The automotive sector is one of the biggest end users in the lubricants market, as such fluids find widespread application in automobiles. The crankcases of engines are widely lubed in order to reduce friction between components that are in contact. This not only reduces wear and tear, but also keeps the vehicle running smoothly and with the optimum mileage. With people’s rising disposable income and strict norms regarding vehicular emissions and fuel efficiency, the consumption of lubricants in the auto sector continues to rise.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, the lubricants market is witnessing negative growth. Not only have the lockdowns implemented in several nations led to the closure of a large number of manufacturing plants, but non-essential movement has also been curtailed. Thus, due to few people using their personal vehicles, or using them at a much smaller scale than before, the need to regularly lubricating them has reduced.

In the past, the engine oil category held the largest share in the lubricants market, based on product type. The growing automotive industry, on account of the rising demand for vehicles for public and private transport, has been pushing the demand for engine oil. Engine oils play a vital role in making vehicles fuel-efficient, which is one aspect of transportation almost every vehicle owner worries about presently.

APAC has been the most-productive region in the lubricants market in the past few years. As regional countries have weaker environmental regulations and offer lower manufacturing costs than North American and European countries, lubricant manufacturers based in the latter two regions are shifting their production base to APAC.

The highest CAGR in the lubricants market is predicted to be observed in the Middle East and Africa (MEA) region during the next decade. As the largest oil-producing region on earth, the MEA boasts low lubricant prices, which encourage their wide adoption in industries. Further, with regional countries taking steps to reduce their dependence on oil and gas trade, they are giving impetus to other industries. Thus, with the construction of more manufacturing plants, the consumption of lubricants would rise massively here.

INRIX: Downtown Travel Plummets 44% in 2020 amid COVID-19 Pandemic

KIRKLAND, Wash., March 9, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — INRIX, Inc., a world leader in transportation analytics and connected car services, today published the

KIRKLAND, Wash., March 9, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — INRIX, Inc., a world leader in transportation analytics and connected car services, today published the 2020 Global Traffic Scorecard that identified and ranked congestion and mobility trends in more than 1,000 cities, across 50 countries amid a year that brought unprecedented economic and social disruption due to the onset of COVID-19. On average, American drivers lost just 26 hours this year in traffic, down from 99 hours in 2019, saving $980 over last year. Nationally, drivers saved more than 3.4 billion hours, resulting in $51 billion in time savings compared to 2019.

«COVID-19 has completely transformed when, where and how people move. Government restrictions and the continued spread of the virus led to shifts in travel behavior seemingly overnight,» said Bob Pishue, transportation analyst at INRIX. «Morning commutes in cities across the world went without delay as people reduced auto and transit travel to offices, schools, shopping centers and other public spaces.»

Drivers in New York (100 hours), Philadelphia (94 hours) and Chicago (86 hours) lost the most time to traffic congestion despite a 28% to 40% drop from 2019. Fourth-ranked Boston (48 hours), ranked first in 2019 with 101 hours lost, saw a 68% decrease in delay compared to last year. Washington, D.C. (29 hours) saw the largest change in congestion where delay fell 77% from 2019.

Downtown Trips Plummet
Much of a region’s traffic congestion centers around commutes to, from and within Central Business Districts. The closure of offices, restaurants, entertainment, fitness centers and other brick-and-mortar storefronts, along with limits on gatherings, had an outsized effect in the densest parts of each region.

Portland, Oregon saw the largest drop (-66%) in trips to downtown since the pandemic and related restrictions took hold, followed by San Francisco (-64%), Washington D.C. (-60%), Detroit (-59%) and Boston (-56%). Nationwide, the largest metros saw an average decline of 44% in city center trips. As a result, downtown speeds increased as much as 42%, providing further evidence that urban travel is still lagging behind in the recovery.

«Although travel to downtowns has been the most affected by the spread of the virus and subsequent government restrictions, the reduction in congestion has resulted in quicker commutes for essential workers, more reliable deliveries and streamlined freight movement, all of which are vital to the economy,» said Pishue. «We expect downtown trips will continue to lag suburban and rural travel through 2021.»

The Most Congested Corridors in the U.S.
Throughout the country, delay on the busiest corridors decreased versus 2019. Chicago’s Eisenhower Expressway had the most delay in 2020 at 41 hours, down from 56 hours in 2019. Other familiar names continued to top the busiest corridors list, albeit with dramatic reductions in delay, with New York’s Brooklyn Queens Expressway (30 hours) and Cross Bronx Expressway (23 hours) remaining in the Top 5. Last year, I-5 in Los Angeles topped the list at 80 hours of daily delay but dropped completely out of the Top 25 of 2020.

