Entrepreneurship and tradition

Dear readers,

Running a business means taking risks and assuming responsibility. Only where owner-ship and management are in the same hands can there be certainty that responsibility to-wards employees, customers and suppliers will be guaranteed in the long term and that the entrepreneurial flame is burning brightly.

Successful family companies are character-ized by a long tradition of entrepreneurship and a commitment to maintaining values that have been handed down over the years.MOTOREX has been successfully nurturingand developing these values for three genera-tions now. They are also the foundation of the ongoing technological advancement and business success of the BUCHERMOTOREX Group.

BUCHER MOTOREX’s traditional values are simple yet effective: personal responsibili-ty for the company in the hands of the family;autonomy from multinational concerns and external financiers; short decision-making lines; constant innovation; proximity to cus-tomers and their needs; and an outstandingworkforce.

So tradition does not mean revering the faded glories of yesteryear, but handing on the entrepreneurial flame and everything thisentails – responsibility for employees, prod-ucts and relations with customers.

I hope you will enjoy reading this 75th/26thedition of MOTOREX magazine.

OEKOSYNT HEES takes off Since the recent introduction of the rapidlybiodegradable OEKOSYNT HEES hydraulicfluid, a large number of new customers havebeen won over by the advantages of this fully

synthetic biofluid. In particular, the service life of OEKOSYNT HEES – 3 to 5 timeslonger than that of a conventional petroleum-based hydraulic fluid – was enough todispel any misgivings.

The second piece of good news concerns the newly set-up MOTOREX maintenanceprogram. Ultrafine filtering (see the article in the “In Practice” section on p. 11) and regular laboratory analyses mean that OEKOSYNT HEES can be used for evenlonger and more cost-effectively.

20 years of MOTOREX MC technologyAbout 20 years ago,

MOTOREX launched thefirst MC-based motor oil. The

abbreviation MC signifies the innova-tive MC (Molecularly Converted) syn-

thesis process. The base oil is refined

in an additional refining step until itsproperties are comparable with those of a considerably more expensive, fullysynthetic lubricant.

From the fleet oil MOTOREX MC Plus to SELECT MC, the top passengercar motor oil of its day, all MC-basedmotor oils offer impressive advantagessuch as synthetic performance, FEOproperties (Fuel Economy Oil), extend-ed oil change intervals, virtually no con-sumption (low NOACK) and muchmore. So far MC products have provento be a huge success in the marketplace.Now that’s smart technology!

Not just a ‘canned’ solution: MOTOREX ADDITIVESMOTOREX’s fuel, oil and coolant addi-tives couldn’t be any more varied if theytried. All in all, the range encompasses noless than 16 products, from our VALVEGUARD lead substitute to our RADIA-TOR CLEANER. However, it’s importantto remember that even the best additive isintended for protection, not repairs. Targeted use of an additive such as FUELDRY protects the entire fuel systemagainst water and corrosion, and is thus a preventive measure.

Even so, if a radiator springs a leak, it can be temporarily sealed using FORCE

coolant additive. So there are situationswhere the correct MOTOREX additive really does work wonders, even if it’s just a matter of preventing damage as far as

The universal concept covers just about

every way of drawing attention to your

company.

Some items provide space for you to

include the logos of other brands you

represent.

Clear and simple: The MOTOREX brand board concept

New structures – new market situation The introduction of the new Block Ex-emption Regulation has resulted inchanges to the contracts between garagesand importers, as well as to Switzerland’s“garage structure”. A distinction is nowdrawn between dealer and service con-tracts, which continue to be awarded bythe importers. Garages which fulfill thespecified standards have the right to aservice contract. Many garages no longerhave a dealer contract due to the stream-lining of sales networks. As a result, theyare refocusing their activities on serviceand maintenance for all brands. As a con-sequence, many garages are no longer promoting themselves as single-brand, but rather as multi-brand service opera-tions.

There is a clear need for non-brand-specific signage, and this may well be achance for your business to reposition itself...

