These products have seen tens of thousands of hours of testing across nine different industries, including trucking, construction, agriculture, mining, inland marine and much more.”
Following a five-year development phase, the Delo 400 product line has gone through Chevron’s most extensive field testing program, which is one of the most rigorous, varied and exhaustive testing programs in the industry and in Chevron’s history, the company said. At Chevron, multiple products are tested across various viscosity grades and in different engines, spanning a range of on- and off-highway manufacturers and a variety of environments to ensure performance in real-world conditions.
The Chevron attention to detail goes beyond the oil to the packaging and labeling with specially labeled caps clearly noting support for either API CK-4 or FA-4. In addition, the new Delo 400 product line will have color coordinated labels and caps to make it easy to differentiate. The ISOSYN Advanced Technology branding will be prominently featured on the package, ensuring customers know the quality of the product at purchase.
“At Chevron, our focus is on helping our customers be successful,” said Rommel Atienza, Commercial Brand Manager for North America at Chevron. “That means we are focused on working with fleet managers, and owners/operators to minimize the total cost of ownership beyond the engine and engine oils. We are shifting our perspective to look at the whole vehicle and how we can ladder up to the bigger impact on a business. Our new advisor program will help us partner with our customers to drive their business forward with the right product for their needs.”
New Program Gives Chevron Trusted Advisor Role
In addition to the new product line, Chevron will be launching a new advisor service for its customers and potential customers to help them during this time of transition, ensuring they select the right product for their needs. This new program has three phases:
-
Assess – Chevron will take stock of all the equipment, field of industry, level of performance and goals for the business.
-
Analyze – Leveraging its expertise, Chevron will work with the customer to determine what product is best for them, based on the budget, production demands and vision for the future.
-
Action – After the data has been calculated, a report will be generated outlining the ideal product recommendation that will optimize the business, advise on total vehicle efficiency improvements and customize inventory management for the needs of each company.
