Performance run proved that shifting to Petron Turbo Diesel improved fuel efficiency by an average of 16%

Tweet

A field test conducted by Petron R&D showed that test vehicles were able to achieve an average 16.4% improvement in fuel efficiency after shifting to Petron Turbo Diesel. The five-day performance run was observed and certified by representatives from the Department of Energy – Energy Utilization Management Bureau, the Automobile Association of the Philippines, and the Society of Philippine Motoring Journalists.

Twelve test vehicles, all loaded to their rated capacity, were subjected to real-world driving conditions in a 258km route traversing the mountainous and winding provincial roads of Bataan and the rolling terrain of the Clark to Subic section of the Subic-Clark-Tarlac Expressway (SCTEX). Various types of diesel engine vehicles were fielded, consisting of: (a) SUV –2022 Nissan Terra 4.4 2.5L AT, 2022 Toyota Fortuner 2.4L AT, 2016 Toyota Fortuner 2.4L AT, 2016 Mitsubishi Montero 2.4L AT; (b) Pickup – 2022 Isuzu DMAX 2.0L AT, 2022 Mitsubishi Strada 2.5L AT, 2022 Maxus T60 2.8L AT; (c) Van – 2022 Maxus G10 1.9L AT, 2022 Isuzu Traviz 2.5L MT; (d) MPV – 2019 Toyota Innova 2.8L AT; and (e) Luxury – 2022 BMW X1 1.8L AT.

Benchmark fuel efficiency data and driver ratings were first established using regular diesel. Subsequently, running the same route, the test vehicles were fueled with Petron Turbo Diesel loaded from a regular service station pump. After the first load, more than half of the test vehicles achieved an average distance gain of 11.9%. After the second load of Petron Turbo Diesel, the test vehicles improved their fuel efficiency with an average of 16.4% additional distance gained per liter. These results confirm that most diesel engine vehicles, whether new or old, can improve their fuel efficiency with the continued use of Petron Turbo Diesel.

Similarly, to compare driver perception of driving using regular diesel and Petron Turbo Diesel, all test drivers were asked to accomplish a rating form after each day’s run. Consistent with the fuel efficiency gains, the drivers also perceived continuous daily improvement in engine response, engine power, and acceleration. In particular, the test drivers found the following statements to have the most significant improvement:

• · Engine response: I can feel immediate engine response going uphill even after a slowdown on a sharp curve.

• · Engine power: Driving at a steady pace is smooth with no loss of power.

• · Acceleration: I can feel the power on demand when I step on the accelerator.

The performance run confirmed the superior formulation of Petron Turbo Diesel as a high-performance, technologically-advanced fuel. Enhanced with multi-functional additives and higher cetane number, it is proven to deliver outstanding performance across different vehicle types and driving behavior.

According to Petron R&D, the high ignition quality and combustibility of Petron Turbo Diesel maximized fuel energy conservation, thus producing maximum engine power while maintaining fuel efficiency. Further, its proven ability to effectively clean up the fuel injection system and then preserve its cleanliness delivers exceptional protection and maintains optimum performance.

As the only oil refiner in the country, Petron is laser-focused on providing Filipino motorists with fuels that have been road-tested in real-world Philippine driving conditions. As with all other Petron fuels, Petron Turbo Diesel has proven that it delivers better engine protection for longer engine life, better mileage for longer drives, and better power for more enjoyable journeys.

Globe Group’s 917Ventures, Ayala Corp and Gogoro introduce new era of sustainable transport in PH

Tweet

Companies launch Gogoro Smartscooters® and Battery-Swapping Pilot in Metro Manila, announce public availability by Q4 2023

Globe Capital Venture Holdings Director Bernie Llamzon, Ayala Corporation Chairman Jaime Augusto Zobel de Ayala, Gogoro Founder and CEO Horace Luke, Globe Group President and CEO Ernest Cu, and 917 Ventures Managing Director Vince Yamat at the launch of the Gogoro Smartscooters^®  and Battery-Swapping GoStation ecosystem in the Philippines. 

Globe Group’s 917Ventures, Ayala Corporation, and Gogoro Inc. on Monday made history as they launched Gogoro Smartscooters® and battery-swapping in the Philippines. The companies are introducing a new era in sustainable transportation that brings together smart, convenient and accessible electric two-wheelers to customers.

The announcement was made at a ceremony at the Globe headquarters in Bonifacio Global City where the three companies also announced the commercial public release of Gogoro Smartscooters® and battery-swapping stations in Metro Manila in Q4 2023.

