Castrol Vecton RX Fuel Saver
10W-40 diesel engine oil co-engineered by Castrol India Limited and Tata Motors
Limited, was launched on March 14, 2015 on the sidelines of the first day of
the T1 Prima Truck racing Championship at the Buddh International Circuit,
Greater Noida. Castrol Vecton RX Fuel Saver is the official engine oil of all
trucks competing in the T1 Prima Truck Racing Championship 2015
This oil is designed to
increase the fuel efficiency of Tata trucks by 3pc, which will save substantial
amounts of diesel as well as operating costs for these trucks.
Castrol Vecton RX Fuel Saver
has the potential to save almost Rs.40,000 per annum for a truck which travels
about 100,000 kms during a year
Ravi Kirpalani, Managing
Director, Castrol India Limited, said: “Castrol Vecton RX Fuel Saver 10W-40
incorporates Castrol’s pioneering technology and has been developed and rigorously
tested for over four years in Castrol’s laboratories in Pangbourne - UK, and
India, and on the roads. The challenge was to develop a product which was fuel
efficient but yet tough enough to withstand the huge pressure faced by trucks
on difficult roads and under tough operating conditions, including overloading.
This co-engineering effort between Tata Motors and Castrol is yet another
example of the collaborative manner and the true partnership spirit in which
both our companies operate. This year we complete 30 years of our relationship
with Tata Motors and we are indeed delighted to work with such a strong and
trusted partner.”
With the advent of tighter
emission norms, modern diesel engines are becoming more technologically
advanced. Castrol Vecton RX Fuel Saver 10W-40, with system 5 Technology, is
specifically engineered to deliver extended drain interval and reduced
emission, along with increased fuel efficiency.
Castrol Vecton RX Fuel Saver
10W-40 adapts to changing engine conditions to maximise engine performance in
five key areas:
• Reduced fuel consumption
• Reduced oil consumption
• Longer oil drain interval
• Enhanced component life
• Increased power
Ravi Pisharody (Executive
Director – CVBU, Tata Motors), “The Indian commercial vehicle industry is
becoming more conscious of Total Cost of Ownership (TCO), which includes not
just the capital cost but also the operating cost. Diesel cost constitutes
almost 50pc of the Total Cost of Ownership and Castrol Vecton RX Fuel Saver
10W40 has the potential to enable substantial savings for our customers. We are
therefore delighted that Castrol has launched this new product specifically for
Tata Motors customers.”
