TANECO launched the production of premium Euro-5 gasoline under the “Taneco-100” brand. The formulation of Taneco-100 motor gasoline allows achieving the best physicochemical, operational, and environmental performance. Its high quality is made possible through the use of advanced technologies by world leaders in oil refining, such as UOP Limited, Chevron Lummus Global, and NPP Neftekhim.

High-octane gasoline is designed for state-of-the-art engines with the octane number requirements of at least 95 points. Fuel produced under the Taneco-100 brand guarantees high engine efficiency, extend the engine service life, and significantly reduce the fuel consumption.

The ultra-low content of tar and olefin hydrocarbons in AI-100 gasoline minimises the carbon formation, provides for more complete combustion, and reduces the scale formation on engine parts.

The production of the high-quality gasoline with the octane number of 100 has been another confirmation of the Tatneft’s refinery complex desire to progressive development through the application of the most up-to-date technical solutions.

The fuel produced by TANECO will be sold through the filling stations of Tatneft.