“We in the Globe Group are very proud to bring Gogoro Smartscooters® and battery-swapping to the Philippines, a transport ecosystem that marries mobility innovation and sustainability. This year, Filipinos will have access to these electric two wheelers and Gogoro’s convenient and cost-efficient battery-swapping technology, another first in the Philippines,” said Globe Group President and CEO Ernest Cu at the launch.

Gogoro’s launch is the Globe Group’s debut in the climate tech space, as it continues to deliver innovations that address Filipinos’ daily pain points. As a better transportation alternative, Gogoro aims to address commuter woes on expensive gas prices while helping curb carbon emissions, in line with the partners’ shared commitment to sustainability, and the Philippine government's sustainable development agenda.

It also marks the Philippine entry of Gogoro, a brand that has transformed two-wheel mobility in Taiwan and fostered a new smart mobility industry with a network of eco-friendly businesses and end-users. In addition to Taiwan and the Philippines, Gogoro is also operating in China, India, Japan, Indonesia, Korea and Israel. 

Horace Luke, Founder and CEO of Gogoro, said the company is excited to bring the Gogoro ecosystem to the Philippines and is committed to replicating its success in Taiwan, where Gogoro has 540,000 riders and has deployed more than one million smart batteries at 12,000 battery-swapping stations. Gogoro riders have swapped more than 450 million total swaps, 400,000 per day, and Gogoro has saved more than 627,000 tons of CO2 since it launched.

“Our partnership with the Globe Group and Ayala Corporation in the Philippines is a major milestone in our mission to transform urban transportation and provide an accessible path for riders to adopt sustainable urban mobility and play a key role in battling climate change and making the world better for all. We look forward to working together to deliver a sustainable transport system that will improve air quality, reduce carbon emissions, and provide a superior riding experience for consumers in the Philippines,” Luke said. 

At the event, the partners unveiled the first Gogoro battery-swapping station at The Globe Tower – the start of a network of Gogoro battery-swapping stations planned to be established initially in Metro Manila and eventually across the country. 

They also announced the Gogoro pilot in Globe, where 70 employees will be the first to try out the Gogoro Smartscooters® and battery-swapping. They will test the system for two months starting in May and share insights on their experience to ensure an even better customer experience once the e-bikes become available to the public later this year. 

"The Gogoro ecosystem is very convenient as its swap-and-go technology allows riders to swap out depleted batteries for charged ones in just seconds and go on their way. With the current traffic situation in the metro, these Smartscooters® will serve as an eco-friendly alternative to ease congestion while at the same time reducing carbon emissions,”  said Bernie Llamzon, Globe Capital Venture Holdings Inc. Director. 

917Ventures Managing Director Vince Yamat, meanwhile, thanked the government’s support for the shift to EVs as he cited the importance of enabling policy for electric vehicles to succeed in the country. 

It’s as easy as swap and go with the Gogoro battery-swapping station.

“The shift to EVs, particularly deploying Gogoro’s battery-swapping system, will go a long way with sustained government support that will allow private sector initiatives to prosper. Sustainable transportation projects are, after all, aligned with the government’s long-term agenda to promote environment-friendly transport options and foster digitalization as mobility needs of Filipino individuals and businesses rise,” Yamat said.  

The Globe Group, 917Ventures and Ayala Corporation consistently lead the way in utilizing technology to enhance the lives of Filipinos and safeguard the environment through their innovative change-making initiatives.

We trust that through our collective efforts, students get a chance to have a better life and more opportunities to succeed,” shared Chevron Human Resources Regional Manager Mark Quebral.

“It’s a great feeling knowing that your mere presence and participation is already helping underprivileged students in their studies. As added bonus, you also get to do something good for yourself through exercising and staying active. Chevron believes in AmCham’s cause of contributing to the community and helping people in need, and we look forward to continuing our partnership with them and supporting their other events and activities,” CHI General Manager Ethan Flowers shared.

At the awards ceremony after the run, CHI Corporate Affairs Manager Arlita Narag accepted a plaque of appreciation as AmCham’s co-presenter of the 9th ScholaRUN. Hammering on its unique eat-and-run concept, participants got to taste American favorites such as pizza, burgers and donuts upon reaching the pit stop. The 9th Eat and Run ScholaRUN featured categories in 200M, 3K, 5K, 10K and 21K.