Strong brand with synergy effects…in a highly visible, autonomous mannerusing MOTOREX’s new brand boardconcept. Because your customers not onlyappreciate your products and expertise,but also the personal contact with yourbusiness. According to a recent lecturegiven by Prof. Hannes Brachat, publisherof the German automobile trade journal“AUTOHAUS”, current maintenance intervals are too long for 70% of all cus-tomers! Customers’ need to consult theirgarage at least once a year is completely at odds with manufacturers’ specificationsthat provide for a two-year cycle. You canonly improve your chances of increasingyour sales if you have direct contact withyour customers, for example when they visit your workshop.

The MOTOREX brand goes back over 58 years, and, according to an independ-ent market study, is associated with thefollowing attributes:

– high quality– personal advice– core competence in lubrication– wide, comprehensive product range– professional customer service– Swiss quality– activities related to motor sports

What’s to stop you from benefiting fromthese positive brand associations too? If you’re already a customer, you are in the best position to evaluate them. And ifyou don’t know us yet, this is the time togive us a call.

The right concept for your businessIs the signage in your work-shops not yetor no longer professional and in tune withthe times? The new MOTOREX brandboard concept includes items such as alu-minum panels, illuminated signs, wallsigns, tube frame stands, stickers withopening times, funflags and much more.

The lettering panels professionally com-municate the name of your business andshow that you are a MOTOREX sales out-let. Both multiple-brand agents and trulyindependent garages can create a high-quality, “neutral” image for themselves.

Conditions are in constant flux in the mobility-business. New laws such as

the Block Exemption Regulation in Switzerland and the increasingly complex

requirements imposed on brand agents by vehicle importers require fast,

effective action to achieve sustainable success.

Your company name is a strong brand –

your customers know the strengths of

your company.

Prof. H. Brachat: «Garage owners are no

longer willing to let vehicle manufactures

tie them to a brand.»

Professional implementationThe MOTOREX brand board conceptwas developed with the assistance of highly experienced professionals and its clear,streamlined structure make it a winner.The first step from your side is to meetwith the MOTOREX area manager. Depending on the scope of the work, extensive investigations and possibly even official approval may be required. Installa-tion is then quick and straight-forward,performed by experts from the companywhich developed the concept.

The MOTOREX brand board concept asoffered to independent garages is not inany way associated with any shop concept.MOTOREX is keen to safeguard the con-tinued autonomy of independent garages,and we do not wish to force our customersinto a new dependency.

MOTOREX – not only a leader in lubrication, but also an valuable partner for forward-looking end-to-end solutions.

The stringent ACEA-04 specifications

require an ever lower sulfate ash content

in motor oil.

Automotive engineers have worked hardover recent years, continually bringing newtechnologies to market readiness. Theyhave been especially successful in taminglight diesel engines: smoother running,more power, higher torque – all with in-creasingly better fuel economy. At the sametime, however, the limits for maximum pol-lutant emissions have become ever more stringent. The requirements of the new EURO 4 exhaust gas standardgive motor oil a special significance in thereduction of pollutant emissions.

Custom formulasWith the introduction of the latest gen-eration of engines, most major engine manufacturers are demanding custom motor oils that comply with their in-housespecifications. This has frequently led tocomplications in car maintenance, as only a few motor oils have been officially ap-proved by the manufacturers.

The situation has since eased, but the com-plex specifications have not served to sim-plify lubricant logistics in the garages.MOTOREX has been fully aware of theseneeds for years.

PROFILE V-XL SAE 5W/30 for gasolineand diesel engines with DPF VW Standard 504 00 / 507 00This new high-tech motor oil withMOTOREX’s ground-breaking low-ashtechnology is ideal for all VolkswagenGroup brands – VW, Audi, Seat and Skoda– that have to comply with specificationVW 504 00/507 00 as well as ACEA stan-dards A3/B4-04 and C3-04.

