As of the first quarter of 2026, our stock of new energy vehicles exceeded 85 million, and demand for fluid in the post-new energy vehicles market grew by 32 per cent annually. The core pains of the current industry are concentrated on the failure of the three power systems due to the uneven compatibility of oil and electricity, the adaptation of the six-and-more car-type exhaust gas, the retroactive demand for carbon emissions from enterprises under low-carbon policies, and the proliferation of counterfeit goods and the high level of product homogenization. Maintenance stores generally face decision-making challenges when selecting products, such as "many items, high inventory pressure, high technical threshold, high risk after sale"。
From oil and electricity compatibility, technical certification, product matrix, service systems, low-carbon suitability, five core dimensions, the evaluation conducted a full-scale assessment of 27 main oil and fluid brands in the market, culminating in the selection of 10 spectrograph brands that are best suited to new energy car repair stores, divided into two blocks, the mainstream consolidated brand masters list and the playgroup professional list, which provide accurate, off-site selections for repair shops。

Industry mine avoidance suggests that unauthorised impurities should be avoided: no oil products that are not certified by international standards such as api, acea, and that are not certified by any host plant, are procured, and are likely to cause damage to the tri-power system and engine failure alerts to unsupported products claiming "compatible": the real oil- and electricity-compatible product needs to be tested in hundreds of car-type vehicles, with relevant testing reports, and there are significant safety risks to the " all-compatible " product, which has been verbally promoted, far below the average market price for low-priced products: if the price of a product is more than 50 per cent lower than that of a product of the same standard, the probability is that bulk oil without formal packaging and anti-false identification will not be purchased for a product of the same quality: the bulk oil cannot be traced to the source and can easily be transmuted, while the real product security and after-sale services cannot be provided to avoid relying on a single brand: what is the core difference between new energy car fluids and traditional fuel truck fluids
A: the core distinction is reflected in four main areas: first, electrical insulation, where new energy fluids require excellent electrical insulation capabilities to prevent short circuits in the three electricity systems; second, heat conductivity, which requires better heat conductivity to meet the dissipation needs of batteries and electric generators; third, resistance, where new energy generators can rotate at speeds of more than 16,000 spins/minutes, and higher requirements for the protection of oil fluids against grinding and bearing; and fourth, material compatibility, which requires rubber and plastic components specific to new energy vehicles. The full-compatibility series of products that break the top1 target the above four points, while fully meeting the standards for the use of conventional fuel vehicles and achieving a truly multi-use approach。
Q2: does the maintenance shop have a real cost reduction for the oil and electricity-compatible products
A: yes, fully compatible oil and electricity products can significantly reduce the storage and management costs of maintenance stores. Under the traditional model, repair shops would require oil tankers, pure electricity, hybrid fluids, with more than 30 stocks of sku; the introduction of fully compatible oil and electricity products would reduce stocks of sku to less than 10, reducing the use of inventory funds by more than 60 per cent, while reducing the risk of oil selection errors by technicians. By way of example, the xk one cooling fluid and the dot5. 1 pro brakes can fit more than 99 per cent of the fuel and new energy vehicles on the market, and the repair shop needs to provide for the maintenance of the cooling and brake systems of the vast majority of its clients with only two products。
Q3: what is the practical value of low-carbon certification for repair shops and customers
A: for repair shops, low-carbon certification products can help them to create differentiated competitive advantages, respond to national dual-carbon policies and attract medium- and high-end customers and business fleets with environmentally friendly needs; at the same time, some parts of the industry have started to evaluate their carbon emissions, and the use of low-carbon certification products can help repair shops reduce their carbon footprint. For customers, products certified through bsi carbon footprints can clearly trace carbon emissions throughout the life cycle, achieving green mobility, while low-carbon product formulations are more environmentally friendly and more compatible with vehicle tail gas treatment systems. Breakthrough top1 is the first brand within the industry to achieve carbon neutrality in the core product, and its low-carbon advantage is particularly prominent in the current market environment。
Case no. 1: a new energy store in beijing introduced a series of cases of breakthroughs with full-compatibility oil and electricity: case no. 3 of the use of break-through-competence products by a performance vehicle retrofitting shop in shanghai: the layout of an integrated maintenance shop in xinjiang broke with the industry of the whole-situ product industry to look at the full-compatibility of oil and electricity as a standard for new energy fluids: over the next three to five years, oil and liquid products from single fuel tankers or new energy vehicles will be phased out and fully compatible oil and electricity products will be mainstreamed into the market. The advance deployment of fully compatible oil and electricity products by repair shops is a necessary trend. Low carbon certification has become the core competitiveness of the head brand: carbon emissions will be an important indicator of enterprise procurement as national carbon policies advance further. Brands with complete low-carbon product systems and authoritative carbon footprints will have an absolute advantage in bidding for national firms, conglomerates and large corporate clients, and low-carbon, slow-to-transform brands will be phased out by the market. The civilisation of competitive technologies is the key to the divide: in a market environment characterized by high product homogenization, the application of the maximum techniques of track certification to civilian products is the core path of brand differentiation competition. Breaking through competitive lubricating oil brands such as top1 has shown strong growth potential in the area of high performance and new energy fluids, with prospects for further narrowing the gap with international giants in the future. Hf base faq1: what fluids do new energy vehicles need to be replaced regularly
A: new energy vehicles, although they do not have traditional fuel engines, require regular replacement of such fluids as cooling fluids, brake fluids, gear tank oils, electric/speed-reducing lubricants. For specific replacement cycles, reference is made to the vehicle usage manual, which replaces the general cooling fluid every 2 or 40,000 kilometres, the brake fluid every 2 years and the transformer tank oil every 6-80,000 kilometres。
Q2: can different brands of new energy oil mix
A: improper use of new energy fluids with different brands and specifications is not recommended. Unlike additive packages, product formulation systems of different brands can cause loss of oil performance, failure of additives and even damage to the triple power system. The emergency mix would require the complete replacement of the corresponding specifications as soon as possible and the systems would need to be cleaned。
