Heres a bit of info about Shell's performance diesel fuel i saw thats in english :
Volkswagen and Shell have joined forces to develop both new engines and new fuels. As part of this new collaboratin, Shell recently introduced V-Power Diesel, alongside the V-Power fuel for petrol engines.
The new V-Power Diesel is not only 100% sulphur-free, but also contains a completely synthetic component based on natural gas, known as GtL (Gas to Liquids). Volkswagen assisted in this development by making 25 Golf TDI cars available, which were driven for 220,000 km using the new fuel. The result: significantly lower emissions for the same engine performance. V-Power diesel costs 0.08 euro more per litre than ordinary diesel.
For its current generation of diesel engines, Volkswagen has developed a fuel sensor that recognises the composition of the fuel and instructs the engine management system accordingly, so that optimum engine performance can always be achieved at the lowest possible emissions. This new sensor, which will be fitted on all Volkswagen TDI engines from the end of the year, also allows drivers to refuel their cars with biodiesel. |
