KEY STAKEHOLDERS

The European Engine Lubricant Quality Management System (EELQMS) has been developed jointly by three main industry stakeholders: ACEA (The European Automobile Manufacturers’ Association); ATC (The Technical Committee of Petroleum Additive Manufacturers in Europe); and ATIEL (The Technical Association of the European Lubricants Industry).

ACEA, ATC and ATIEL, together with the CEC (The Coordinating European Council for the Development of Performance Tests for Fuels, Lubricants and Other Fluids), which is responsible for developing test methods, share a mutual interest in the development of improved, fit-for-purpose engine lubricants that meet the increasing technical requirements of the automotive industry. The EELQMS arose out of this shared interest and was developed through close collaboration between these stakeholders.

ACEA

ACEA, the European Automobile Manufacturers Association, is an Economic Interest Grouping founded in 1991, that represents the interests of European car, truck and bus manufacturers. Its membership consists of the major international automobile companies, working together in an active association to ensure effective communication and negotiation with legislative, commercial, technical, consumer, environmental and other interests.
