Introducing energy-saving Caltex station in the heart of Bonifacio Global City

In a recent development, Chevron Philippines Inc., purveyor of the Caltex brand of fuels and lubricants, and Fort Bonifacio Development Corp., notable developer of the bustling Bonifacio Global City (BGC) in Taguig, announced signing a pact which cements the construction of Chevron’s pioneering station within the BGC premises. This future station will encompass a Caltex autoPro workshop.

Chevron Corporation, in its official statement, reported acquiring several accolades for the conceptualisation and reality of analogous Caltex stations in Malaysia and Singapore. It aims to replicate and exhibit this successful and celebrated model in the Philippine industry.

The proposed hallmark service station has a strategic positioning along the vibrant 32nd Street, within the precinct of Crescent Park West District in BGC. The future Caltex station in BGC is poised to introduce a slew of novel features aimed at enhancing convenience and inclusiveness.

Importantly, it looks to challenge the sustainability benchmark by integrating electric vehicle (EV) charging stations. The construction blueprint leans heavily towards environmental consciousness, adopting materials with a minimal footprint such as paints and adhesives with negligible or no volatile organic compound content.

Additionally, the station aims to be energy efficient, pledging to utilise solar panels and energy-saving LED lights to curb its energy demands. In a step to further its commitment to the environment, it will incorporate an ingenious rainwater harvesting system.

With particular attention to inclusivity, the station will also play host to dedicated bicycle racks, extending an open invitation to cyclists to recharge and relax.

The flagship Caltex autoPro aims to encapsulate the BGC ethos with a distinct aesthetic. It purports to provide holistic catering to customers availing the workshop services, alongside an upscale customer lounge reported Manila Times.

As customers step into the Caltex autoPro workshop, they would be greeted by the harmonious blend of modernity and superior facility management. Caltex autoPro workshops have fast gained a reputation as the preferred destination for car owners hunting for superior maintenance services without the steep cost associated with dealerships. It provides them with a well-rounded assortment of solutions.

Customers frequenting the Caltex autoPro can also capitalise on their vibrant, seasonal promotional offers exclusively available at these recognisable branded facilities.
