For MOTOREX, this fourth victory in a row validates our years of constant work to bring our customers the best possible value and service. Thank you for choosing us! KICKOFF FOR TWO NEW CAR LINE PRODUCTS MOTOREX has launched CONCEPT X-C2 SAE 0W/30, a new motor oil with the current B71 2312 PSA approval for Peugeot and Citroën auto pros. The new product is a fully synthetic super-low-lubricity oil for gasoline and diesel engines with the latest exhaust gas post-treatment systems. High-quality base fluids in combination with special additives guarantee effective protection against wear and outstanding fuel economy and emissions values. SELECT LA-X SAE 5W/30 holds the latest Mercedes-Benz approval 229.52. The oil was developed especially for the Daimler Group’s current generation of BlueTEC diesel engines with SCR exhaust gas post-treatment, designed for Euro 6. In addition, SELECT LA-X SAE 5W/30 is backwards-compatible with all gasoline and diesel engines requiring 229.31 or 229.51 approvals.

The CSF suffix stands for “cable semifluid”, meaning that the product’s low viscosity enables it to reach all of the surfaces to be lubricated and leave a stable, solid-like lubricant film once the solvent portion has evaporated. This effectively prevents stick-slip jolting. High-performance extreme pressure (EP) additives also reduce wear and ensure a more comfortable ride in extended use. IBEX AND MOTOREX CLIMB TOGETHER TerraTec Maschinenbau GmbH, a young company based in Schruns in the Austrian state of the mowers set a new, never before signed down to the smallest detail, Vorarlberg, named its fully hydraulic motorized mowers IBEX 14 and 28 after the Alpine ing and innovative technical solu- attained standard in their engineer- ibex, a type of wild goat. Meticulously de- tions. When the time came to fill the hydraulic system at the factory and choose lubricants, TerraTec turned to MOTOREX. Three separate axial piston pumps use MOTOREX COREX HV 46 hydraulic fluid to transmit the power of the 14- or 28-horsepower engine to the wheels. Series production has begun, and nothing now stands in the way of the TerraTec Ibex’s spread throughout the Alpine countries. www.terratec.cc 4
GREEN OIL FOR ÖKOTAXI VIENNA Milan Milić and his team at Ökotaxi operate a fleet of “green” cabs in Vienna and southern Lower Austria made up entirely of Toyota hybrids. His motto: “With green taxis, anyone can do something for the environment.” The Prius taxis have met the Euro 5 standard, which has since become mandatory for all new taxis in Austria, from the day they were purchased. The Toyotas’ reliable technology and sharply reduced fuel consumption make up for their higher initial purchase price. Low-lubricity MOTOREX CONCEPT J-XL SAE 5W/20 motor oil yields additional savings in all 200 eco-taxis. Special additives improve the coefficient of friction, further reducing fuel consumption while still reliably protecting against wear. All this makes the “green” oil from MOTOREX a perfect match for Ökotaxi’s timely philosophy. www.oekotaxi.at Picture: Ökotaxi Wien OPEN HOUSE AT MASKINTILLBEHÖR Maskintillbehör, a company based near the city of Grums in northeastern Sweden, recently held a practiceoriented open house together with MOTOREX and other well-known international brands.
