Understanding the obstacles
that can stall your progress
On-highway
Reliability. Safety. Compliance. For modern
transport operators like yourself, there are lots
of competing demands to contend with. And of
course, underpinning all of them is the need to stay
competitive by maximising productivity so you can
minimise your total operating costs.
But keeping your vehicles on the go can be a
challenge, particularly with evolving trends splitting
your time, effort and focus, like:
• Maintenance best practice – With maintenance
accounting for around 10% of a fleet’s total operating
costs, staying on top of your expenditures can certainly
pay off over the long run.1
• Technical innovation – Higher-specification
engines are helping transform the road freight
industry, but they bring new and diverse demands with
them, including approved oils to fully realise engine
and drivetrain potential.
• Oil-drain intervals (ODI) – With engines
evolving, some manufacturers now allow up to
150,000 km between ODIs. While this figure sounds
great in theory, in practice it demands the right oil
selection and maintenance solution to be in place to
make it achievable.
• Sustainability – The road freight sector contributes
roughly 9% of global carbon dioxide emissions,
meaning pressure is mounting on businesses to comply
with modern emissions standards.2

Off-highway
Whether your equipment spends its days furrowing
fields or moving materials, you need to be sure it can be
relied on to operate consistently – whatever the season,
no matter the ask. But being regularly exposed to harsh
conditions can quickly take its toll; dust, dirt, heat and
frost mean your equipment needs protection to perform.
With so many solutions on the market, however,
keeping up with the latest best practices and trends can
often feel like a full-time job in itself:
• Predictive maintenance – Shifting from a reactive to
a predictive model of maintenance can help you increase
your asset availability by up to 15% – a huge incentive when
working in environments where every second counts.3
• Equipment rental – When it comes to expensive
machinery, renting equipment is often the more economical
choice – but could an improved maintenance strategy help
reduce your reliance on hired machinery?
• Specialist equipment – Increasingly diverse fleets
demand equally wide-ranging maintenance solutions,
whether that is sensor-loaded farming equipment for
precision agriculture or long-reach excavators that can
complete specific tasks.
• Emissions compliance – While food security and
sustainable farming are high on political agendas, the
construction industry’s carbon footprint is increasingly
under the microscope – meaning it’s never been more
important to reduce your environmental impact.

Four ways Shell Rimula
can drive business forward
If the equation for running a successful on- or off-highway By prioritising protection and performance, our Shell

while limiting your total cost of ownership (TCO), then why heavy-duty engine oils that can help you make gains in

seem so straightforward? more reliably; machines that run more efficiently; and a
business that runs more smoothly, as a result.
While certain variables may lie outside of your control,
often there are others within your grasp that can help to
balance the figures. The lubrication you use is a great
example, since it can affect so many areas of your business,
from equipment operation to emissions output.
