Shell launches “Expect more from Shell Fuels” campaign for its new and improved fuel range

Shell has launched a new marketing campaign titled “Expect more from Shell Fuels” to introduce its new and improved range of fuels in India. The campaign emphasizes Shell’s unwavering commitment to developing fuels that deliver an enhanced driving experience to customers. The new fuel formulation features a next-generation deposit targeting technology that removes harmful deposits, protects engine condition, and lasts up to 15 kilometres longer per tank for both two and four-wheelers. 

The campaign, creatively executed by VML, portrays a customer receiving unexpected and incredible perks at work that sound too good to be true, only to be jolted out of his daydream and realise that these are just figments of his imagination. With the tagline ‘Expect more from Shell fuels,‘ Shell assures customers that while high expectations in different life situations may not always materialize, the promise of exceptional value and quality from Shell fuels will consistently be fulfilled.

Introducing the new campaign, Kartiki Karihaloo, Manager Marketing, Mobility India, said, “We have always been committed to enhancing the mobility experience for our valued customers. With our latest campaign, ‘Expect more from Shell Fuels, ‘ we want to emphasize that even though life’s diverse experiences may not always exceed expectations, customers can always expect exceptional value and quality from Shell Fuels. It also builds upon our previous campaign ‘More than Just a Fuel Station’, marking another step forward in our journey towards enhancing our customer’s overall experience.”

The new fuel range, developed after five years of extensive research and 3 million kilometres of testing by a global team of 150 scientists, uses next-generation deposit targeting technology to remove harmful deposits from the engine’s critical parts, such as intake valves and fuel injectors, thus ensuring a smooth and efficient functioning leading to more mileage.

The debut TV commercial for Shell fuels will be launched across OOH, OTT, YouTube, Radio, and digital TV in four different languages.

Shell’s net carbon intensity

Also, in this [Press release] we may refer to Shell’s “Net Carbon Intensity”, which includes Shell’s carbon emissions from the production of our energy products, our suppliers’ carbon emissions in supplying energy for that production and our customers’ carbon emissions associated with their use of the energy products we sell. Shell only controls its own emissions. The use of the term Shell’s “Net Carbon Intensity” is for convenience only and not intended to suggest these emissions are those of Shell plc or its subsidiaries.

Shell’s net-Zero Emissions Target

Shell’s operating plan, outlook and budgets are forecasted for a ten-year period and are updated every year.  They reflect the current economic environment and what we can reasonably expect to see over the next ten years. Accordingly, they reflect our Scope 1, Scope 2 and Net Carbon Intensity (NCI) targets over the next ten years.  However, Shell’s operating plans cannot reflect our 2050 net-zero emissions target and 2035 NCI target, as these targets are currently outside our planning period. In the future, as society moves towards net-zero emissions, we expect Shell’s operating plans to reflect this movement. However, if society is not net zero in 2050, as of today, there would be significant risk that Shell may not meet this target. 

Shell expects to publish its 2024 Energy Transition Strategy on March 14, 2024, which will include an update on Shell’s energy transition strategy and set out Shell’s climate targets and ambitions for the future.
