Tyre inflation specialist PCL is helping to keep Britain’s roads safe by supplying its efficient, user-friendly equipment to Hampshire Police.

PCL has been enlisted by Malaysian oil and gas giant PETRONAS to supply its world-leading nitrogen inflation units for a new “green” twin station concept

Dagangan Berhad (PDB) has launched its energy-efficient “twin petrol stations” in the district of Kajang, Selangor, in a strategic position on both the North-South Expressway and the Besraya Highway. This is the first of a series of side-by-side stations being developed as part of PETRONAS’ commitment to the environment.

The new double-layer PETRONAS development has two entrances, enabling drivers on each road to access the service station. This will become the blueprint for PETRONAS service stations in the future.

PETRONAS is developing the connected “one-stop service” stations so that customers can refuel their car, have a meal, go shopping, and deal with personal and business issues all in the same location. This is a completely new lifestyle
