Syarikat tenaga Shell telah mendedahkan rancangan untuk menukar strategi tenaganya dengan menjual beberapa stesen minyaknya dan melabur lebih banyak dalam stesen pengecasan kenderaan elektrik (EV).
Dalam laporan Strategi Peralihan Tenaga 2024, Shell berkata ia mahu memberi lebih tumpuan kepada penyelesaian tenaga rendah karbon. Untuk melakukan ini, ia akan menjual kira-kira 500 stesen minyaknya setiap tahun pada 2024 dan 2025, yang berjumlah pengurangan 2.1% dalam rangkaian stesen minyaknya. Sebaliknya, Shell akan mengembangkan infrastruktur pengecasan EVnya untuk memenuhi keperluan pelanggan yang beralih kepada kereta elektrik.
Shell merancang untuk melabur lebih banyak dalam pusat pengecasan EV awam, terutamanya di tempat seperti China dan Eropah yang terdapat banyak kereta elektrik dan permintaan tinggi untuk stesen pengecasan. Syarikat itu menyasarkan untuk meningkatkan bilangan mata caj daripada 54,000 kepada 200,000 menjelang 2030.
Shell percaya stesen pengecas awam adalah penting kerana ramai orang tidak mempunyai pilihan untuk mengecas kereta elektrik mereka di rumah. Walaupun pengecasan rumah adalah perkara biasa di beberapa tempat seperti Amerika Utara, Shell melihat peluang besar dalam mengembangkan rangkaian pengecasan awam untuk menyokong peningkatan bilangan kereta elektrik.
Energy giant Shell has announced a significant shift in its energy transition strategy, revealing plans to divest some of its retail locations, including gasoline stations, in favour of expanding its electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure.
In its 2024 Energy Transition Strategy report, Shell outlined its intention to upgrade its retail network by expanding electric vehicle charging and convenience offerings to meet evolving customer needs. The company aims to divest approximately 500 Shell-owned sites annually in 2024 and 2025, totalling a 2.1% reduction in its retail footprint. This move comes as part of Shell’s broader strategy to focus more on low-carbon energy solutions.
To support its expansion into the EV charging market, Shell intends to invest more in public charging infrastructure, particularly in regions like China and Europe, where the EV market is more developed and demand for public charging stations is high. Shell aims to increase the number of charge points from the current 54,000 to 200,000 by 2030.

Shell Malaysia Trading Sdn. Bhd. marked a significant milestone by launching the pilot test of the first pair of Scania road tankers, operated by Konsortium Port Dickson Sdn Bhd (KPD), designed to operate using B100 Biodiesel.
In collaboration with Scania and Konsortium Port Dickson Sdn Bhd (KPD), Shell Malaysia aims to pilot test these road tankers as part of an initiative to reduce carbon emissions. Supported by the Malaysian Palm Oil Board (MPOB) and the Ministry of Plantation Industries and Commodities (MPIC), the venture aligns with efforts to drive sustainability in the transportation sector.
One of the highlights is the significance of renewable fuels in lowering carbon emissions from vehicles with internal combustion engines, providing an alternative pathway for companies to achieve their Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) goals. Scania has been a pioneer in preparing its vehicles for biodiesel use, and since 2019, all Scania diesel vehicles sold in Malaysia are FAME-prepared up to B100.

Shell Malaysia, through its business mobility division, Shell Fleet Solutions, has launched its Accelerate to Zero (A2Z) Programme in Malaysia. The A2Z programme aims to assist fleet owners in optimising their operations, achieving sustainability goals, and navigating challenges such as supply chain disruptions, driver shortages, and the pressure to decarbonise.
The A2Z programme includes various integrated solutions:
Shell Card: A revamped Shell Card acts as the key to unlock all the solutions, enabling integration for a fleet’s day-to-day mobility expenses, including fuel, telematics, lubricants, and electric vehicle (EV) charging through the Shell network.
Shell Recharge: Shell’s EV charging ecosystem offers corporate fleets a comprehensive package of hardware, software services, and support solutions to meet specific EV infrastructure requirements. Customers can access Shell’s expanding network of charging points.
