Petro-Canada Expands On-Site Refuelling Program Offering

Mississauga, Ontario (July 14, 2011) - Petro-Canada announced enhancements to the On-Site Refuelling program today. The service delivers diesel fuel directly to fleet vehicles, construction equipment and marine vessels, whenever is convenient.

The On-Site Refuelling program allows users to maximize operating hours by scheduling fuelling, reducing downtime, and eliminating the need to handle, refill or track fuel storage on-site. During the fuelling process an automated solution is used to capture fuelling volumes by vehicle. This information is then transmitted to Petro-Canada’s secure website where individualized reporting is available for tracking budgets, and generating detailed volume and product price reports for the entire fleet and equipment. With customized reporting and availability, increased opportunities to control and manage business begin. Online reports for individual yards or a whole fleet are available in one central location - 24 hours a day.

“The recent addition of On-Site Refuelling builds on our existing industry-leading position in retail and wholesale fuelling in Canada,” says Howard McIntyre, Vice-President Marketing. “Our focus at Petro-Canada is to meet all of our customers fuelling and lubricants needs - from end-to-end.”

Time spent by operators and drivers waiting to refuel equipment or driving to a fuelling station to fill up can be eliminated. With On-Site Refuelling, equipment is ready to go as soon as employees arrive for their shift. Without bulk storage of fuel on-site, the danger of theft and environmental risk can be reduced and less fuel is held in inventory.

At Petro-Canada, safety is a critical part of business. On-Site Refuelling safety processes and procedures are in place, and specialized equipment is used to ensure fuel solutions are delivered with safety as the priority. All drivers receive comprehensive training for On-Site Refuelling to ensure that vehicles are refuelled in a safe and reliable manner.

Petro-Canada is proud to offer the nation’s largest network of on-road commercial fuelling centres, including more than 200 Petro-Pass locations across Canada, and a large network of distributors from coast to coast to meet bulk on-site fuel or lubricants needs.
