Since its establishment in 2013, the LubTop China Lubricant Industry Annual Awards and Automotive Service Competitiveness Evaluation (hereafter referred to as the "LubTop Awards") has been held annually, with this year marking its 12th edition. The LubTop Awards is dedicated to the mission of "Setting Industry Benchmarks, Inspiring the Future of the Industry." It aims to guide the advancement of lubricant products and technologies, while injecting new vitality into the sustainable development of the industry and fostering cross-sector integration.

Developing New-Quality Productivity in Services
Driving the development of new-quality productivity in services to support Chinese modernization, deepening industry chain interactions, and fostering cross-sector integration are the key features of the "LubTop2024 Annual Awards". This year's awards focus on a brand evaluation system based on five core dimensions: innovation-driven growth, market win-win collaboration, user experience, industry leadership, and green development.
In today's landscape of profound global industrial restructuring and the wave of the new energy revolution, how will the lubricant industry embark on a new journey toward high-quality development? The LubTop2024 Annual Awards for the Chinese Lubricant Industry aims to address these pressing questions. With the theme "Intelligent Innovation, Green Navigation," it seeks to ignite a transformative storm where intelligence and sustainability intertwine, propelling the entire industry towards a qualitative leap on the paths of technological innovation and green development.
The "LubTop2024 Annual Ranking" will select its honorees based on a comprehensive process starting with the pre-qualification of corporate submissions, followed by quality inspections carried out by a third-party authoritative organization, which hold veto power (disqualification right). The final ranking is determined through a combination of online user voting (accounting for 30% of the score), professional market research (20%), assessments by a panel of expert mentors (40%), and media observation and commentary (10%). Utilizing both online and offline big data along with intelligent algorithms, the LubTop Brand Honor Index is generated. This index will establish the definitive list for the LubTop2024 China Lubricant Industry Annual Ranking and culminate in a grand award ceremony that will be announced globally.
Empowering a New Ecosystem of Cross-Industry Integration
The "LubTop2024 Annual Ranking" is dedicated to facilitating interaction within the lubricant industry chain, pushing the boundaries of cross-industry integration to new heights by incorporating application scenarios from the automotive and equipment sectors. It aims to expand the ranking event's influence across various industries including automobile manufacturing, construction machinery, electric power petrochemicals, cement mining, machine tools and metal processing, logistics and transportation, auto repair and maintenance, as well as among distributors and vehicle owners. The objective is to spread positive narratives and promote the good reputation of the industry.
China, as the world's largest automotive market, has consistently led in global rankings for vehicle production and sales, new energy vehicle (NEV) output, and overall vehicle ownership. It has also become the largest exporter of automobiles globally. Building on this foundation, China has developed a comprehensive and interconnected automotive industry system, creating a trillion-yuan automotive service market.
