2013 marks a significant milestone for the local automotive industry, with the nation rolling out a new emission based vehicle tax system.
Many may have already heard of it by now. Known as Carbon Emission-Based Vehicle Scheme (CEVS), this new tax system will be in place starting January 2013. CEVS is a more comprehensive way to determine which cars are liable for heavier or discounted taxation of up to $20,000, based on cars' CO2 emission levels. Hence, the new system is likely to put lower emission vehicles to likes, at the same time advocating for the reduction of carbon footprint.
The New Year will also shine light on diesel powered cars. This type of vehicles has been long overdue from the local scene - vastly popular in the western continents as they are more economical to operate in the long run, but kept at bay due to the immensely costly diesel taxes on our shores.
Applicable only to diesel cars which meet emission standards of Euro V and above in January 2013, the diesel tax reduction from $1.25 per cc to $0.40 is a 68 percent reduction and will be attractive enough for people to take ownership for diesel cars.
Compatibility of aftermarket products for diesel cars
With a handful of marques announcing their diesel lineup for 2013, highlighting the grants permissible from CEVS, it leaves one to think about the next step - Aftersales Services.
The availability of compatible aftermarket products often influence the buying choiceMany motorists may leave the upkeep of their prized possessions to authorised dealers, but for those who like to take matters in their own hands (fixing up the cars that is), the availability of aftermarket products which are compatible for use on diesel cars play an important part in their buying decision.

Liqui Moly also has in store a wide range of engine oil additives for diesel applications. For example, the Super Diesel Additive enhances ignition performance; at the same time preventing deposit build up in the direct injection system. Common Rail Additive, on the other hand, is specially catered to engines sporting common rail technology.
These additives create a heavy duty lubricant film on sliding metal surfaces, thereby reducing friction. The products have been scientifically proven to enhance fuel efficiency, as well as prolonging the lifespan of engine components due to less wear and tear. The oil additives are suitable for all commercial motor oils in both petrol and diesel engines.
On the other hand, the Pro-Line DPF cleaner takes care of preventing particles build up in diesel engines. The product consists of a two part chemical cleaning system, which softens diesel particles, so that they can be more effectively combusted during the forced regeneration process.
Bear in mind that a DPF Filter costs several thousands of dollars. Hence, Liqui Moly's cleaning solution assures low maintenance costs and saves you from costly replacements.
Some products in the lineup are suitable for both, diesel and petrol applications. For instance, the Jet Clean Tronic Service works effectively for all fuel types. The unit operations through a automatic, computer controlled cleaning cycle.
Moreover, the system can be used to pump out fuel from the tank, as well as cleaning the tank interior. The JetClean Tronic Service revives your engine tremendously and will restore all the horsepower that was lost due to carbon deposit build ups that accumulate in every car over time.
The Pro-Line series of products are specially formulated to target diesel engines, for cleansing purposes
Tailored to each individual application
While many other lubricant manufacturers stick to a common recipe for most of their product offerings, Liqui Moly tailors each product specifically to the differentiated needs of their respective areas. This can be seen from the extensive range of product lineup.
The organisation also firmly believes in putting their products to test in the most demanding conditions. As such, Liqui Moly actively participates in various motorsports, more notably the FIA World Touring Car Championship (WTCC) and German ADAC Procar Series.
These events also enhance the brand's exposure around the globe. The firm strongly believes that by associating the brand name to motorsports and sporting events, where individuals are brimming with passion and enthusiasm, the brand can better relate to its customers.
