Saudi Wafi Energy will provide lubricants for Hyundai vehicles in Pakistan.

Wafi Energy Pakistan Limited, a Saudi company, stated on Wednesday that it has entered into an arrangement with Hyundai’s official manufacturing partner to provide premium lubricants for the company’s vehicles in Pakistan.

In November 2024, Wafi Energy, a subsidiary of the Asyad Group, acquired a controlling stake in Shell Pakistan Limited (SPL), currently possessing around 87.78 percent of SPL’s total issued share capital, making it one of the oldest corporations in Pakistan. The SPL possesses a network over 600 locations, nationwide storage facilities, and an extensive array of international lubricant brands.

Hyundai Nishat Motors is a collaboration between three prominent international entities: The Nishat Group, the Japan-based Sojitz Corporation, and Millat Tractors Ltd. Hyundai Nishat Motors produces, promotes, and distributes Hyundai’s product range in Pakistan.

Wafi Energy Pakistan Limited and Hyundai Nishat Motors have entered into a strategic partnership for the provision of Shell lubricants for Hyundai automobiles in Pakistan, according to a press release from the Saudi business.

The contract signing ceremony in Lahore signified the introduction of Shell Helix HX8 0W-20 AH, according to the business.

Wafi Energy Pakistan stated that the lubricant is meticulously engineered to conform to Hyundai’s technical criteria. It provides extensive engine protection, improved fuel efficiency, and optimal performance tailored to local driving conditions throughout Pakistan, according to the release.

Wafi Energy announced that “Shell Helix HX8 0W-20 AH is the second co-branded lubricant launched under the Hyundai–Shell partnership in Pakistan, thereby broadening the collaboratively developed product line.”

“This collaboration enables customers to depend on genuine, OEM-sanctioned lubricants that adhere to the highest standards of performance and reliability.”

Wafi Energy operates two retail stations in Karachi and Rawalpindi, Pakistan. A 730-foot plastic road has been constructed outside its Karachi headquarters from 2.5 tons of discarded lubricant bottles.
