Chevron Lubricants Lanka PLC, the nation’s lubricant market leader in operation since 1992, joined hands with the Transport Ministry and National Transport Commission to initiate a relief programme to provide the much-needed relief to private bus owners, who have been adversely affected by the current pandemic situation. 

Considering the impact on the livelihoods of private bus owners, due to the COVID restrictions, Chevron Lubricants Lanka has embarked on a relief programme that will provide invaluable benefit when they purchase lubricants through exclusive Chevron sales channels. Chevron Lubricants Lanka will work closely with the National Transport Commission to provide relief benefits to an estimated 17,000 private bus owners islandwide, enabling them to better maintain their vehicles.  

“We are very keen to partner with the transport industry that is trying its best to revive itself after the pandemic crisis. We wish to thank the National Transport Commission and Transport Ministry for this opportunity to contribute toward the community. They are an integral part of the ecosystem and this is our way of appreciating them for their invaluable service to the public. We are hopeful that through this gesture we will be able to stimulate the recovery of the private bus industry,” stated Chevron Lubricants Lanka PLC Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer Muhammad Najam Shamsuddin.

Commenting further, Shamsuddin said, “It has been a difficult time for everyone, especially those in the transport industry, due to the travel restrictions that were imperative for the safety of the people in the country. Slowly, as we are working to return to normalcy, we believe it is our social responsibility to ensure that vehicle engines of the private buses are well maintained and are kept in good condition. This aspect is essential for the safety of the vehicle owner, driver as well as the public, given that the engine is an integral and primary component of any vehicle.”  
Chevron Lubricants Lanka has always aimed to give its best to the community and consumers. The recently concluded consumer benefit activity rewarded its valued consumers, despite the economic suppressions and adversities during this time. In addition, a separate partner support activity was held during the bygone months to appreciate their trade partners, mechanics and service station operators, in an effort to uplift and support the lives that are striving to overcome the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic. 

Chevron Lubricants Lanka, the leading marketer of Caltex, Havoline, Delo and Lanka-branded lubricants in Sri Lanka, is an established industry leader, providing a comprehensive range of engine oils, including passenger car oils, motorcycle and scooter oils and other auxiliary products to enable the outstanding performance of vehicles.
