This year will also mark the 10th year Shell becomes the title sponsor for the Malaysia Grand Prix.

“I’m grateful to have a loyal partner like Shell, who has been with us since 2009,” added Tan Sri Azman. “We have seen waves of success during the 10 years together and I thank you for that.”

As a build up to the celebration, SIC and Shell Malaysia announced at the Official Launch in The Square Publika today, special off-track activities for fans will be arranged. The campaign kicks off with SIC announcing the MalaysianGP Superfan Contest where two lucky winners will win a fully paid trip to watch the Shell Malaysia Motorcycle Grand Prix with exclusive behind-the-scene experience.

“This is our 10th year as title sponsor for the Malaysia Motorcycle Grand Prix and we are excited to celebrate Shell’s long-standing involvement in world motorcycle racing with all motorsports’ enthusiasts through our collaboration with SIC,” shared Datuk Iain Lo, Chairman of Shell Malaysia.

“MotoGP is more than a race, it’s a platform for people from all walks of life to come together and celebrate their passion for motorsports. To fuel this passion and commemorate a decade of our commitment towards motorsports development in Malaysia, we will be having exciting activities to reward our customers who have been continuously supporting us all these years,” added Datuk Iain.

For the first time, Shell has decided to bring one of its live viewing sessions outside Klang Valley, to Kuantan, Pahang, with the aim to extend the MotoGP excitement to a larger group of fans. Fans can learn more of these viewings at Shell’s social media pages.

This year, Shell is back with its Shell Hillstand, an exclusive viewing area at the circuit which provides motorsports enthusiasts an opportunity to enjoy a differentiated experience while watching the race. In the past, the hillstand offered a series of activities comprising a display of Ducati motorcycles, a wide-range of family-friendly activities and a variety of food and beverages, inclusive of Shell’s popular deli2go freshly-baked pastries and Costa Coffee. The company is looking to do all of this and more this year, to provide a bigger and better Shell Malaysia MotoGP experience for its customers.

Race week will start with the pre-event; a friendly football match between Team SIC All Stars showcasing talented MotoGP riders against Team Media FC at the National Stadium in Bukit Jalil. The match will be made open for fans to come and support the MotoGP riders in action.

The ever-popular riders’ autograph session and riders fan forum will take place at the Sepang International Circuit on November 1 (Friday) and 2 (Saturday) where fans can get up close and personal with their favorite riders like Marc Marquez, Valentino Rossi, Jorge Lorenzo and also our Malaysian rider Hafizh Syahrin Abdullah and more.

The much awaited Mega MotoGP Carnival also provides an array of products and promotions with over 90 brands participating this year. The carnival has become an event of its own where two-wheels fans look forward to each year to get their hands on special merchandise items including new motorcycles to take home.

The popular #KamiGearKe7 campaign will be back this year as a way for fans to show their support towards Malaysian riders and team challenging for honours at their home race. It follows the concept of fans as the 12th man on the pitch on football matches to support their teams, the #KamiGearKe7 will provide the avenue for fans to show the support for Malaysian competing in the Malaysian Grand Prix.

“The hype will be much bigger this year as we have a Malaysian team racing in three different categories of the championship,” added Tan Sri Azman.

“The Petronas Yamaha Sepang Racing Team just bared their fangs when Fabio Quartararo finished second at the Catalunya Grand Prix and with Hafizh Syahrin and Khairul on the grid, Malaysians will have more to cheer for.

“It will also be something of a spectacle for the Indonesian fans out there as they will get to see their star Dimas Ekky Pratama racing in the Malaysian round in his first full season as a Moto2 rider. I’m sure many of them are eager to see what Dimas can do after stints in 2017 and 2018.”

Tickets for the Shell Malaysia Motorcycle Grand Prix was launched in October 2018 and is selling fast. “This year, though tickets remain at the same price for the MalaysianGP, there is an addition of 25% entertainment tax imposed by the state government. However, the event remains to be a much awaited one and tickets are selling fast. I encouraged all fans to start getting theirs now before it sells out”

“To ensure a comfortable and convenient experience for the fans, works has also started to fix the roofing of the Main Grandstand and better fittings for the public toilets. We are excited to see the new and improved roof during the race this year” Tan Sri Azman added.

  • Shell Malaysia Trading Sdn Bhd has launched two new variants of Shell Advance AX7 semi-synthetic motorcycle engine oil.

  • They are the Shell Advance AX7 10W-30 and Shell Advance AX7 15W-50.

  • Both are priced at RM 33.90 for a 1-litre pack.