In other words, this one motor oil meetsall VW and Audi standards for automobileengines with catalytic converters, dieselparticle filters (DPFs) and extended main-tenance intervals.

motor oil is required for modern diesel particle fil-

ters to function correctly.

With the introduction of the ACEA 04 sequences for gasoline and light diesel

engines with and without diesel particle filters (DPF), it is more important than

ever to choose the correct motor oil. But no matter how complex the subject

seems, MOTOREX PROFILE V-XL – for all Volkswagens – and SELECT LA-X will

see you through without a hitch.

ACEA 04: From Alfa to Volkswagen

This not only simplifies work in the shop,but also offers additional advantages suchas:

– easy handling and stores management

– state-of-the-art low-ash additive technology

– reduced diesel particle emissions – extended particle filter service life– extended oil change intervals

(long life)

The innovative PROFILE V-XL SAE5W/30 uses synthetic (synthetic perform-ance) base oils and additives specially devel-oped for this formula with an extremely lowsulfate ash content (low-ash).

SELECT LA-X SAE 5W/30:perfectly formulated for BMW LL-04and MB 229.31All engine manufacturers are constantly demanding high-capacity low-SAPS motoroils. MOTOREX is continuing theSELECT motor oils’ long-running suc-cess story with its SELECT LA-X SAE5W/30 high-performance motor oil, the first low-ash motor oil that can bewidely used in all passenger car engineswith exhaust gas post-treatment systemssuch as catalytic converters and particle filters. SELECT LA-X SAE 5W/30 complies with ACEA C3-04/A3/B4-04, BMW LL-04 (backwards-compatible) and MB 229.31.

The SELECT LA-X low-SAPS motor oilfeatures such convincing properties as:

– state-of-the-art low-SAPS technology

– reduced diesel particle emissions

– extended particle filter service life– extended oil change intervals

(long life)– low oil consumption

Both PROFILE V-XL and SELECT LA-X have a viscosity of SAE 5W/30 anduse a synthetic performance base oil withan optimized molecular structure and espe-cially low evaporation loss (NOACK). The motor oil thus remains stable forlonger even at extremely high tempera-tures and does not “disappear” through the crankcase breather. Depending onmanufacturer specifications, which mustalways be observed, extended oil changeintervals are also possible.

Increased efficiency with fewer oil typesWith its two new low-ash motor oils,PROFILE V-XL and SELECT LA-X,MOTOREX has the solution for all cost-conscious business owners and for all auto-mobile engines requiring an oil whichmeets the corresponding ACEA-04 speci-fication.

I n s i d e I n P r a c t i c e

Leadership is needed wherever people act together. When employees contribute to a shared task, their actions must be in everyone’sinterest; i.e. directed towards the entire company. Ultimately, the complex process of leadership determines the success of the business.A large number of individual factors play their part and can be viewed from three different perspectives:

In the MOTOREX strategy the Board of Directors and management have charted the course our group of companies is to follow. It describes medium- or short-term goals,duties and actions and defines the purpose and mode of conduct for the entire company.

Structure is the easiest element to describe. It comprises the company’s organization,meaning both its structural and procedural organization. Its structure is defined in the organization charts and job descriptions. The company has a large number of documentssuch as flow charts, ISO 9001/14 001 management systems, SOPs, protocols etc. thatrecord its processes and interaction with its environment.

Corporate culture is the entirety of a company’s shared standards, values, attitudes and knowledge. It determines the company’s conduct towards employees, customers and suppliers and therefore also its internal and external image.

“Our customers are the real employer.”

The Latin word “cultura”also means “tending the soil”. Applied to our company, this definition means that something can only grow if the ground has been cared for. A com-pany’s gardeners are its employees – everyone from apprentice to director – and their conduct determines events at the company and the company’s success.

It will never be possible to fully describe corporate culture in words because it is some-thing that develops gradually and is rooted in company traditions. You can sense the cul-ture of an industrial company, workshop or garage the first time you enter it, when youare in contact with a new supplier or holding a sales discussion the first time you visit acustomer.

