Whether your goal is to Avoid, Reduce or Compensate for life cycle emissions, we can guide you with the right mix of products, insights and support – tailored to your business needs.

Find your route towards fleet decarbonisation

Avoid emissions

Ready to go electric? We provide tailored EV charging solutions for all fleet types — from depot charging to office integration and even home charging for employees through our trusted partnerships.

Reduce emissions

We appreciate there is no single solution for all fleets and a complete transition is unlikely to happen overnight. As part of Shell's energy transition strategy, we are focusing on our existing fuel products, low-carbon fuels and environmental products with carbon credits7 , 8 so you can continue to be sure of Shell across every step of your energy journey.

Compensate for your unavoidable emissions

Use carbon credits generated by verified projects for your fleet’s unavoidable CO2 emissions – for situations where further reduction or avoidance of your fleet’s CO2 emissions  isn’t feasible7,8.

EV charging on-the-go

With the Shell Card you can access more than 1,000,000 Shell Recharge and Partner Network charge points across Europe for convenient and fast charging. Payment is easy via Shell Card, and your drivers can use the Shell App to find charging locations, view charger availability and make payments, as well as managing their loyalty benefits.

For heavy-duty vehicle drivers we provide access to a truck charging network that includes dedicated Shell Recharge truck charging sites in key locations, multi-energy Shell Recharge truck sites, and partner roaming sites, totalling more than 150,000 DC charge points. Our Shell Recharge sites offer Book & Charge functionality, allowing you to book in advance and combine charging with driver rest periods.

Cleanliness and engine performance recovery demonstrated using industry standard and Shell proprietary tests. Actual effects and benefits may vary according to vehicle type, vehicle age, vehicle condition and driving style. No guarantees provided.

2. The actual savings are highly dependent on the customer use case, other customer inputs such as energy prices, cost of infrastructure, and geography. The Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) reduction figures presented herein are estimates derived using Shell’s TCO calculation model. Energy savings are estimated using the Gridcog web-based tool for energy optimisation.

5. When switching from diesel. Based on Shell’s operability studies and market experience to date. Vehicle handbook and/or label at the fuel tank socket must be checked for OEM approval. Not applicable for passenger cars.

6. Based on OEM Data. Applies to all LNG ICE road engines

7. We aim to support high quality carbon credit projects that help make a positive impact by helping to avoid or reduce emissions, and often delivering other co-benefits such as improved biodiversity, protection of wildlife and support for local communities. As part of our commitment to supporting high quality projects, we only offer carbon credits that hold independent third-party accreditation under an internationally recognised standard (e.g. Verra, Gold Standard, American Carbon Registry) and undertake our own enhanced due diligence processes to assess projects against Shell's quality markers.

8. The term “Product with carbon credits” does not imply that the product is a substitute for switching to low-emission energy solutions or reducing fossil fuel usage. Although carbon credits aim to compensate for CO2 emissions, actual emissions will still be released into the atmosphere. These carbon credits have been generated in accordance with international carbon standards, but the compensation is based on best available estimates and may not be exact. Shell businesses encourage their customers to focus first on emissions that can be avoided or reduced and only then compensate the remaining emissions through the purchase and retirement of voluntary carbon credits.“Product with carbon credits” indicates that Shell will engage in a transaction where an amount of CO2 equivalent to the estimated emissions from the product’s lifecycle including raw material extraction, transport, production, distribution and usage / end-of-life is intended to be compensated through the purchase and retirement of carbon credits. As the full lifecycle emissions cannot be calculated, the compensation is based on best available estimates.

9. Based on OM646LA engine test compared with ACEA C3 specification

10. CO2e (CO2 equivalent) refers to CO2, CH4, N2O.

11. The reduced GHG emissions are calculated by comparing the LNG Well-to-Wheel emissions for the High Pressure Direct Injection (HPDI) engine from the “Greenhouse Gas Intensity of Natural Gas” study by Thinkstep for NGVA Europe (2017). This was compared to a GHG baseline intensity of 90 gCO2e/MJ on a Well-to-Wheel basis, which is representative of a European Union market B7 diesel. The carbon intensity of the B7 diesel is calculated by Shell using emission factors from the JEC Well-to-Tank report v5. (European Commission, Joint Research Centre, Prussi, M., Yugo, M., De Prada, L., et al., JEC well-to-tank report V5 : JEC well-to-wheels analysis : well-to-wheels analysis of future automotive fuels and powertrains in the European context, Publications Office, 2020, https://data.europa.eu/doi/10.2760/959137

Tools and services to help you on your journey to a lower emissions fleet

Whether you’re starting your fleet transition journey or want to understand when your transition is going to have TCO benefits, our tools and services can help. They provide guidance on when to take steps to avoid fleet emissions or whether to continue to reduce and compensate for your life-cycle emissions.

Shell Glidepath Study

Shell’s Decarbonisation Glidepath study helps heavy-duty (HDV) and light commercial vehicle fleet (LCV) operators understand how switching to low-emission vehicles could be operationalised in their fleet. It highlights the challenges, emissions impact and costs of different scenarios over a period, so you can choose the best path based on data, potential savings and strategic goals.
