Chevron Introduces Rykon Grease Product Line in Asia

The new calcium sulfonate complex-based grease is designed for heavy-duty and extreme pressure applications.


SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 28 October 2024 – Chevron announces the availability of their newest grease product range in the Asia-Pacific region, following the introduction of Rykon greases last year in North America. Rykon addresses the critical need for a high-performance grease that increases uptime and enhances durability to maximise the performance of equipment across a variety of industries. With its unique formulation, Rykon is targeted at heavy-duty and extreme pressure applications for on and off highway mining, construction, agriculture, and forestry equipment. This calcium sulfonate complex-based grease provides an alternative option to lithium-based thickeners, which have become increasingly expensive due to rising global demand.

“Industrial and commercial users are seeking alternatives to lithium greases to sustain production and control their operating costs without compromising performance,” said Sheryl Law, General Manager for Marketing & Sales Support, Chevron International Products. “As modern equipment and machinery are designed to run faster and longer, typically under hot and harsh conditions, the quality of grease has become crucial. The launch of Rykon underscores Chevron’s commitment to providing quality heavy-duty lubricant products and offering its customers improved grease options to help optimise performance and productivity. Formulated with advanced technology for on-highway, off-highway, and in-plant applications, Chevron’s Rykon range exceeds the demands of machinery and equipment today.”

Available in three variants – Rykon EP 2, Rykon HD 2 and Rykon HD 2 M5, they are designed to increase equipment longevity, extend lubrication intervals, and reduce the total cost of equipment ownership. They deliver outstanding oxidation and thermal stability with superior water washout performance to protect equipment from failures and downtime.

The introduction of Rykon into the market is a testament to Chevron’s commitment to delivering high quality products that help people do their jobs better. At an aggregate quarry customer in California, USA, continued use of Chevron Rykon HD 2 M5 over a 6-week period saw a 30% reduction in grease consumption by a large wheel loader working non-stop for ten (10) hours a day transferring aggregate loads weighing as much as 12 tons onto dump trucks. Despite extreme summer conditions and high temperatures, Rykon maintained its consistency without leaking or bleeding from pins and bushings.

For availability of Rykon greases, please check with your local Caltex distributors. To explore the complete range of Rykon products and discover how they can enhance the lifespan of machinery and vehicles, visit the Caltex website or contact a local Chevron or Caltex representative.

Vingroup launches VinVentures capital fund


HANOI, VIETNAM – Media OutReach Newswire – 28 October 2024 – On October 28, 2024, Vingroup announced the launch of the VinVentures capital fund, with total assets under management of 150 million USD. The fund is dedicated to investing in high-impact technology startups, aiming to foster and develop the startup ecosystem. This initiative is expected to contribute significantly to the creation of digital technology enterprises in Vietnam and across the region.

Vingroup launches VinVentures capital fund


VinVentures is a capital fund sponsored by Mr. Pham Nhat Vuong and Vingroup. The fund currently manages total assets of 150 million USD, of which 100 million USD is an inherited investment portfolio from Vingroup, with an additional 50 million USD expected to be disbursed over the next three to five years.

The primary investment focus of VinVentures includes Artificial Intelligence (AI), Semiconductors, and Cloud Computing, as well as other high-tech products. Moreover, the fund also welcomes startups from diverse sectors, provided they demonstrate growth potential and the ability to deliver quality products and services, without being limited to those associated with Vingroup.

The fund initially targets Vietnamese market, focusing on startups with local founding teams in the early stages, specifically the seed and Series A rounds—which are the second and third of five typical funding rounds for startups. In the future, the fund aims to broaden its scope to include startups in regional markets with development traits similar to Vietnam, such as Singapore, Indonesia, and the Philippines.

In terms of the investment process, the fund collaborates with potential investees through a series of defined steps: initial meetings, exchange of information, detailed research on the product and its target market, thorough investment appraisal, signing of negotiation agreements, and then the final investment contract. The timeline from when a startup submits its application to when it secures funding typically spans 2 to 3 months, maxing up to 6 months for larger-scale transactions.

