Independent Lab Tests Confirm Shell V-Power Meets Global Standards in Kenya

Vivo Energy Kenya said all fuel undergoes independent lab testing upon arrival before distribution, adding that daily quality checks at depots and Shell service stations monitor water content, density, appearance, and color to ensure consistency.

Vivo Energy Kenya confirmed the quality of Shell V-Power fuel after an independent laboratory test confirmed it meets global standards.

The test was conducted by Intertek Testing Services, a globally accredited lab, following concerns raised in a viral social media video.

The results verified that Shell V-Power in Kenya maintains the intended Research Octane Number (RON) of 95, with sample tests showing:
Limuru Road Service Station – RON 95.1
Woodridge Service Station – RON 96
Lavington Service Station – RON 95.9

Vivo Energy Kenya, the exclusive distributor of Shell fuels and lubricants, launched an investigation after online claims questioned the fuel quality at select service stations.

“Shell V-Power is imported via designated cargo ships with a certified RON of 95—a refinery property that cannot be altered.”

Commitment to Fuel Quality Assurance

Vivo Energy Kenya said all fuel undergoes independent lab testing upon arrival before distribution, adding that daily quality checks at depots and Shell service stations monitor water content, density, appearance, and color to ensure consistency.

Its Mobile Testing Laboratory conducts independent spot tests nationwide to verify product integrity and maintain consumer trust.

Vivo Energy Kenya confirmed it continues to prioritize fuel quality and transparency.
