17 November 2017, Kuala Lumpur - PETRONAS Dagangan Berhad (PDB) today launched the enhanced PETRONAS Dynamic Diesel Euro 5 with Pro-Drive, the new generation sulphur-free diesel that is proven to deliver smoother drive and superior fuel economy.
This is achieved through Pro-Drive, a combination of reformulated higher quality base diesel from PETRONAS’ refinery and uniquely formulated chemistries designed for today’s advance common-rail diesel engine.
The Pro-Drive technology is made available from PETRONAS’ continuous learnings from its partnership with IVECO, an Italian industrial vehicle manufacturing company, to formulate a winning formula for PETRONAS De Rooy IVECO team competing in the Dakar Rally. The Rally is known to be the world’s toughest and most demanding off-road endurance race and the team’s victory in the 2016 edition is testament to the fuel technology that goes into the PETRONAS Dynamic Diesel with Pro-Drive.
Speaking at the launch, PDB’s Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, Dato’ Mohd Ibrahimnuddin Mohd Yunus said, “PETRONAS’ involvement in the Dakar Rally has provided us a platform to study the requirements of the latest high performance common-rail direct-injection diesel-powered vehicles and continuously improve our products to meet even the most extreme driving conditions.”
“Today’s launch of the PETRONAS Dynamic Diesel Euro 5 with Pro-Drive reflects our commitment to this continuous improvement, so that we can translate these learnings to the road to benefit our customers,” he added.
Based on the laboratory tests conducted, the PETRONAS Dynamic Diesel Euro 5 with Pro-Drive removes deposits and protects injectors thus allowing the fuel to effectively clean the engine, ensuring optimum engine efficiency.
In comparison to other diesel fuels in the market that were tested, results shown that the PETRONAS Dynamic Diesel Euro 5 with Pro-Drive recorded higher cetane number, which helps to improve combustion resulting in smoother drivability, cleaner emission and lower noise. PETRONAS Dynamic Diesel Euro 5 with Pro-Drive also has higher heating value, indicating more energy per kilogram fuel to deliver better fuel economy.
Overall, the improved PETRONAS Dynamic Diesel Euro 5 with Pro-Drive promises to deliver three key benefits for diesel vehicles:
- Clean: Cleans and protects critical diesel engine parts to prolong engine life.
- Efficient: Improves combustion, optimises engine performance and provides greater fuel economy.
- Smooth: Easier starting, less vibration and smoother drive for a better journey.
The PETRONAS Dynamic Diesel Euro 5 with Pro-Drive is currently available at 58 selected PETRONAS Stations with planned expansion of increasing the availability to 115 stations in the near future. For more information about the new fuel and availability, visit
