Petronas brings better quality, cleaner diesel to Sabah
KOTA KINABALU: In line with the increasing demand for better quality and cleaner diesel in the region, Petronas Dagangan Berhad (PDB) yesterday extended its enhanced Petronas Dynamic Diesel Euro 5 with Pro-Drive to Sabah, with plans to expand to 20 stations by year-end and to gradually increase the availability over the next year.
Based on the laboratory tests conducted, the Petronas Dynamic Diesel Euro 5 with Pro-Drive removes deposits and protects injectors thus allowing the fuel to effectively clean the engine, ensuring optimum engine efficiency.
PDB’s Head of Retail Business Division, Aadrin Azly, said, “At Petronas, we continuously improve our products to ensure that we offer our customers only the best. Since we launched this earlier in Peninsular and Sarawak, we have received good feedback and have seen a marked increase in our diesel sales volume. Sensing the growing demand for better quality and cleaner diesel, we are ramping up efforts in making sure everyone will benefit from the new formulation, including Sabahans.”
In comparison to other diesel fuels in the market that were tested, results shown that the Petronas Dynamic Diesel Euro 5 with Pro-Drive recorded higher cetane number, which helps to improve combustion resulting in smoother drivability, cleaner emission and lower noise. Petronas Dynamic Diesel Euro 5 with Pro-Drive also has higher heating value, indicating more energy per kilogram fuel to deliver better fuel economy.
This is evident during an Experience to Believe road trip organised earlier for various diesel car clubs to put the enhanced fuel to test.
One of the participants, Ritchie Fernandez, who drove a Mitsubishi Triton said, “The Petronas Dynamic Diesel Euro 5 with ProDrive reduces consumption, and provides savings about 2% - 3%.”
Another participant, Lum Tuck Chin, the owner of a Ford Ranger commented, “I definitely experience better fuel consumption. Even driving on the highway with heavy footer, I could still save about one litre per 100 kilometer.”
The improved Petronas Dynamic Diesel Euro 5 with ProDrive promises to deliver three key benefits for diesel vehicles:
• Clean: Cleans and protects critical diesel engine parts to prolong engine life
• Efficient: Improves combustion, optimises engine performance and provides greater fuel economy
• Smooth: Easier to start, less vibration and smoother drive for a better journey
