VALVOLINE GLOBAL ACCELERATES ASIA PACIFIC GROWTH

The organisation has announced new collaborations with Horse Powertrain

Valvoline Global Operations has announced an expanded strategic partnership with Horse Powertrain (Horse), a global manufacturer of powertrain solutions and joint venture between Geely, Renault, and Aramco, which supplies automotive engines for Geely and other top automakers.
Building on an existing factory-fill collaboration with Horse, the expanded partnership extends Valvoline Global’s lubricant solutions into a broader vehicle service ecosystem, accelerating its business expansion in the Asia Pacific region.
Separately, Valvoline Global has entered a long-term aftersales agreement with Geely Auto Group (Geely), one of China’s largest automakers, to become its designated lubricant technology partner.
As such, Valvoline Global will now supply high performance aftermarket lubricants for Geely vehicles, including other owned and operated brands under its parent company.
Together, the expanded Horse and Geely partnership positions Valvoline to deliver a seamless lubricant solution which supports vehicles from initial assembly through the aftermarket ownership experience.
“Valvoline has demonstrated deep technical capability, a robust global supply chain, and a shared commitment to advancing the next generation of mobility solutions,” Horse Powertrain Chief Procurement Officer, Simon Hu, said.
“This long-term collaboration reinforces our ability to deliver exceptional performance, durability, and sustainability to our customers, and we are pleased to have Valvoline Global as a strategic partner.”
“Our strengthened partnership with Horse Powertrain and Geely Auto Group is representative of where Valvoline Global is going,” Valvoline Global Operations SVP and General Manager for APAC, Michael Dreyer, said.
“By delivering innovative, OEM-endorsed solutions from factory-fill to aftersales, supported by 160 years of expertise, we are working not just as a legacy oil brand, but as a preferred technology partner for next-generation mobility.”
As part of Valvoline Global’s agreement with Geely, the brand introduces a new line of co-engineered lubricants for Geely vehicles, including the Valvoline Geely Ultra Full Synthetic Engine Oil, Valvoline Geely Full Synthetic Engine Oil, and others.
Co-developed with Geely and validated through rigorous OEM testing, these synthetic and full synthetic formulations are engineered for fuel economy, engine efficiency, and cleanliness, and protection of critical engine components. All formulations available to consumers meet powertrain specifications required by Horse.
With 160 years in the lubricant industry, Valvoline Global says it is uniquely positioned to bring innovative products to car owners, who will benefit from the brand’s proven expertise.
Valvoline Global says the partnership also reflects its continued investment in strategic growth markets across the Asia Pacific region for business expansion and leadership in the rapidly advancing mobility sector, stating these integrated strengths now serve as a compelling reference for pipeline OEMs seeking a future ready lubricant partner.
