Using advanced fuel and lubricants products

New Shell Diesel with a fuel economy formula• Heavy-duty engine tests show fuel savings of up to 3%• Designed to keep the engine clean• Leading to more effective and efficient combustion• Keeps the fuel injectors free from carbon deposits• Helps prevent rust in the fuel pumps, lines and injectors• Prevents increased exhaust emissions and smoke

Shell Rimula R6 LME• Independent tests show fuel savings of 1.1%

• Even bigger savings possible with full suite of driveline lubricants (up to 5% compared with conventional grades)

• Low-ash and sulfur 5W-30 synthetic heavy-duty engine oil

• Includes anti-wear booster and protects after-treatment systems

Important influences on actual fuel consumption

35 ltr/100km

< 20 ltr/100km

Factors influencing fuel consumption:

• Vehicle selection (e.g. design, accessories)

• Operational practices (e.g. drivers, route selection)

• Maintenance practices (e.g. fuels, lubricants, tires)

• Environmental factors (such as wind, snow, temperature) also affect fuel consumption, but are generally less controllable.

� Many controllable additional factors can affect fuel efficiency

e.g. Aerodynamic losses (esp. > 80 km/h, up to 25% impact on fuel efficiency)

e.g. Driver influence (up to 30% variance between drivers)

e.g. Speed (increased speed reduces fuel efficiency )

e.g. Tyre pressure & condition (gas filling, partly worn tyres)

e.g. Traffic (avoid idling )

Background information-

New Shell Diesel with a fuel economy formula

How is New Shell Diesel different?

Enhanced New formulation• Exclusively developed by Shell scientists• Use of a unique combination of additives to ensure

- Enhanced detergency - Reduced corrosion - Good water separation- Reduced foaming

New Shell Diesel keeps the engine in peak condition• Keeps the injectors clean so the fuel spray is effective• Helps to maintain

- Good fuel economy- High engine performance- Low CO2 and smoke emissions

New Shell Diesel gives operators the protection to get the very best out of their vehicle

• New improved protection against corrosion, better detergency and better fuel economy

Fuel Cost

• Fouled injectors cause poor combustion and degrade fuel economy

Operating Efficiency

• Fouled injectors restrict fuel flow which reduces power and gives sluggish trucks

Maintenance Cost

• Injectors require expensive maintenance

Smoke Emissions

• Poor combustion leads to partially burnt fuel being emitted from the exhaust as smoke – poor operator image

Why is nozzle fouling so important for transport operators?

… keep the engine in peak condition ?

Regular Diesel* New Shell Diesel

New Shell Diesel helps to keep injectors clean – to prevent further depositformation that can occur during engine operation over longer periods of time. This keeps the engine running at peak efficiency – helping to

• avoid rising fuel consumption• prevent increased emissions and smoke• reduce fall-off in performance

*without a Fuel Economy formula

How does New Shell Diesel...

The effects of deposits in an engine testsimulating 40,000 miles driving

• In normal operation, deposits can gradually build up on the injectors

• Result: the fuel spray does not mix so well

• Fuel does not burn efficiently and performance decreases

• New Shell Diesel has been formulated to stop carbon and dirt building up (“keep-clean”)

• Clean injectors keep the engine running at peak condition:

- Better fuel economy

- More power

- Lower emissions and smoke

“My vehicle is a big investmentand I want to protect it

and get the most out of it for my business.”

New Shell Diesel helps to keep injectors cleaner for longer

maintain fuel consumption -

- maintain low emissions

Engine testing has shown that the New Shell Diesel formulation helps to

- maintain peak engine performance

Lab tests done on clean steel components

Regular Diesel* New Shell Diesel New Shell Diesel contains an anti-rustadditive that helps prevent rusting ofsteel components, particularly in theinjection pump.

The additives form a protective layerbetween metal surface and watermolecules.

• Various tests have proven that injector nozzle fouling with regularon-the-road diesel fuels does occur (can lead to efficiency losses of up to 5%)

• Several engine tests have successfully demonstrated the „keep clean“performance of New Shell Diesel‘s additive formulation

• More testing with the dual-fuel truck and on-the-road customer testing is taking place at the moment
