“I thank the company for its commitment to ensuring that customers receive the best quality products whenever they visit their operations,” Moagi said, adding the launch of this new fuel demonstrates their determination to adapt to changing engine technology to meet customer needs.

The new fuel formulation is designed to work with both modern and older vehicles. The Minister noted this was a ‘welcome development’ as it caters to various customers in the local market and ensures no one is left behind.

The new fuel with dynaflex technology is said to contain three times the cleaning molecules of Shell FuelSave, which is ultimately better for the environment as it means fewer emissions are released, the Voice reports.
