TotalEnergies Extends Kia Lubricants Partnership Through 2031

· Lubricants & Chemicals · South Korea

Kia Europe and TotalEnergies have extended their partnership through 2031 with a five-year cooperation agreement, the companies said. Kia has worked with TotalEnergies, a global integrated energy company, since 2011 to supply lubricants to Kia customers in Europe. The renewal locks in a long-running OEM lubricants supply relationship for another five years, reinforcing TotalEnergies' position as a supplier to a major automaker's European aftersales network. Such agreements tie lubricant brands to vehicle makers' service channels and give suppliers predictable volumes in a competitive market.

Why it matters：OEM supply tie-ups are a key channel for lubricant makers seeking stable volumes, and the renewal shows automakers are continuing to formalize fluids partnerships as powertrain lineups evolve.

Key points

  • The agreement runs through 2031 and covers a five-year term.
  • Kia and TotalEnergies have partnered on European lubricant supply since 2011.
  • TotalEnergies supplies lubricants to Kia customers in Europe.