“We are very happy with the turnout and the general mood of the run. We are, after all, doing this for students and youth in need, so we are beyond grateful to all who participated. Currently, we have 50 scholars studying vocational technology at Don Bosco Makati. All the proceeds from our fundraising events, including the ScholaRUN - Eat & Run, go to our scholarship programs. So as always, we appreciate our sponsors, partners and participants who made this event possible,” said Edwin Feist, President of ACFPI.

For this year’s special commemoration, participating motorcycle clubs received tokens at Petron San Pedro SLEX and at Petron Pura Tarlac along the Tarlac-Pangasinan-La Union Expressway (TPLEX). Over 500 riders dropped by the designated Petron stations.

According to Mad Dog’s president, Dustin Andaya, “The two-wheel community appreciates the special focus of Petron, particularly in the products and services that are customized for our needs. For example, bikers can enjoy the exclusive motorcycle lane at Petron stations that makes fueling up safe and hassle-free. Also, they have developed products formulated for motorcycles. And, of course, the convenience stores, food establishments, and clean facilities at Petron stations are good stopovers during our rides.

Sustainable mobility for the FIFA World Cup™

Hyundai Motor first joined forces with FIFA in 1999 and has since then become its automotive provider and sponsor. This time, the brand is taking a step further to position itself as a sustainability partner by deploying eco-friendly vehicles to this year’s FIFA World Cup™, a first in the history of the event. The fleet, which will include the IONIQ 5 and Santa Fe Hybrid and Elec City Bus, are going to be used to transport national team players, VIPs and event officials. Moreover, to expand reach and spread the cause, Hyundai Motor is also pledging 1% of its sponsorship fee to Common Goal, the world’s leading social movement in football.

 

A group of ambassadors, “Team Century”, was formed by the brand in amplification of the initiative. Led by former England national team player Steven Gerrard, together with K-pop supergroup BTS, Afghan refugee soccer player and Danish UNESCO ambassador Nadia Nadim, American fashion designer Jeremy Scott, contemporary Italian artist Lorenzo Quinn, visual storyteller Nicky Woo, South Korean football icon Jisung Park, former Oman national team goalkeeper Ali Al-Habsi and Boston Dynamics’ Spot® robot.

 

New Hyundai Creta

The newest addition to the product line up of Hyundai Motor is a sub-compact crossover SUV that is efficient yet fun, stylish but safe and easy to drive. Innovative on every aspect from design to convenience features.

 

• Design

In the front, the New Creta flaunts a bold ‘Parametric Jewel’ grille with integrated daytime running lights (DRL) and a unique headlamp architecture. The side lines express a more muscular and agile body shape. Its long hood, connected black A pillar, wide C pillar, straight roof line and the deep wheel-arch gives a wider and stable stance completing the muscular look. Behind, the individual lamps match the equally daring front. Paired with the silver skid plate are signature “boomerang” shaped LED rear lamps that add to the unique identity of the vehicle. On the inside, refined lines on the side panels continued on to the dashboard form a clean, symmetrical T-shaped layout. Access panels, buttons and compartments are neatly organized and kept uncluttered to lessen visual driving obtrusions.

 

• Performance

Under the hood is a 1.5-liter SmartStream engine which allows optimal airflow control, more effective combustion, better heat and friction control and reduced exhaust. The New Creta uses an Intelligent Variant Transmission (iVT), Hyundai Motor’s flagship propriety technology, that regulates vehicle speed more cleverly than the “step-by-step” of an automatic gearbox. These enable an overall improved fuel economy while maintaining high power and torque output. It also comes with an Electronic Parking Brake (EPB) system complemented by Electronic Stability Control (ESC) and Hill Start Assist Control (HAC).

 

• Comfort and Safety

Leading the segment in terms of driver safety, the brand’s suite of intelligent cameras and ultrasonic sensors called Hyundai Smartsense is standard to the New Creta. This comprises of functions such as Forward Collison-Avoidance Assist, Lane Keeping Assist, Lane Following Assist, Blind Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist, Reverse Parking Distance Warning and Rear-View Monitor. For added comfort and functionality, there is also a 10.25” TFT LCD cluster that has multi-lingual settings and user-friendly information menus. This is accompanied by an 8” touchscreen infotainment display compatible with both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto as well as a fast wireless charger for hands-free connectivity.

 

The model is available in four (4) colors which are Creamy White, Magnetic Silver Metallic, Dragon Red Pearl and Midnight Black Pearl. It has three (3) variants starting with the 1.5 GL 6MT, 1.5 GL CVT and 1.5 GLS CVT. The latter, comes with a black roof for a distinct two-tone styling.
