Features, Benefits & Performance Overview Motul has developed a dedicated range of petrol engine oils engineered to meet the unique operating demands of hybrid vehicles , including frequent start-stop cycles, low engine operating temperatures, fuel dilution, and strong fuel-economy requirements. Two key products in this portfolio are Motul H-Tech 100 Plus 0W-20 and Motul NGEN Hybrid .

AI is now core to the latest generation of ADAS: deep-learning perception stacks, on-board real-time inference and sensor fusion enable crash-avoidance features that demonstrably reduce collision rates (notably AEB/FCW), while vehicle dynamics control is evolving from rule-based ESC to predictive, AI-assisted torque-vectoring and integrated stability management. Modern systems combine camera/radar (and in some programs lidar, mapping and environmental sensing) to detect, predict and act within fractions of a second; this increases safety but also creates new service obligations — precise sensor calibration, validated software/firmware management, authenticated OTA updates and documented post-repair procedures.
