ENEOS Oil returns to 100th Pikes Peak Race with Tesla Model 3

TOYKO, Japan — The 100th running of the 2022 Pikes Peak International Hill Climb (PPIHC) on June 26 will mark the fourth year ENEOS has supported the race efforts of Evasive Motorsports and driver Daijiro Yoshihara, according to a press release.

The press release reported that ENEOS is Japan’s largest oil company and supplier of motor oil and transmission fluids to the majority of Asian vehicle manufacturers.

The company introduced an EV Fluid Series last year, which is designed to optimize the efficiency and performance of electric vehicles.

While it might appear unusual for an oil company established in 1888 to compete in the “Race to the Clouds” with a Tesla, it reflects the transition the company is making as transportation evolves.

For its part, the engineers and chemists at ENEOS see the 2022 PPIHC as an opportunity to prove and promote its new EV Fluid Series.

The line of dedicated EV fluids has been developed by the same experts who work alongside leading car makers in Japan and Asia.

Currently, ENEOS personnel are working directly with the vehicle manufacturers to create the latest lubricants, continuously improving vehicle efficiency through reduced friction, lower emissions, improved fuel consumption and greater durability.

As the future of automotive development looks towards electric vehicles, ENEOS tasked its development teams to look at alternative fuel vehicle concepts, particularly in terms of lubrication and cooling.

The new ENEOS EV Fluid Series is designed specifically to help the world’s EV manufacturers improve vehicle efficiency.

It will also be offered in the future to help improve efficiency during routine maintenance, offering a superior alternative to current lubrication and cooling products.

The Turn 14 Distribution/Yokohama Tire/ENEOS/Evasive Motorsports Tesla Model 3 Pikes Peak race car is a partner in the development of the new ENEOS EV Fluid Series.

Its performance during testing and at the race itself will be closely monitored.

Driven under the harshest conditions, the race car will allow the engineers to measure the improvements in terms of lower friction and improved cooling, leading to greater performance and durability on the arduous PPIHC. 

“We’re excited to return to Pikes Peak with the Tesla Model 3,” said Keisuke Yokochi, chief marketing officer for ENEOS USA. “We’re confident Evasive Motorsports has built an incredible race car and know Dai is among the top drivers in the world. Lubricated and cooled by our advanced EV Fluid Series, we’re sure the team has its best chance of winning its class and setting a new record for electric vehicles this year.”
