We expect addvantage will keep us busy installing LPG fuelling infrastructure at their client’s depots as well as installing and maintaining the addvantage dual-fuel system to client fleets.
Commenting on the agreement, Chairman H.E. Rashid Hamdan Bin Khadim Al Nuaimi said “We couldn’t hope for a better partner collaboration than with HWGas and PetroSafe who have an enviable track record in the UAE with decades of experience. They have won the confidence of the UAE Government, including the Ministry of Defence who they have serviced for many years. The arrival of the addvantage fuel-saving technology in the UAE marks a significant milestone – not only in terms of the economic savings it delivers to logistics fleets but more importantly to the potential material impact it will have on the environment and the significant reduction of CO2 emissions if widely implemented.”
