VIVO ENERGY KENYA RESPONSE TO SOCIAL MEDIA CLAIMS ON SHELL V-POWER
Nairobi- Vivo Energy Kenya, the exclusive distributor and marketer of Shell products in the country, is aware of a video circulating on social media titled “Testing Petrol Quality in Kenya” which questions the quality of Shell V-Power at select Shell service stations.
Our fuel imports into Kenya adhere to strict quality standards, with two standard Research Octane Number (RON) categories: Unleaded (RON 93) and Shell V-Power (RON 95). Each shipment is certified at source and undergoes further rigorous testing upon arrival into the country.
At Vivo Energy Kenya, we have stringent quality control measures in place at our depots to ensure that all fuels meet the required standards before being distributed through our nationwide Shell service station network.
We take these claims seriously and have initiated a comprehensive investigation, including independent laboratory testing. We will provide further updates once our review is complete.
