Valvoline Cummins & VE Commercial Vehicles extend exclusive aftermarket partnership for another term. Sep 16: Valvoline(TM) Cummins, a lubricant manufacturer and the original engine oil maker, today announced the extension of its exclusive partnership for service fill and after-sales with Eicher Trucks and Buses, a division of VE Commercial Vehicles Ltd. - a leading player in the commercial vehicle industry, for another term. This is the second renewal of the association since it was formed in 2019, making it one of the most enduring OEM-lubricant partnerships in India's commercial vehicle sector. The renewal comes at a defining moment for the industry, as fleet operators increasingly prioritize vehicle uptime and lower total cost of ownership while transitioning toward cleaner and alternate fuel technologies. The extended association positions both companies to serve these evolving needs through the continued development of application-specific fluids and a digitally integrated supply chain. Since 2019, Valvoline Cummins and Eicher Trucks and Buses have been associated for the supply of a premium range of lubricants, formulated exclusively for Eicher trucks and buses. Together, the companies have navigated major industry transitions, including the shift from BSIV to BSVI emission norms, while ensuring a seamless customer experience. The flawless integration of backend systems has streamlined order fulfilment and supply chain operations for VECV 's channel partners. Speaking about the extension, Mr. Sandeep Kalia, Managing Director, Valvoline Cummins Pvt. Ltd., said, "This renewal is not just the extension of a contract, it is the reaffirmation of trust built over seven years of solving real problems for Eicher Trucks and Bus customers together. India's commercial vehicle industry is entering its most exciting phase yet, with alternate fuels, longer drain intervals and digitally connected fleets redefining what operators expect from every kilometre. With this extended association, we are committed to staying ahead of that curve, developing fluids for emerging vehicle technologies and ensuring that every VECV truck and bus on the road delivers the uptime and efficiency its owner depends on. With our shared values and common vision, we continue to enable what moves the world forward." B Srinivas, MD & CEO, VE Commercial Vehicles, said, "We are thrilled to extend our long-standing partnership with Valvoline Cummins for high-performance lubricant solutions that specifically meet the demanding needs of Eicher truck and bus customers. This agreement reinforces our shared commitment to quality, reliability and customer success. I look forward to working closely with the Valvoline Cummins team to deliver lubricant solutions that further enhance vehicle performance, reliability and operational efficiency, while enabling superior uptime for Eicher Trucks and Buses customers across India." Looking ahead, the partners will collaborate closely on the next generation of fluid technologies aligned with where the industry is headed. This includes high-performance long drain interval fluids, solutions for alternate fuel applications such as CNG, and advancements in heat transfer fluids. Both organisations will also continue to leverage digital platforms to enhance service delivery, strengthen supply chain responsiveness and further improve the overall customer experience.

Dussel etches name in All Star win list at Sharon Speedway. August 31, 2026 Shared with dirtfan Rachel Wynkoop dirtfan.com did not create this news. Dirtfan is sharing a story that was sent to Dirtfan. Sharon Speedway, Hartford, Ohio, was one of the first tracks to host an All Star Circuit of Champions race in 1970. Names like Doug Wolfgang, Bobby Allen, Dave Blaney, and Dale Blaney grace the all-time win list, spanning 115 races. Now, during the NAPA Auto Parts All Star Circuit of Champions presented by Valvoline's 116th event at Sharon Speedway, Nate Dussel won his first career All Star race and etched his name in the history books. Starting 10th in the feature, Dussel worked his way through traffic with the help of a few cautions and one red flag. With 17 laps to go, Dussel made his way around Jeremy Weaver, who, until this point, had led every lap of the 35-lap feature. With laps winding down, Dussel pulled away from the field as Brandon Spithaler, A.J. Flick, Cale Thomas and Kalib Henry battled for second through fifth place. As Spithaler settled into second place, Thomas bided his time and passed Flick for third with three laps to go. With a clear track ahead of the top three, that's how they'd come to the checkered flag. "Been doing this for a lot of years. Ran a lot of All Star shows. Ran 19th at a lot of All Star shows," Dussel said in the Gates Corporation Victory Lane. "It's a tough group of cars around here. We've been really close the last couple of years, and that just made us want it more." Up next for the NAPA Auto Parts All Star Circuit of Champions presented by Valvoline is the Attica Ambush on Friday, September 4th, at Attica Raceway Park, Attica, Ohio, followed by the Bob Chaney Memorial on Saturday, September 5th, and the Pete Jacobs Memorial on Sunday, September 6th, at Wayne County Speedway, Orrville, Ohio.
