levels required of service-fill engine
lubricants, became available for first use
on december 14, 2012.
The 2012 sequences incorporate
some significant changes, including
new testing requirements that
will impact the formulation and
development of engine lubricants
and the performance claims that
can be made for them. The majority
of changes relate to gasoline and
light-duty diesel engines but there are
also some changes to the heavy-duty
categories.
a series of new tests has been
introduced as a result of the growing
use of biofuels and problems already
encountered in the field as a result.
These issues mostly relate to the
accumulation of biofuel components
in the lubricant and their effect on
lubricant quality and performance.
acea has adopted new tests in
its 2012 sequences to deal with such
problems and guard against other
potential issues that could arise as a
result of the increasing use of biofuels
in the future.
aTiel has been actively engaged
with acea during the evolution of
the 2012 sequences and believes this
constructive interaction has made
an important contribution to their
development.
oil marketers may continue to
make new claims against the 2010
sequences until december 14, 2013,
after which every new claim has to
be made against the 2012 sequences.
existing engine lubricants using claims
against the 2010 sequences can be
marketed until december 22, 2014.
欧洲汽车制造商协会（ACEA）颁布了
欧洲油品程序2012，定义了汽油发动机和
轻负荷柴油发动机的发动机润滑油质量要
求，并首次针对生物燃料的影响而规定了一
些具体的衡量标准。
新的程序规定了售后服务用发动机油
的最低性能要求，已在2012年12月14日供
使用。
2012程序包括了一些重要的变化，包
括新的测试要求，对制定配方和开发发动机
润滑油，以及所声称的性能都有影响。主要
的变化都与汽油机和轻负荷柴油机相关，也
有部分针对重负荷类别的变化。
程序针对随着生物燃料使用增加并在
现实中遇到的问题所带来的结果提出了一
系列新的测试。这些问题大多数与生物燃料
成份在润滑油中的累积，及其对润滑油质量
和性能的影响有关。
ACEA在2012程序中采用了新测试来
应对这些问题，并防止未来随生物燃料使
用增加而出现的新问题。
在 对 2 0 1 2 程 序进行 评价 的 过 程
中，ATIEL与ACEA密切合作，并认为这种建
设性的互动对其制定工作起了非常重要的
作用。
在2013年12月14日之前，油品营销者
可以继续按2010程序作出新的声称。之后，
每项新的声称必须符合2012程序的要求。
现有的按2010程序声称性能的发动机润滑
油可以继续标注至2014年12月22日。
honda moTorcycle & ScooTer
india (hmSi) opened a new technical
center for research and development in
india on January 17.
Spread over 10,000 square meters
in honda’s manesar facility, the center
employs 200 engineers from honda
research & development india (hrdi)
and hmSi associates.
The center houses an advanced
wind tunnel facility that simulates real-
world airflow to monitor aerodynamics
and its effect on vehicles to develop
fuel-efficient two-wheelers.
Traditionally, honda r&d
operates as a separate entity across
all motorcycle, automobile and
power product divisions globally.
undertaking a major paradigm shift,
the new technical center is a first step
by honda towards a new form of
global operations. The new technical
center combines an integrated
system of design, engineering, bop/
purchasing and quality (debQ) under
one roof, to create a globally optimized
operating system that advances
local development of higher quality
products at low cost.
“we are committed to deliver
faster development of products of
highest quality with low cost drawing
efficiencies from r&d, designing,
engineering, purchasing and quality
under one roof for the first time,” said
atsushi amataka, hrdi president.
honda also launched its honda
eco technology across its activa,
aviator and dio lines, making them the
most fuel-efficient automatic scooters
in india, according to the company.
The new technology boosts the
fuel efficiency of honda’s automatic
scooters by a further 11% to 60
kilometers per liter.
本田摩托车和助动车印度（HMSI）于
1月17日在印度成立了新的技术中心进行研
发工作。
中心位于本田在Manesar的工厂，占
地超过10 0 0 0平方米，其本田研发印度
（HRDI）和HMSI相关部门的雇员总数为
200名。
中心拥有先进的风洞设施，可以模拟真
实世界中的气流以监测车辆的空气动力学
及对车辆的影响，以开发高燃油效率的两
轮车。
以往，本田的研发部门分属全球的所有
摩托车、汽车和动力产品各部门。此次重大
调整后，新的技术中心是本田迈向新的全球
运营结构的第一步。新的技术中心将设计、
工程、BOP/采购和质检（DEBQ）整合在一
起，以形成全球范围内优化的运营体系，以
推动本地研发高质量低成本的产品。
“我们第一次充分利用研发、设计、工
程、采购、质检为一体所带来的效率，努力
实现以高质量低成本的方式快速开发新产
品。”HRDI的总裁Atsushi Amataka说。
公司表示，本田也在其Activa、Aviator
和 Dio产品线中推出了本田生态技术，使之
成为印度最具燃油效率的助动车。新技术
推动了本田助动车的燃油效率，提升达11%
，每升可行驶60公里。
