TCO impact of machinery Transcript

[Background music plays]

Bright uplifting music plays lightly in the background

[Animated sequence]

Three machines – an excavator, a truck, and a tractor – make their way along a stylised graphic timeline which has oil running through the pipe with the Shell pecten indicated on top.

Each vehicle and Shell pecten changes as time moves on until we reach the present day.

[Voiceover]

Over the last 100 years, innovation has revolutionised equipment in the fleet, construction and agriculture industries and beyond.

[Animated sequence]

The oil running through the pipe leads to a new panel: a moving tractor. As each equipment part is mentioned, the vehicle is overlaid with icons of equipment parts and each are animated while the tractor moves.

Oil continues to pump around the panel through the pipes.

[Voiceover]

Just as it has transformed Shell’s high-performance lubricants that look after your machinery’s critical parts.

Such as engine oil, hydraulic fluid, transmission oil or grease. To ensure equipment is constantly performing at its best throughout its lifecycle.

[Animated sequence]

Oil in pipe moves to a new panel that features a digger moving in snow. We see a site being built in the background and the oil continues to pump around the panel through the pipes.

[Voiceover]

Demands on operators, machines and service requirements are increasing. They need to operate in more extreme conditions, on complex projects, within tighter timeframes.

[Animated sequence]

Oil in pipe moves to a series of moving icons that animate across the screen. Each illustrates a machine’s health, efficiency, and eco-standards across time to highlight reliability and environmental awareness.

Oil in pipe continues to frame these icons and moves across each icon as highlighted in the voice over.

[Voiceover]

High-quality lubricants will help make your equipment more reliable, reduce downtime, lower your total cost of ownership and protect the environment. Through products that are biodegradable, can reduce fuel and cut CO2 emissions, meeting industry regulations worldwide.

[Animated sequence]

Oil frames a new panel that shows a customer support technician on the telephone, with a Shell pecten on their shirt. Lube chat is also highlighted on the right of the panel.

Oil continues to move around the panel and onto the next.

Our global digital and personal expert services provide trusted and immediate advice.

[Animated sequence]

Oil in pipe moves to a laptop screen with Solutions Hub in view. Icons from Solutions Hub gradually appear to display Shell’s services.

[Voiceover]

Oil in pipe moves to another monitor on screen, showcasing Shell LubeAnalyst.

At Shell, we believe in the power of preventive maintenance and taking action at key moments of the machine’s lifecycle, such as:

[Animated sequence]

The oil then moves to a series of infographic style action panels to illustrate the script including updating machinery, an expired warranty, engineer looking at a vehicle, cross on top of a lubricant bottle, a graph illustration, and a split panel featuring a customer on the phone trying to connect.

[Voiceover]

Integrating new or upgrading machinery

Warranty expiration

Equipment problems

Ineffective recommendations and lubricants

Unexpected price changes

Or simply, not getting the response you need to run your business effectively

[Animated sequence]

Oil moves to a panel of machines working well in the rain and sun, with a performance gauge at the bottom left.

[Voiceover]

Lubrication is the key to unlocking vehicle performance, greater reliability and ongoing operations, come rain or shine.

[Animated sequence]

The next panel introduces another sequence of animated infographic style illustrations, highlighting the statistics and visualising equipment maintenance and cost savings.

[Voiceover]

83% of construction businesses believe that effective equipment maintenance has led to cost savings.

In fact, lubricants can be as little as 1-2% of your total maintenance budget but could help save a third of your operating costs, boosting your bottom line.

[Animated sequence]

Another timeline is introduced from 2020 onwards, as the oil moves along the pipe. An excavator moves along the timeline as a piggy bank animates in place highlighting cost savings.

The excavator lifts up in a futuristic fashion and the piggy bank and timeline move away.

[Voiceover]

Just imagine: if YOUR vehicles could work harder for much longer, how much would YOU save?

[Animated sequence]

Grid lines fade away leaving a white frame. The pecten and call to action reveal themselves.
