Shell Fleet Solutions And DHL Express Malaysia Team Up To Reduce Vehicle Fleet Emissions

Logistics companies have large fleets of vehicles to deliver goods all over the country. These vehicles, with internal combustion engines, obviously generate exhaust gases which, fortunately, are less toxic than they used to be, thanks to modern technologies.

The fuel and oils they use have also helped, with formulations and components that improve combustion and efficiency, reducing pollutants. While there is a move to switch to zero emissions electrically-powered vehicles, the change will take some time as the fleets can be very large. This means that efforts still have to be made to ensure that the existing fleet of vehicles have reduced emissions.

DHL Express Malaysia, a logistics company with a large fleet, has formed a strategic partnership with Shell Malaysia Trading Sdn Bhd to support its sustainability journey in reducing emissions across their fleet operations. Shell Malaysia Trading’s business mobility division, Shell Fleet Solutions, offers a programme which brings together Shell’s full range of consultancy services and innovative solutions.

Jaguar I-PACE Launched In Malaysia, Priced From RM460,800

The Jaguar I-PACE has been on sale since 2018, during which time it has done remarkably well and has been awarded titles like World Car of the Year as well as European Car of the Year, among many others. It has only just gone on sale in Malaysia today and Jaguar Land Rover Malaysia (JLRM) can offer it at under RM500,000, thanks to the government exempting battery electric vehicles (BEVs) from duties.

Priced at RM460,800 (without insurance) for the Black LE and RM498,800 for the HSE, the I-PACE is Jaguar’s first BEV and has been designed and developed almost entirely in the UK. Ralf Speth, the CEO of Jaguar Land Rover when the I-PACE was launched, said that the development team had ‘torn up the rulebook to create the newest member of the PACE family’.
