The test frame and parameters have been designed by an independent expert commission, which DLG engineers strictly adhere to.
[Scenes of engineers evaluating and discussing test results to check their status]
[Voice Over]
Together with Shell, DLG have developed a testing program that combines a series of PowerMix tests to verify the quality of fuels and lubricants.

2.7% FUEL ECONOMY*
>> LOWER FUEL AND OPERATING COSTS
*FROM PTO TESTING
[Voice Over]
The test demonstrated 2.7% fuel economy, which can ultimately lead to lower fuel and operating costs.

[Scenes of heavy-duty equipment being operated at the DLG TestCenter and on location]
Results have confirmed that our modern fuels and lubricants reduce total cost of ownership.
The Shell project has been a good opportunity for the DLG TestCenter, because we tested 1000s of test cycles PowerMix with tractors, but now we also tested for fuels and lubricants.
