[Voice Over]

Shell, in collaboration with DLG, a renown testing facility for over 100 years, set out to demonstrate the benefits of using Shell’s most advanced fuel and lubricants for heavy duty operations.

The test frame and parameters have been designed by an independent expert commission, which DLG engineers strictly adhere to.

[Scenes of engineers evaluating and discussing test results to check their status]

[Voice Over]

Together with Shell, DLG have developed a testing program that combines a series of PowerMix tests to verify the quality of fuels and lubricants.

We want to demonstrate product performance and benefits in real-world conditions. We’re testing our latest DYNAFLEX technology that we use in our Shell FuelSave Diesel and Diesel Extra and we’re comparing that against the standard diesels.

2.7% FUEL ECONOMY*

>> LOWER FUEL AND OPERATING COSTS

*FROM PTO TESTING

[Voice Over]

The test demonstrated 2.7% fuel economy, which can ultimately lead to lower fuel and operating costs.

[Scenes of heavy-duty equipment being operated on location]

[Voice Over]

The vehicles also experienced 5.6% more load- pulling power, which means reliable equipment when needed most in peak times.

[Scenes of heavy-duty equipment being operated at the DLG TestCenter and on location]

Results have confirmed that our modern fuels and lubricants reduce total cost of ownership.

The Shell project has been a good opportunity for the DLG TestCenter, because we tested 1000s of test cycles PowerMix with tractors, but now we also tested for fuels and lubricants.

[Scenes of heavy-duty equipment being operated at the DLG TestCenter]

Testing and demonstrating is very important to Shell, because we want to show our products deliver benefits to our customers.
