Petronas Dagangan Berhad (PDB) expects to launch its new automotive fuel next month.
PDB retail business division senior general manager Izuddin Husaini Mohd Yusoff said he expects an encouraging response to the fuel, which will be available at all Petronas gas station outlets nationwide.
Izuddin Husaini said the fuel was developed through the company’s association with Formula One (F1).
The national oil company is the title sponsor for the yearly Petronas Malaysian Grand Prix (GP) race in Sepang.
“We want to transfer our F1 technology to road users as well,” Izuddin Husaini said at a media briefing yesterday.
Izuddin Husaini added that the fuel could be used for all types of vehicles but declined to reveal any details about the grading or cost.
At a presentation earlier, it was revealed that Petronas had conducted a blind test on 50 vehicles covering some 25,000km with the mystery fuel.
