Shell unveiled the new formulation for its premium line of fuels in an event held at the SMX Convention Center in Pasay last June 8, 2017. The new Shell V-Power is the company’s best fuel that promises both performance and efficiency. It was co-developed by Shell with Scuderia Ferrari, the oldest and most successful team competing in Formula One racing.

The launch began with a convoy of influencers and members of premium auto/motor organizations, with the participants coming from three locations: Shell SLEX Mamplasan, Shell EDSA Barangka, and Shell U.N. Avenue.

In his opening speech, Pilipinas Shell President and CEO Mr. Cesar G. Romero shared that the Philippines is one of the first wave of countries where the new formulation was launched.

“…This new product we are launching was developed through the hard work of our team of engineers and scientists across the globe with the sole interest of providing the best product for our customers,” Mr. Romero said.

As part of the night’s program, Shell Fuels Scientist Mae Ascan gave a presentation about the breakthrough behind the new formulation. The improved Shell V-Power has DYNAFLEX technology, which helps maximize energy from the fuel and improve engine condition.

“Shell V-Power’s DYNAFLEX technology is something that we have developed for over 5 years… It contains powerful cleaning molecules designed to remove deposits that may have been present in your engine. Shell V-Power Gasoline and Shell V-Power Racing contains our new friction-reducing molecules that’s designed to reduce friction whether you’re stuck in traffic or cruising the highway,” Ms. Mae Ascan explained.

Shell’s long-running partnership with Scuderia Ferrari played an important role in the development of this new premium formulation.