Shell Malaysia Trading Sdn Bhd has launched two new variants of Shell Advance AX7 semi-synthetic motorcycle engine oil.

The new Shell Advance AX7 10W-30 and 15W-50 are both priced at RM33.90 per 1-litre pack (recommended retail price) and complement the existing Shell Advance AX7 10W-40.

According to Shell Lubricants Marketing General Manager May Tan, the popular Shell Advance AX7 now offers three viscosity grades (in addition to the Shell Advance AX7 10W-40).

“This enables motorcyclists to choose a premium semi-synthetic engine oil from Shell Advance that best suits their riding needs,” she said.

All three grades feature Shell’s proprietary Active Cleansing Technology that provides complete protection for your bike. The benefits include:

  • 33% cleaner engine;
  • 29% better protection at high temperatures;
  • 3 km further in travel distance per litre of fuel;
  • 36% better wear protection against industry limit; and
  • No power loss even after 12,000 km of travel.

The new, thicker Shell Advance AX7 15W-50 promises smoother power delivery and better protection for engines that run for long periods under high stress conditions.

The new and thinner viscosity Shell Advance AX7 10W-30 provides excellent engine protection and offers better fuel economy, enabling your motorcycle to go for up to 3 km further compared to mineral oils.

The existing Shell Advance AX7 10W-40 has a well-balanced formulation that meets the needs of almost all types of motorcycles in daily riding conditions. It is ideal in providing the necessary protection for frequent stop-and-go traffic conditions.

However, it is advised that consumers follow OEM recommendations on the viscosity grade and quality rating of engine oils, as stated in the respective owner’s manual for optimal performance.

The new products are blended and packed in Malaysia and come with ‘Made for Malaysia’ front labels that identify them as genuine Shell Advance products meant for sale in Malaysia.

The new front label can be peeled to reveal a unique QR code for quick product authentication, while the label at the back features product information in English and Bahasa Malaysia.

“This is part of a strategic investment by Shell Malaysia to protect the interests of both motorcyclists and trade partners by enabling them to clearly identify official and genuine products. The presence of counterfeit and unauthorised products in the market is affecting customer confidence. The on-going introduction of the new ‘Made for Malaysia’ Shell Advance range is a key step to address this issue,” added Tan.

For information on the new Shell Advance AX7, visit www.shell.com.my/advance or call the Shell Customer Service Hotline at 1300 88 1808.

  • Shell Malaysia continues its annual 1-sen-per litre contribution to various causes for the fifth consecutive year.

  • The campaign incorporates spending at Shell SELECT to provide motorists more opportunities to contribute during their ‘balik kampung’ journeys.

  • Collection days increased from previous years.

Shell marks its Raya CSR Campaign for the fifth consecutive year, making the ‘balik kampung’ experience for fellow motorists more meaningful by spreading the spirit of caring and sharing during the blessed Raya festivities with its 2019 ‘Anda Beli, Kami Derma’ campaign.

Extending the duration from previous years, this year’s collection runs for 10 days, from       30 May 2019 to 8 June 2019, and contributions will be donated to National Cancer Society Malaysia, Food Aid Foundation and Malaysian Nature Society. During this period, every one litre of Shell fuels pumped will see the company donating 1 sen (RM0.01) to these selected organisations. On top of every 1-sen-per-litre, Shell will also donate 1 sen for every 1 Ringgit (RM1.00) spent in all Shell SELECT stores (excluding E-Pay products i.e. mobile reloads, Touch N Go purchases and other In-Store services i.e. utility payments).

“The ‘balik kampung’ experience is a meaningful journey for everyone. It’s about loved ones coming together, safely, to celebrate the festivities. This year, we decided to add to the ‘balik kampung’ journey by spreading a little more cheer to those in need. That is why to mark our fifth year of running this campaign, we have increased our collection timeline to 10 days and incorporated spending at Shell SELECT to give our customers more opportunities to contribute to organisations in need. We have also chosen relevant causes that we believe are close to the heart of Malaysians, in line with our efforts to make life’s journeys better for communities in which we operate,” shared Shairan Huzani Husain, Managing Director of Shell Malaysia Trading Sdn. Bhd. and Shell Timur Sdn. Bhd.

Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs Minister Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail commended Shell’s campaign, “With simple acts of kindness, we can go a long way in doing our part during this giving season of Ramadan and Raya. I would like to commend Shell for working to make giving back so seamless and flexible. Customers will now be able to easily share their blessings with those in need and give everyone a ‘balik kampung’ journey worth celebrating even more.”