VinVentures sets forth specific investment criteria, targeting startups that demonstrate potential for sustainable growth, robust growth rates, and commercially viable products and services with substantial practical applications. Additionally, these startups must be led by founding teams with established credibility and extensive experience. Investment transactions are executed on a foundation of professional investment principles, wherein VinVentures acquires equity stakes, becoming a shareholder in the company with clearly defined profit expectations.

Ms. Le Han Tue Lam, Managing Director of VinVentures, stated: ‘Beyond providing capital, VinVentures offers startups a unique advantage by facilitating connections within the Vingroup ecosystem. This includes using the ecosystem as a rigorous platform for evaluating and testing products and services before they enter the market, with the potential for these companies to also become customers of the startups. Moreover, by leveraging our extensive network and resources as the leading corporation in Vietnam and the region, we are equipped to provide advice and assistance. This support helps startups to establish relationships with major market partners and acts as a catalyst for their future growth

Investing in technology startups has consistently been a strategic priority for Vingroup as it transitions into Vietnam’s leading technology conglomerate. Prior to VinVentures, Vingroup had already invested in numerous tech startups through funds such as Vingroup Ventures and VinTech City. With robust resources from the conglomerate, these startups have successfully developed and launched products to the market, with some even rising to become leaders in their respective fields, including VinBigData, VinAI, VinBrain, VinCSS,…

By continuing Vingroup’s commitment to nurturing and expanding digital technology enterprises, VinVentures will strategically optimize opportunities for the realization and introduction of innovative technology ideas into the Vietnamese and regional markets, at the same time broadening the conglomerate’s revenue streams

According to the Global Startup Ecosystem Report (GESER 2023) by Startup Genome, Vietnam’s startup ecosystem is currently ranked third in Southeast Asia, boasting an estimated economic impact of $5.22 billion. The number of startups in Vietnam has dramatically increased from approximately 1,600 during the Covid-19 pandemic to over 3,800 at present, with AI startups making up nearly 10% of the total.

Startups interested in partnering with and receiving investment from VinVentures are encouraged to contact us via email at contact@vinventures.net and fill out the application form here

A significant milestone in our journey was the introduction of the licensing regime for Virtual Asset trading platforms in June last year.”

He added that later this year, the Government will introduce legislation to regulate fiat-referenced Stablecoin issuers, establishing a secure framework for this emerging market. Additionally, a second round of public consultation will be held on regulatory proposals for over-the-counter VA trading, along with a proposed licensing regime for VA custodian service providers to ensure the safekeeping of digital assets in line with international standards.

Eric Chan, Chief Public Mission Officer of Cyberport, in his welcome speech at the “Web3.0 Innovation Expo”, said: “Web3.0 technology is an innovative field with enormous potential, attracting the attention of many investors. The HKSAR Government is committed to accelerating the development of this ecosystem, aiming to position Hong Kong as a Web3.0 hub. Cyberport, home to Hong Kong largest Web3.0 community, recently established the ‘Web3.0 Investment Circle’ (W3IC) under the Cyberport Investors Network (CIN). We believe this will facilitate more Web3.0 investment matching and explore new business opportunities for the Cyberport community in the future. This initiative will lead the industry to engage in in-depth discussions and discover innovative technologies, thereby enhancing the influence of Hong Kong start-ups.”

Georgina Chu, Chief Corporate Development Officer of Cyberport, stated in her keynote speech of the Development of Web3Hub@Cyberport: “Cyberport has always been committed to fostering innovation and promoting collaboration in the Web3.0 field, and we have made significant progress to date. As of September this year, we have attracted over 270 Web3.0 companies from Hong Kong, Mainland China, and regions such as North America and Europe, demonstrating the diversity and vibrancy of our community. With the increasing integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the Web3.0 domain and the growing application of AI technology across various industries, the SAR Government recently allocated HK$3 billion to Cyberport for the launch of the AI Subsidy Scheme. This scheme aims to boost local research and AI development, promote more scientific breakthroughs, and collaborate with the industry to advance Hong Kong’s goal of becoming an international I&T hub.”
