Every kilometre your fleet runs, fuel is either burned completely — or wasted. Operators who measure closely already sense where the gap is.

§ 01 · Certified test evidence

Measured on a Scania DC13-114 heavy-duty diesel engine.

NTROPYX® was tested on a Scania DC13-114 heavy-duty diesel engine at an ISO/IEC 17025 accredited laboratory, running on standard diesel conforming to EN 590 / GB 19147. Testing followed the European Stationary Cycle (ESC) per Directive 2005/78/EC and measurement procedures per Directive 2005/55/EC.

§ On the road Field reality

Tested on the bench. Proven on the road.

The same molecular combustion catalyst measured in the ESC-cycle bench test is applied to customer fleets at calibrated dosage — every litre burned, every kilometre driven.

§ 03 · Technology

Not an additive. A quantum catalyst.

NTROPYX® is a combustion catalyst — not a fuel additive. It is positioned by Virgo Global Energy SA as a category of its own, distinct from conventional fuel treatments available on the market.

Classification

NTROPYX is a combustion catalyst, not a fuel additive.

Fuel chemistry

Does not modify the chemistry of the treated fuel.

Detection

Chemically undetectable in the treated fuel.

Dosage

Treatment ratio is calibrated per customer, scaled to volume and operating profile.

Note: The above positioning reflects the product classification stated by Virgo Global Energy SA (Switzerland) and Dr. Frederic Raimi, product inventor. NTROPYX® is a registered trademark of Virgo Global Energy SA.
§ 04 · Economic impact

EU27 + CH — 197.7 billion litres of road diesel. 10.4% recoverable.

Road transport burned 7 002 108 TJ of gas oil & diesel across EU27 in 2023 (Eurostat) — ~194.5 Bn L. Switzerland adds 3.16 Bn L of diesel deliveries (Avenergy Suisse 2023). Combined: ~197.7 Bn L. Across heavy-duty long-haul fleets, applied at sector scale, the NTROPYX® combustion catalyst represents the largest single recovery pool of any European sector.