Mastercard, joining in as a valued partner for the second consecutive year, will also be making additional contributions to the campaign. For every litre of Shell fuels pumped and every RM1 spent at Shell SELECT, paid with any Mastercard credit or debit card, an additional 1 sen will be contributed to the Food Aid Foundation.

“Mastercard is honoured to continue the collaboration with Shell to encourage cardholders to contribute to a worthwhile cause each time they spend using their Mastercard card at Shell stations nationwide. The funds raised will go towards the provision of meals for children in need, especially during the Hari Raya festivities. This initiative aligns with both Mastercard’s philosophy of ‘doing well by doing good’, as well as efforts to increase e-payments usage for everyday transactions. Mastercard cardholders can create a positive impact in the community while enjoying the benefits of a safe, swift and convenient payments experience,” said Perry Ong, Country Manager of Malaysia and Brunei, Mastercard.

With its 2019 ‘Anda Beli, Kami Derma’ campaign, Shell is giving motorists who pump at Shell or spend at Shell SELECT the option to choose the cause they believe in and influence contribution to their organisation of choice.

To select their preferred choice of beneficiaries, customers must submit either the original or duplicate copy of their receipt at a Shell station and indicate their choice.

Every contribution matters. Motorists are invited to take part in this initiative beginning Thursday, 30 May 2019 until Saturday, 8 June 2019 by simply fuelling up at any Shell station nationwide or purchasing selected items at Shell SELECT stores. Be sure to mark these dates in your calendar to show your support for these communities in need.

Shell Eco-marathon Asia 2019 edisi ke-10 membuka tirai semalam di Litar Antarabangsa Sepang dengan majlis dirasmikan oleh Timbalan Setiausaha Agung, Kementerian Tenaga, Sains, Teknologi, Alam Sekitar & Perubahan Iklim, Dr Nagulendran Kangayatkarasu.

Memasuki tahun ke-10 penganjuran, Shell Eco-marathon edisi Asia kini kembali ke medan di mana semuanya bermula dengan lebih daripada 100 penglibatan pelajar dari 18 negara bagi menguji kereta mana yang mampu pergi jauh menggunakan tenaga yang paling minimum.

Selain daripada menjadi pertandingan untuk pelajar universiti paling lama di dunia, Shell Eco-marathon merupakan program global yang mencabar minda pelajar untuk mereka dan menghasilkan kereta jimat tenaga.

Pengerusi Shell, Dautk Iain Lo berkata acara pembukaan hari ini bukan sahaja menandakan permulaan bahkan sebagai satu langkah pertama dalam pengembaraan baharu.

“Tahun ini, Shell Eco-marathon kembali ke Malaysia bagi menyambut 10 tahun usaha para pelajar dari unversiti seluruh Asia. Setiap tahun kami melihat peningkatan dalam penglibatan pelajar dalam menghasilkan inovasi baharu.

“Saya mahu berterima kasih kepada MESTEC atas sokongan yang diberikan selama ini dan kami teruja untuk menerima pelbagai bantuan platform yang akan menyuntik semangat terhadap golongan belia untuk mencari tenaga mampan,”jelasnya.

Seramai 56 pelajar akan bertanding dalam kategori UrbanConcept – kereta yang menyamai kenderaan sedia ada – sementara 53 lagi beraksi bagi kategori Prototype.

Bagaimanapun, setiap kenderaan perlu menjalani sesi pemeriksaan ketat sebelum mereka dibenarkan untuk memasuki litar lantas menguji berapa jauh yang mampu kenderaan mereka capai.

Pertandingan akan berlangsung sehingga 2 Mei ini di mana pasukan terbaik akan ke London bagi menyertai Kejohanan Pemandu Dunia, Julai ini.

Make The Future Live bakal mempertemukan wakil perniagaan, akademik, kerajaan, rakan kongsi, universiti dan pelajar sekolah menengah bagi sama-sama meneroka masa depan bidang mobiliti dan tenaga di Litar Antarabangsa Sepang dari 29 April hingga 2 Mei ini.

Segalanya tertumpu pada Shell Eco-marathon Asia, yang akan menyambut ulang tahun ke-10 dalam mencabar minda anak muda dalam mereka dan membina kereta jimat tenaga sebelum turun ke litar untuk berlumba.

Tahun ini, sebanyak 100 pasukan universiti dan sekolah menengah daripada 18 negara sekitar Asia Pasifik dan Timur Tengah akan berentap dengan inovasi masing-masing.