Shell Telematics: This solution combines integrated Shell Card data, ‘live’ vehicle tracking, vehicle performance monitoring, and more to provide corporate fleets with critical data and business intelligence to help them achieve greater sustainability.
Carbon Compensation: Fleet owners can opt to compensate for the carbon emissions from their fuel purchases through carbon credits generated by Shell projects.
The debate has been raging for years now – which petrol actually takes you further? Some swear by Shell, other say it is BHPetrol or Petronas.
But there has never been a real world test conducted – till now.
The team at PISTON took it upon ourselves to finally put an end to the debate.
The contenders – Petronas, Shell and BHPetrol – were chosen as they are some of the most widely available fuel providers around the Klang Valley and Peninsular Malaysia.
The cars we chose for this comparison are three Honda City RS e:HEV, or otherwise known as the Honda City Hybrid.
Why did we choose the City Hybrid? Well, the objective of the comparison was to see which fuel gives us the most mileage over the most diverse terrain we could find.
We wanted to drive through heavy traffic, uphill and downhill, through highways and back roads. And because the City Hybrid is impressively frugal, we were confident that we would not need to refuel despite driving close to 500km’s in a day.
And we were right, the Honda City proved to be the perfect companion as it offered impressive comfort and features like Apple Carplay and Android Auto to keep us entertained throughout the long, tiring drive.
We would like to extend a special thanks to Honda Malaysia for loaning us the three Honda City’s.
We also took as much care as possible to eliminate all possible variables. First we extended a request to Honda Malaysia to service all three cars with new lubricants to which they generously obliged (thank you Honda!). This was to ensure that the engines of the three cars were working equally as hard and there was not one working harder than the other.
Secondly, we ensured that the tyres of all three cars had the same pressure. This was to ensure equal rolling resistance. Low tyre pressure results in higher rolling resistance which in turn increases fuel consumption. So it was essential to ensure the tyre pressure of all three cars were the same!
And we also ensured all three cars had a lone driver. Vehicle load also increases fuel consumption, and because all three drivers were roundish around the sides, weight was about the same as well.
And finally, we took special care to ensure that residual fuel was minimised. We did not want fuel brands mixing up with one another. So we were sure to empty out the tanks as much as possible (by driving instead of draining) and then refuelling with the competing fuel.
So with this, we hit the road from Kayu Ara towards the Damansara toll. Our journey took us east towards Raub via the Karak Highway, and then off the highway towards Sungai Koyan. From there we headed West towards Cameron Highlands, and then north via the old Tapah road. From there, we hit the highway heading south and ended at the Jejantas Sungai Buloh.
Shell Malaysia recently introduced its new Shell FuelSave 95 which is said to get you 15km more per tank.
Through the Shell FuelSave 95 Challenge 2023, Shell actively encouraged drivers all over the nation to enjoy longer, uninterrupted travels of up to 15 KM longer per tank with this new main grade fuel.
Malaysians from Northern to Southern Peninsular Malaysia to East Malaysia have gathered numerous shared experiences of enjoying extra savings and better fuel mileage, making their RM2.05 per litre spent on the new Shell FuelSave 95 worth it.
Malaysian motorists are fortunate to have pump prices for petrol (excluding RON97) subsidized by the government. It is a costly exercise for the government, especially if global oil prices go up. For this reason, there are plans to stop the blanket subsidies for RON 95 petrol and biodiesel and only provide fuel subsidies for those really needing assistance.
This will mean that pump prices will rise and motorists will have to start thinking about driving more economically if they want to moderate running costs. But besides driving more economically and not wasting fuel unnecessarily, there’s also the choice of petrol that they can make to go further on each litre.
With the New + Improved Shell FuelSave 95, there is the claim that the range on a full fuel tank can be extended a further 15 kms. It’s interesting that Shell Malaysia uses this approach and it is based on test runs in Malaysian conditions with more than 6 vehicles which were driven a cumulative distance of over 10,000 kms each.
