Shell will supply the co-branded Shell Advance Ducati engine oil and Ducati Corse Performance Oil powered by Shell Advance, with the latter launched in 2023.

It will also supply engine oils for the first fill of all Ducati motorcycles produced at Ducati鈥檚 factories in Bologna (Italy) and Rayong (Thailand) and Shell Advance Ducati engine oil to the aftermarket through Ducati鈥檚 global dealer network.

Aysun Akik, Vice President New Business Development and Global Key Accounts at Shell Lubricants, said: 鈥淭he extension of our collaboration is testament to the strength of our 25-year relationship with Ducati, and will see us continuing to take the learnings and innovations from the racetrack to deliver better road-going products for the benefit of Ducati and Shell customers around the world.鈥�

Francesco Milicia, VP Sales and After Sales Ducati Motor Holding, said: "Our company firmly believes in the transfer of knowledge and technologies from the world of racing competition to production motorcycles. The partnership with Shell, which has been successfully at our side for more than 20 years, also follows this approach. The renewal of the agreement allows us to continue working together on increasingly high-performance products, with the aim of enhancing the performance of our motorcycles, as recently happened with the Ducati Corse Performance Oil Powered by Shell Advance."

Shell has supported Ducati since 1999 when the manufacturer was racing in the WorldSBK Championship and since 2003 when it joined the MotoGP Championship. The technical partnership is one of the most recognisable and successful in premier motorcycle racing. Most recently, Ducati Corse won the 2022 and 2023 Constructors鈥� Championship and Riders鈥� title with the Italian Francesco Bagnaia in MotoGP.