Untuk julung kalinya, perlumbaan di Litar Sepang akan diadakan sehingga lewat malam.

Sementara itu, para pelajar daripada Universiti Monash Malaysia, Universiti Teknologi MARA, Universiti Malaysia Pahang, Universiti Tunku Abdul Rahman dan Universiti Multimedia bakal mewakili negara dalam menghasilkan rekaan terbaik!

Pengarah Urusan Make The Future Live, Norman Koch berkata, acara ini merupakan medan terbaik bagi para pelajar untuk menguji kemampuan masing-masing.

“Make The Future Live Malaysia merupakan platform untuk menjana inovasi dan kerjasama demi masa depan rendah karbon terutamanya di Asia yang mempersembahkan pelbagai cabaran.

“Litar Antarabangsa Sepang menyediakan pengalaman sebenar perlumbaan sekaligus memberi cabaran berlainan kepada para peserta,”katanya.

Setiap perwakilan akan berdepan cabaran Shell Eco-marathon Mileage – yang akan menguji kereta manakah yang mampu pergi lebih jauh menggunakan tenaga yang paling sedikit.

Tahun lalu di Singapura, pasukan pemenang berjaya pergi sejauh 2,341 kilometer dengan hanya menggunakan seliter minyak!

Dalam perkembangan lain, Shell Eco-marathon turut bakal menyaksikan penampilan sulung pelajar daripada University Kathmandu, Nepal.

(Dari kiri ke kanan) Suresh Nair, Eddie Lee, Shairan Huzaini Husain, Datuk Iain Lo, Datuk Ruben Gnanalingam, Kevin Ranatunga melancarkan tangki simpanan Shell
  • Shell Malaysia telah melancarkan sebuah tangki penyimpanan bahanapi minyak petrol baharu dan kawasan pemunggahan tambahan.
  • Langkah ini membolehkan Shell Malaysia memenuhi permintaan yang semakin meningkat bagi minyak petrol Shell di Zon Tengah.
  • Tangki ini mempunyai kapasiti sehingga 10 juta liter dan mampu mengagihkan 1,800 liter minyak petrol dalam satu minit.

  • Shell Malaysia launched a new fuel storage tank and additional loading bay.

  • The move allows Shell Malaysia to meet the rising demand for Shell fuels in the Central region.

  • The tank has a 10 million litre capacity while the arms dispense 1,800 litres of fuel per minute.

Shell Malaysia Trading Sdn. Bhd. officially launched a new cutting-edge fuel storage tank and an additional loading bay at Westports, Port Klang. The expansion boosts Shell Malaysia’s capability in meeting the growing demand for Shell fuels in the Central region of Peninsular Malaysia.

The new tank, the tenth such facility owned by Shell at the terminal, was constructed under Phase 4 of the Shell Westports Terminal Expansion Plan. It was officially launched by Datuk Iain Lo, Chairman of Shell Malaysia and Datuk Ruben Emir Gnanalingam, Group Managing Director of Westports Malaysia Sdn Bhd.

In addition to the new 10 million-litre storage tank, the expansion plan also included a new loading bay with six loading arms configured to dispense three key Shell fuel products – Fuelsave 95, V-Power 97 and Fuelsave Euro 5 Diesel – at a rate of 1,800 litres a minute. This increases the efficiency of loading processes for road tankers. The tankers now can be fully loaded in just 25 minutes, which significantly reduces the congestion at the Klang Valley Distribution Terminal (KVDT).

“I am happy to announce that this new storage facility at Westport will enable Shell to meet the increasing demands for its products in Klang Valley. The efficient new facilities will enhance Shell’s competitiveness and ensure Shell’s ability to meet all customer needs,” said Datuk Iain Lo.

He also added that Shell has been fuelling Malaysia’s progress for the past 128 years and will continue to invest in strengthening its presence in the country by offering not just top-quality products, but also efficient services that meet the needs of consumers and businesses.

The storage tank is constructed using the innovative jack-up method instead of the traditional bottom-up process. Here, the top section of the tank including the roof is constructed first before being lifted with hydraulics, which enables the lower sections to be assembled. This minimises the use of scaffoldings, the need for workers to work at height and enabled construction to proceed safely and get completed ahead of schedule, despite space restrictions and ongoing activities in the vicinity.

The successful completion of Phase 4 of the Shell Westports Terminal Expansion Plan was a strong testament to the close co-operation and high safety standards adopted by the teams from Shell Malaysia, Westports Malaysia Sdn Bhd, the project consultants and contractors.
