Shell recently unveiled the Starship 3.0 hybrid truck in Hungary, during its second stop as part of its European tour. This new model, the latest outcome of Shell’s 2018 Starship Project, aims to accelerate global freight decarbonisation and improve energy efficiency.

After its debut at Automechanika in Frankfurt in September 2024, the Starship 3.0 hybrid truck attracted considerable industry interest. Through collaboration with Chinese manufacturer FAW Jiefang, Shell has globally demonstrated the truck’s impressive results in reducing fuel consumption and emissions.

Data shows that, under highway conditions with full loads, the Starship 3.0 hybrid truck consumes 23.3L/100km, reducing to 22.7L/100km with Shell FuelSave Diesel and Shell Diesel Renewable Blend, significantly lower than the Chinese industry average of 32.5L/100km.

The Starship 3.0 hybrid truck is not merely a new concept truck but a commitment to sustainable development. As global priorities shift toward environmental consciousness and energy efficiency, innovative vehicles like Starship 3.0 are set to lead the future of transportation.

Shell has pledged continued partnership and technological innovation, striving for a decarbonised commercial transport industry. Through these efforts, the global logistics sector can anticipate a cleaner and more efficient future.

Hungarian journalist Aranyi Péter noted: “With so many onlookers, it was nearly impossible to get a clear photo.”

On TikTok, user “mateos_official” commented, “The capabilities of the Shell Starship 3.0 are astonishing. This truck is arguably one of Tesla’s strongest competitors, featuring a highly efficient diesel plug-in hybrid system.”
