ENOC goes green with its new range of eco-friendly products and services
Innovative devices can save up to 20 per cent on fuel consumption and increase cars power by 10 per cent
Dubai, December 23, 2008: Emirates National Oil Company (ENOC) renewed its commitment to the environment by introducing new range of eco-friendly products and services at ENOC/EPPCO service stations in Dubai and Northern Emirates. The initiative is part of ENOC’s overall Corporate Social Responsibility strategy and is in keeping with its constantly endeavours to give back to the community.
ENOC’s environmentally friendly products include the engine oils PROTEC Geen for gasoline engines and VULCAN Green for diesel engines. Both are designed to ensure better health for the vehicle and lower levels of greenhouse gases for the environment.
The green Very Low Sulfur Diesel (VLSD) is also available at ENOC/EPPCO service stations. This innovative diesel contains 10 times less sulfur than the standard one, which means a cleaner engine for cars and a cleaner environment for everyone.
Car owners can also use the waterless car wash system that allows them to have their cars cleaned and shined without using a single drop of water. The recently introduced concept saves water and prevents detergents from polluting the environment with its new No-Wet technique, an all-in-one eco-friendly car wash liquid. Made from all natural ingredients, the product does not contain petroleum distillates, silicone, abrasives, harmful chemicals or detergents to pollute the water.
Other key environmentally friendly products include Hiclone fuel-saving devices that are available at selected ENOC/EPPCO service stations. When installed on the vehicle, Hiclone improves fuel economy and engine efficiency while helping decrease air and noise pollution.
Hiclone can reduce the carbon footprint by 60 per cent, as it reduces incomplete combustion and harmful emissions. It can also enhance the towing efficiency, reduce fuel consumption by 20 per cent, and add 10 per cent to the car’s power. Moreover, the uniform movement of the pistons reduces engine noise and prevents abnormal abrasion.
In addition, ENOC uses only biodegradable plastic bags in all its Convenience Stores. Khalid Hadi, Group Brand and Marketing Manager commented: “As a socially responsible company, we take environmental issues seriously and we understand the positive changes we can make in the society. With sensible and thoughtful initiatives, we are delighted that we can lessen environmental impact every time customers use our range of products and services.”
“Corporate social responsibility is at the heart of ENOC’s decision-making process and the company aims to be a model for businesses in impacting communities around them, including employees, associates, customers and the larger society. We are committed to work with an ethos of environmental responsibility that shines through our operations, products, services and sites,” Hadi added.
To encourage using the environmentally friendly products and services, ENOC launched a special offer that allows customers to save AED20 on a waterless car wash for every oil change using PROTEC Green from December 17, 2008 to January 15, 2009.
