* USA -  Shell Lubricants gives media glimpse into the future of oil

Park City,UT,USA -Land Line, by Jami Jones–10 Feb 2012: -- Trucks are going to be changing once again thanks to the greenhouse gas and fuel economy standards. While most don’t realize it, that has put component manufacturers and suppliers like Shell Lubricants on notice: It’s time to think ahead and rise to yet another challenge...  Original equipment manufacturers will be forced into a fuel mileage game of limbo-lower-now that has put the pressure on every business that contributes to the finished trucks and its performance...  Because the upcoming fuel mileage standards are so stringent, OEMs are looking for every last gain in fuel economy they can get. For motor oil that can mean going even “thinner.” The viscosity of oil has crept downward over the past several years, while still managing high engine heat and still protecting the engine with extended drain intervals...  Now engine oils will have to get even thinner – or have lower viscosity – to improve fuel mileage, yet still improve on their ability to protect the engine and keep from breaking down because of engine heat.

They send data as trucks travel from farms to distribution centers and then stores...   The Locus Traxx unit includes a GPS device that lets grocers see exactly where their fruits and vegetables are.
