This week, ENEOS launched a new campaign featuring the slogan, “No Limits. No Compromises. Pure Performance.” The campaign features ENEOS partners Kyle Larson (No. 42, NASCAR XFINITY Series) and Steve Arpin (No. 00, Global Rallycross) and highlights the careers, focus and motivation of the drivers, and what it takes to compete at a high level in motorsports.
“The ENEOS philosophy is high performance. Our partnership with Kyle Larson and Steve Arpin embody our company philosophy,” said Motoshi Sunami, President and CEO of JX Nippon Oil & Energy, parent company of ENEOS. “Both drivers’ dedication and ability must work in tandem with their technology. The same is true with ENEOS products: we use our best talent and technology of our in-house research and development in order to achieve the highest standards of performance for our customer’s technology.”
ENEOS is manufactured specifically for Asian OEM standards, although its low viscosity, all-synthetic and high quality composition make ENEOS a top choice for most vehicles, particularly those with performance in mind. This campaign will target those automotive enthusiasts using the voice of the drivers ENEOS supports.
Each spot features the story of the driver, intermixed with photos and video of the drivers with their vehicles and teams, as well as racing highlights. The drivers narrate the video, which culminates with the ENEOS slogan “No Limits. No Compromises. Pure Performance.”; a description of the primary ENEOS product lines along with a shot of two product bottles; and of course, the classic orange and red swirls of the ENEOS logo.
