Energotest Fuel Consumption Test | Transport Canada Results
Energotest™ Fuel Consumption Test Results
Official fuel consumption testing conducted at Transport Canada Motor Vehicle Test Centre in Blainville, Quebec. Cerma was selected as one of seven suppliers to participate in the 8th Energotest campaign, a controlled test-track study evaluating solutions for achieving higher fuel efficiency and lower greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the trucking industry.

About Energotest™
The Energotest project conducts controlled test-track studies of solutions for achieving higher fuel efficiency and lower emissions of greenhouse gases (GHG) in the trucking industry. Energotest allows fleets to choose the most efficient solutions, and helps technology suppliers better focus their development efforts.
Cerma Treatment Protocol
Technologies from seven suppliers were chosen for testing by Program Innovation Transport (PIT) partners. Ola Breau was among the selected suppliers, and they submitted the CERMA product for testing. The ceramic treatment was applied according to the supplier's instructions:
| Application | Amount |
|---|---|
| Engine oil | 340 grams (12 oz) |
| Power steering system | 28 grams (1 oz) |
| Differential | 170 grams (6 oz) |
| Trailer wheels | 28 grams (1 oz) per wheel |
How Cerma Works (Per Test Documentation)
According to the supplier, CERMA forms a micro-ceramic silicon carbide (SiC) seal on all metal parts. When used on engines, it would:
- Impede the formation of sludge and abrasive carbon
- Increase compression, power and torque
- Improve fuel economy and turbo life
- Decrease emissions, black smoke, vibrations, wear, and turbo lag
When used on transmissions and differentials, CERMA would not allow the formation of sludge and varnish, which would restore fast smooth shifting.
Why This Test Matters
- Government facility – Transport Canada testing provides official credibility
- Controlled conditions – Professional test track eliminates variables
- Competitive evaluation – Cerma tested alongside 6 other technologies
- Fleet relevance – Results applicable to commercial trucking operations
- GHG focus – Addresses environmental and regulatory concerns
