Shell Retail Demonstrates its Commitment to Fuel Economy
May 16, 2013
Launches Shell Fuel Economy campaign to help Indians learn how to save fuel and improve efficiency.
Shell Fuel Economy Refresh reinforces Shell’s commitment to fuel economy. The campaign aims to emphasize the value of fuel economy and the long-term benefits of adopting fuel efficiency as a way of life.
At the heart of this campaign is the commitment of Shell Fuel Economy Formula, a breakthrough development in fuels technology that is designed to help drivers go further. Shell Super the petrol and diesel variation of the regular maingrade fuel, ensures greater fuel efficiency through superior quality.
As the Shell Fuel Economy Refresh initiative kicks off, a comprehensive awareness and consumer engagement drive was activated across all Shell fuel pumps. A compelling radio campaign and prominent placements in outdoor media have been designed to encourage vehicle owners to embrace the benefits of Shell Fuel Economy fuels.
Additionally, an in-depth orientation exercise, targeted at Shell’s retailers, attempts to reinforce the fuel economy philosophy, therefore enabling them to guide customers meaningfully.
The different elements of the Shell Fuel Economy Refresh initiative seek to ultimately educate motorists about responsible driving behaviours and reiterate the importance of smart fuelling, for greater fuel efficiency.
Shell Fuel Economy is rooted in more than a century’s worth of R&D innovation. Shell’s fuel scientists have dedicated years of research towards making fuel as efficient as possible – reaching some significant milestones along the way.
The campaign goes live across all nine cities where Shell Retail India has operations, namely Bangalore, Mysore, Pune, Hyderabad, Chennai, Ahmedabad, Baroda, Rajkot and Surat.
