Shell has reaffirmed its commitment to achieve sustainable mobility through the development of various alternative sources of energy at the Michelin Challenge Bibendum conference held in Shanghai.

David Pirret, executive vice president for lubricants at Shell, said, "At Shell we have long recognized the conflict between the need for mobility and the toll it is taking on our planet. We believe to resolve it, we must all face up to the truth that while demand for energy is growing at an increasingly rapid rate, access to conventional oil supplies is declining and there is an increasing need to keep energy-related carbon dioxide emission at acceptable levels."

With partners such as Renault-Nissan, Volkswagen and Mercedes, Shell claims it has been developing advanced lubricants to meet OEMs' specific requirements. One result of the OEM partnership is the development of LowSAPs, or low sulphated ash, phosphorous and sulphur lubricants that can optimize the efficiency of the engines' after-treatment systems.

In China, Shell has built partnerships with more than 40 major auto manufacturers, including Volkswagen, Renault-Nissan, Shanghai General Motors, Suzuki and FAW, in an effort to provide the best lubricant and fuels products and services to Chinese consumers. In China, formula Nemo, which is designed to clean and protect the engine, is added to every litre of fuel sold at Shell retail stations.