“Innovation born of tradition – a tradition of innovation.”

It’s great that you are also a part of the MOTOREX corporate culture!

is like a rope; you can’t

push it, just pull.”

Hydraulic fluid: maintenance pays

The long service life of a high-quality

hydraulic fluid such as OEKOSYNT

HEES can be extended still further by

specific care and maintenance.

The longer service life yields a meas-

urable increase in cost-efficiency.

Regular fluid analyses are useful for rapiddetermination of critical parameters suchas the viscosity and acidity of the hydraulicfluid and make it easier to initiate timelycorrective measures. Periodic separation of the water and ultrafine filtering of thecontaminant particles can protect thehydraulic system and extend the service life of hydraulic fluid.

Measures to prevent water and particlesEvery plant operator can improve hydrau-lic fluid quality by filtering. By combininga cyclone moisture separator and particlefiltration, the Schupp filter unit reduceswater content and particle count in a singlestep. The hydraulic fluid can thus achievethe desired long service life at minimumexpense even in extremely challengingconditions.

The interior of a hydraulic system is aharsh environment, with working pres-sures of up to 350 bar and temperatureswhich are often well over 100º C. The system pumps several thousand liters ofhydraulic fluid per hour and transmits immense forces. Such high working pres-sures can only be generated with highmanufacturing precision and perfect inter-action of the hydraulic components. Thehydraulic fluid must also interact reliablywith these parts.

Aging is not the only enemy…Using fully synthetic MOTOREXOEKOSYNT HEES hydraulic fluid givesthe system what it needs to ensure reliabletop performance over a long period oftime. It is important here to know the fourparameters that affect pthe performance ofa hydraulic fluid:

The upstream cyclone moisture separa-

tor and coarse filter efficiently clean the

hydraulic fluid.

The Schupp SF 010/Bio filter unit with

a cyclone moisture separator can be easily

inserted into the fluid bypass line.

1. ViscosityViscosity is the most important property of a hydrau-lic fluid.The fluid consists of long molecular chains;the longer these are, the more viscous the product.Extreme loads can break these chains, resulting in a noticeable reduction in viscosity.

2. Acid formationHigh temperatures and oxygen from the air cause the hydraulic fluid to become more acidic and lowerits TAN (Total-Acid-Number) over time.This in turncan give rise to sludge formation and corrosion.A highly effective additive package can be used to delay this process for a long time.

3. Water fractionMoisture and water can penetrate hydraulic systems– especially in wet operating environments, in under-ground or waterway facilities, but also in snow (ski resort equipment) – and the metal surfaces may cor-rode or suffer cavitation damage.

4. Particles and contaminantsContaminants and small microscopic particles sus-pended in the fluid compromise the leak-tightness of the hydraulic system and prevent it achieving theproper operating pressure.The particle count in thehydraulic fluid increases continuously over its servicelife.These particles can be effectively filtered out.

…and until now, the machining fluid in the center had to be factored in or evenchanged. You know why: until recently, not every cutting oil was suitable for machining different materials. But sincethe launch of MOTOREX ORTHO NF-X, this is a problem of the past.Whether for high-alloyed steel, non-ferrous metals, aluminum or even castings,

MOTOREX ORTHO NF-X is suitablefor any material – with no compromises!

Greatly improved flexibilityAnyone who frequently manufactures series of parts from different materialsknows the great advantage of needs-centered machinery scheduling.

Red bronze parts consist of a malleable

copper/zinc alloy. Here again ORTHO NF-X

produces top-quality results.

“Which machining center should we use to manufacture that part that’s just

been ordered at short notice? It’s made of brass. No problem, but does the

free center have the right cutting oil in it?” Production-planning issues like

these are all too familiar. A short-turnaround order comes in and a suitable,

free machining center has to be found somewhere in the factory…

7good reasons to use ORTHO NF-XMeasurably lower tool costs (up to 12%)

are a reality thanks to ultra-modern tools

combined with ORTHO NF-X!

