2021年11月19日，意大利都灵
马石油润滑油国际（PLI）是马来西亚国家石油公司从事全球润滑油制造和销售的业务分支。当天，在意大利都灵的全球研发技术中心推出了新一代马石油IONA安欧纳电动车（EV）油液解决方案。此次发布会以“加速提升效率，为电动出行带来创新性的变革”为主题，旨在引领电动汽车领域的新技术和新趋势。
根据最近发布的《2021年全球电动汽车展望》，全球各类汽车市场因为新冠疫情受到了巨大的经济冲击。虽然传统整车的注册量有所下降，但全球电动汽车销量在2020年却增长了70%。
“我们相信，电动交通工具正在迅速地扩张。随着这种快速增长，具有创新性的解决方案是加速向电动交通迈进的关键所在，为了实现更可持续的未来，”马石油润滑油国际董事总经理兼集团CEO Giuseppe D'Arrigo表示。
马石油IONA安欧纳于2019年首次推出，旨在通过先进的电动车油液解决方案来优化电动汽车的能源效率，安全性和性能表现，帮助世界加速迈向零碳未来。从那时起，为了跟上电动汽车技术的变化，油液技术的发展速度也随之加快。
第二代马石油IONA安欧纳旨在满足电驱动单元和电子轴的多种要求，包括控制摩擦、磨损以及热管理，以较大限度地提高高性能电动汽车的性能表现、能源效率和可靠性。
这一举措符合马石油润滑油国际在2018年宣布的可持续发展承诺，即将其75%的研究和技术投资用于减少排放，以支持到2050年实现净零碳排放的目标。
