Executive Summary

  • GMG demonstrated its graphene‑enhanced lubricant, G‑LUBRICANT, in a 3,850 km charity rally, achieving a fuel consumption reduction from 10.8 L/100 km to 9.3 L/100 km (≈13.8% improvement).
  • The test also yielded ancillary benefits reported by the rally team: lower engine temperature and smoother operation.
  • GMG highlighted the result as evidence that its lubricant can consistently deliver ≥10% fuel savings, supporting broader commercial rollout plans.

Key Details

  • Test Route: Gold Coast → Alice Springs (2,650 km pre‑rally) then Alice Springs → Gold Coast (3,850 km rally).
  • Baseline Fuel Use (pre‑G‑LUBRICANT): 10.8 L per 100 km on a Ford Falcon gasoline engine.
  • Post‑Application Fuel Use: 9.3 L per 100 km, a reduction of 1.5 L/100 km (~13.8% saving).
  • Road Composition: Pre‑rally – 2,180 km sealed, 470 km unsealed; Rally – ~2,000 km sealed, ~1,850 km unsealed with river crossings and severe ruts.
  • Team Feedback (Scott Hubbard): Noted better fuel efficiency, reduced engine temperature, smoother engine sound; vehicle suffered extensive mechanical damage except for the engine, which remained functional.
  • CEO Comment (Craig Nicol): Emphasized consistent feedback that G‑LUBRICANT delivers 10%+ fuel savings and praised the rally result as validation of product performance.
  • Chairman Comment (Jack Perkowski): Described the rally outcome as a strong customer testimonial for the product.