  • Interactive webpage with data and information for more than 1000 cities and 50 countries
  • Complete methodology
  • Blog post highlighting downtown commuter impact

Notes to Editors:
Data Sources
INRIX fuses anonymous data from diverse datasets – such as phones, cars, trucks and cities – that leads to robust and accurate insights. The data used in the 2020 Global Traffic Scorecard is the congested or uncongested status of every segment of road for every minute of the day, as used by millions of drivers around the world that rely on INRIX-based traffic services.

Research Methodology
The 2020 Scorecard builds upon the methodology adopted two years ago by identifying multiple commute areas within cities, capturing each city’s own unique mobility profile. Furthermore, the 2020 Scorecard analyzes travel times, miles-traveled, trip characteristics and the impact of incidents on congestion within a city. From this multifaceted approach, a holistic understanding is achievable in an increasingly complex landscape.

The INRIX 2020 Global Traffic Scorecard calculates time lost in congestion by employing traffic data across multiple commute sub areas within a city. Commute sub areas are identified based upon the concentration of trips concluding within a defined area. An economic analysis was performed to estimate the total cost to the average driver in a city, and a total cost to the city population. Worst corridors are limited to those that have the highest traffic volume and are ranked by the average hours of delay per driver in 2020. Additional metrics are available online and in the full report.

About INRIX
INRIX is the global leader in connected car services and mobility analytics. We use data and cloud-based insights to help our customers make mobility smarter, safer, and more efficient. With the ability to offer transportation services on every road in the world, we are the preferred provider of mobility intelligence for leading automakers, transport agencies and businesses.

We still have a long way to go in this recovery, yet these results point to positive trends in many industries. Now is the time to equip people with the digital and soft skills employers need as demand is likely to rise as organizations continue to accelerate their digitization plans.»

SÃO PAULO, Mar. 8, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — After an agreement and the recent emission of NTP («Notice To Proceed» or «Service Order») with Focus Energia, an integrated energy business platform, Sungrow will supply inverters and MV stations for the implementation of the first phase of the Futura Project, an 852 MWp solar park that will soon be one of the largest in operation in Latin America.

SÃO PAULO, Mar. 8, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — After an agreement and the recent emission of NTP («Notice To Proceed» or «Service Order») with Focus Energia, an integrated energy business platform, Sungrow will supply inverters and MV stations for the implementation of the first phase of the Futura Project, an 852 MWp solar park that will soon be one of the largest in operation in Latin America.

Considering the environmental authorizations already issued, approximately two thousand hectares will be destined for the implementation of the 22 parks in the first phase of the Project («Projeto Futura I»), with 38.73 MWp each. The designated area is about 40 km from the urban center of Juazeiro, in the north of the State of Bahia. Upon completion, its total capacity will be approximately 852 MWp, with an estimated investment of more than 2.2 billion Reais. In addition to the commissioning and start-up service, Sungrow plans to supply more than 100 MVS6300-LV transformation stations and more than 3,000 SG250HX inverters. The Futura I Project will be the largest photovoltaic plant under construction with bifacial modules, trackers, and string inverters in Latin America.

During the process of technical analysis of Sungrow’s solution with Focus, it was clear to Sungrow that some factors were decisive to the contract, such as its high performing inverters, the flexibility of reactive energy production in both day and night, the reduction of the capacitor banks needed to meet the requirements of the study of connection to the concessionaire network, and the fact that the SG250HX which is compatible with bifacial modules of 600 Wp.

Another fundamental differential was the high performance and low losses in the transformation of energy in MV station. In practice, the MV station gathers RMU, transformers and the low voltage three-phase panels of 800Vac, 3200A, according to NBR IEC 61439-1. The transformers supplied by Sungrow have a high efficiency especially compared to those normally sold in the Brazilian market, offering a higher yield of at least 0.2%, due to the manufacturing processes and low equipment losses. All of this translates into greater efficiency and the possibility to optimize the overall investment of the project.

According to Rafael Ribeiro, Country Manager of Sungrow Brazil, the company sees the importance of the Futura Project for the country and highlights its social and economic impact in the city of Juazeiro. «Supporting Focus in a project like this is a great responsibility and accomplishment for our team. It is estimated that more than eight thousand direct and indirect jobs will be generated in the region,» said Rafael Ribeiro.

The installation work is scheduled to start in April of this year and the plant’s commercial operation is scheduled to start in the first half of 2022.
