MCVE 2019 - Shell Malaysia Showcases Solutions for Transporters - New Rimula Ultra Announced and Will Be Launched Here Soon


We still haven't finished with reports on the happenings at the recent 2019 Malaysia Commercial Vehicle Expo (MCVE). Well, this could be the final one actually and it is about Shell Malaysia. The energy provider had showcased its complete end-to-end fleet lubrication solutions for the transport and logistics industry. This is the Shell Rimula range of premium low viscosity synthetic lubricants, Shell FuelSave Diesel with Dynaflex Technology and Shell Card which will benefit fleet operators by helping them achieve optimum efficiency, productivity and reduce total cost of ownership.



Shell Rimula’s premium lubricants are designed to not only achieve greater fuel economy and longer oil drain intervals but are also able to withstand extreme temperatures and loads in tough operating environments, while having a positive impact on lowering emissions. As such, they meet or exceed the current API CK-4 specification standards.

One other item Shell Shell Lubricants would like to stress upon is the compatibility of their engine oil with bio-fuels especially Malaysia's B10 bio-diesel. Marketing General Manager May Tan said that customers in Malaysia can be rest assured that Shell Rimula lubricants are globally compatible with bio fuels, including B10 bio diesel in Malaysia.

May said, “As a technology leader, Shell has been evaluating bio diesel’s impacts and developing lubricants to meet challenges such as increased oxidation, creation of deposits, changes in oil viscosity and engine component corrosion.  Shell Rimula was tested in stringent oxidation, bearing and engine tests and performed above requirements which enhances the value of our end-to-end solutions for the transport and logistics industry” 

Shell Malaysia has also announced that Malaysia is set to be the first market in ASEAN to launch the all-new Shell Rimula Ultra. This is the flagship Rimula engine oil and it is one of the most advanced fully synthetic heavy-duty diesel engine oils in the world according to Shell. The Rimula Ultra complies with European ACEA E6 and ACEA E9 specifications and manufacturers’ approvals for use in ultra-modern diesel engines that comply with Euro 4 to Euro 6 emission standards.  It offers longer oil life and extended oil-drain intervals of up to 150,000 km, better engine wear protection under all terrains and weather conditions as well as better fuel economy. A heavy duty premium engine oil for vehicles that need the added protection.


The company also recommends using Rimula engine oil together with Shell FuelSave Diesel.  This high-quality diesel from Shell features Dynaflex Technology and can help keep a vehicle’s engine clean and protected for efficient running. With fuel expenses being one of the largest operating expenditures in running a fleet of vehicles, the annual savings from cleaner and more efficient engines can be significant.

One other solution for optimum productivity and efficiency is to manage fuel needs and its operating costs with Shell Card. Equipped with more than 50 years of experience and expertise, it provides a simpler, more secure and convenient way for fleet owners to purchase high quality fuels and keep their trucks running by enabling access to more than 900 Shell retail stations nationwide.  Shell Card is able to manage fuel expenses efficiently and effectively for companies with a single online invoice coupled with data insights needed for more customised solutions.

By the way, Shell is the official fuel and lubricant partner for the 2019 MCVE and had quite a nice display there.
