Shell commissioned an independent study called ‘Fuel Matters’ – speaking with 100 South African fleet managers about important industry issues. The study found that 80% of respondents think that more effective fuel management could reduce their fuel spend by 5% or more. Respondents also believe that the brand of fuel and lubricant used in vehicles could potentially impact fuel consumption.
“Nowadays, the role of a fleet operator has become more important – and much more complex. Not only are they required to manage day-to-day fleet operations, they also have to determine new fuel and vehicle solutions, and find ways to minimise fuel consumption,” said Sagar Sen, marketing manager, Fuel Card, South Africa.
A key component in efficient fuel consumption is picking the right fuel for your vehicle. Good fuels burn more efficiently, keep your engine cleaner and free of deposits; thereby optimising performance and requiring less maintenance. With this in mind, Shell has designed a fuel range that is able to provide optimum engine life, performance and fuel efficiency. The Shell Diesel Extra and Shell V-Power Nitro + are Shell’s range of quality unleaded and diesel fuels that clean and protect your engine from corrosion, resulting in less costs on engine maintenance. The different fuels offer a range of benefits to your vehicles engine.
Shell Diesel Extra

It uses advanced Shell fuel technology and specifically developed unique additives to help improve engine efficiencies by preventing deposit build-up in injector nozzles.
Shell V-Power Nitro + diesel
The new and improved diesel formulation contains a more powerful detergent for fast and more effective clean-up of diesel fuel injection systems. It is also formulated to help restore and maintain engine power through active engine protection. Anti-rust functionality helps prevent corrosion of precision-engineered fuel injection systems.
