ENGINEERED to meet the demands of present-day high technology engines, PETRONAS Dagangan Berhad (PDB) introduced its best fuel PETRONAS Primax 97 with Pro-Race – giving a more powerful, responsive and efficient performance.
“The competitiveness on the racetrack is intense. I need a fuel that gives me the power to move beyond – when I accelerate, when I take corners and when I need to get ahead of the pack.
“PETRONAS Primax 97 with Pro-Race is the fuel that gives your car the power as and when it needs most. I know what power means. You should too,” said Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS F1 world champion driver Lewis Hamilton.
Leveraging on PETRONAS’ experience in the development of fluid technology that powered the Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS F1 team to win its seventh consecutive FIA F1 World Constructors Championship in 2020, the new fuel has been engineered for unbeatable performance and the power to move beyond.
The new PETRONAS Primax 97 with Pro-Race has unique features to offer. It is formulated with the world’s first advanced dual friction modifier, and 25% more efficient in reducing friction than the previous fuel.
There is less friction and also lower carbon emission by enhancing the fuel and oil interaction while increasing fuel efficiency for further mileage.
Removing some 99.9% of deposits from key areas in the engine, this new fuel unlocks the car’s full potential to achieve effortless power.
Speaking on the new breakthrough, PDB managing director and chief executive officer Azrul Osman Rani said: “The new PETRONAS Primax 97 with Pro-Race is our best fuel, as the new formulation was designed to cater to advanced engine technologies and meet the high-performance driving needs of our customers today.
“Having translated our fluid technology from track to road, we are very excited to finally let our customers experience an effortless drive, achievable through the 3-in-1 benefit comprising power, responsiveness and efficiency.”
In a series of blind tests conducted in real driving and road conditions, the study showed that two out of three participants experienced better performance from the new fuel compared to other premium fuels they currently use.
Some 69% of respondents concurred that it delivers more power and 66% agreed that it is more responsive.
When it comes to efficiency, more than two-thirds or 73% of participants confirmed that the new fuel recorded more kilometers per liter, while emitting less carbon.
“The results of the blind tests and feedback from the drivers are truly encouraging. As a leading energy and solutions partner, we continuously seek out avenues to refine and improve our offerings to remain the customers’ brand of choice.
“We are confident that the new PETRONAS Primax 97 with Pro-Race will surpass customers’ expectations and delight their driving experience,” added Azrul.
The Covid-19 pandemic is still a threat to all. Stay home because we need to, and drive out only when we need to.
