Shell Malaysia Trading Sdn. Bhd. (Shell Malaysia) today launched the pilot test of the first pair of ����������� road tankers, operated by Konsortium Port Dickson Sdn Bhd (KPD), which will operate using B100 Biodiesel. The launch was held at Stesen Minyak Alisha, Shah Alam, Selangor. The ceremony was officiated by Mr. Shairan Huzani Husain, Managing Director of Shell Malaysia Trading and witnessed by Ms. Heba Eltarifi, Managing Director of ����������� Southeast Asia, Mr. David Lantz, Driving The Shift Director of ����������� Southeast Asia and Mr. Richard Tee Chu Wong, Managing Director of Konsortium Port Dickson Sdn Bhd.

Supported by the Malaysian Palm Oil Board (MPOB) and the Ministry of Plantation Industries and Commodities (MPIC), Shell Malaysia is collaborating with ����������� and Konsortium Port Dickson Sdn Bhd (KPD) to pilot test the road tankers in an effort to lower carbon emissions.

“Long-term decarbonisation of transportation depends on electrification. Alternatively, switching to renewable fuels from fossil fuels can drastically lower carbon emissions in vehicles with internal combustion engines to help companies achieve Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) goals. All ����������� diesel vehicles that are sold in Malaysia are FAME-prepared to operate on any blend of biodiesel, ranging from B10 to B100,” stated Ms. Heba.

��

����������� is the first to make it a standard for all our vehicles to be FAME-prepared up to B100 since 2019. The purpose is to drive the shift towards a sustainable transport system as part of the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). With over 25 years of development, ����������� offers the broadest range of engines available on the market that are suitable for running on both renewable and fossil fuels to help achieve carbon reduction, as set in SBTi, and Biodiesel100 is one of them.

“The pilot test represents a major advancement in Shell Malaysia's history as we introduce two KPD ����������� road tankers, each with a capacity of carrying 35,000 and 47,000 liters of fuel, powered solely by B100 Biodiesel. We see its potential scalability in contributing towards achieving our net-zero ambition targets in Malaysia,”��stated Mr. Shairan.

“Reducing emissions across our whole value chain, notably from our vehicles, is essential to managing Konsortium Port Dickson’s climate impact and risk mitigation as a leading bulk petroleum carrier. With our ����������� trucks, we can define the areas that need to be prioritized in order to reach our carbon reduction goals,” said Mr. Richard.

Founded in 2001, Konsortium Port Dickson Sdn Bhd (KPD) is one of the key players in delivering oil and gas products, such as petrol, diesel, fuel oil, base oil, lubricant oil, industrial gas, oleo chemical and POME (ingredient for biodiesel) for Shell Malaysia using ����������� trucks.