These days customers’ deadlines are set in stone and play a major role in winningorders. The days when companies neededa bewildering array of different machiningfluids are finally past! MOTOREX tookthe first step in the right direction with itsvmax generation SWISSCUT ORTHONF-X universal cutting oil.

Clear to see: the 7 good reasonsDevelopment activities for ORTHO NF-X focused on the desire for improvedproductivity, longer tool life and optimummachining results. And the product bene-fits should be clearly visible to the user.

Liquid technologyMOTOREX has been investing in re-searching and developing innovative cut-ting oils for over 30 years. A milestone was reached with the introduction ofMOTOREX vmax technology (increasedcutting rates). This technology makes specific use of the heat generated duringmachining and, at the maximum machin-ing rate, has a positive effect on the machining process. The result is desirablechemical synergy effects and increasedproductivity, something that ORTHO

NF-X achieves using a balanced additivepackage. Over a dozen active ingredientsensure measurably optimized cutting parameters and flawless surfaces.

Good grades from usersModern machine tools pump up to 300liters of cutting oil per minute through the machining area and sophisticated tech-nology is making them ever more precise.Today it’s not uncommon to work in themicron range. It’s therefore perfectly understandable that some experiencedsmall-parts turners might treat a universalcutting oil which is also suitable for high-speed machining with a certain degree ofskepticism. These misgivings are unjusti-fied though and are usually dispelled afterthe first test run with ORTHO NF-X atthe latest. Then it becomes clear that ORTHO NF-X is a tried-and-tested fluidthat perfectly meets user requirements.

We’ll be pleased to give you further infor-mation on the new generation of ORTHOcutting oils, and recommend a real-life on-site test under the expert guidance of a MOTOREX industry specialist.

Things often heat up at the “sharp end” with

up to 300 liters of cutting oil flowing through

the machining area every minute.

Machine tools that use ORTHO NF-X can be

deployed more flexibly. This ensures that

production never has to face a red light.

MOTOREX ORTHO NF-X offers the following 7 top selling points:1. Usable with all materials.

2. Optimum cutting rates with vmax technology, resulting in shorter workpiece times.

3. Reduced costs thanks to measurably higher tool life.

4. Low-odor, low-mist and no heavy metals or chlorine.

5. Workpieces can be quickly, easily and thoroughly cleaned.

6. New additive technology does not compromise paints, varnishes, sealing materials or non-ferrous metals.

7. Complies with the BOSCH and DaimlerChrysler negative lists as well as VDA guidelines.Ideal for medical technology manufacturing processes.

High in the skies with the MOTOREX SUPER CHART airplane

The Dakar 2005 Rally was over a few months ago now – goodenough reason for the people of Keith, the home town of AndyCaldecott, to show their pride in their most famous son. Andy rode for the Australian MOTOREX KTM team this year, battlingfor 18 days alongside David Schwarz and mechanic Neil White on the over 9,000 km route.

The results are highly respectable: Both riders crossed the finish-ing line safe and sound, and Andy Caldecott was placed 6th overall,collecting two stage victories along the way in his second DakarRally. Dakar first timer, David Schwarz came in 37th overall andmore impressively was placed 3rd in the 251 to 450 cc class and 7th out of the rookie riders.

the aircraft and then flying it. Enthusiasts frequently invest up to 250 hours of work and significant amounts of cash in their magnificent flying machines.

The photo shows the Super Chart plane belonging to Kurt Widmer from Langenthal as it takes to the skies in MOTOREXlivery. Weighing only 2.2 kg, the radio-controlled model can be flown with total responsiveness within a range equal to the “pilot’s” field of vision. It is powered by a 7.5 cc methanol engine, which turns at an impressive 14,000 rpm. The plane hasa wingspan of 160 cm, enough for a few aerobatic tricks, such asloops, rolls, etc. The only hitch is that it has to come back downto earth every 12 minutes for refuelling. Fortunately there are noplans to use it on transatlantic flights…
