With the objective of selling high quality Donaldson Filtration solutions, UTE Engineering penned down a partnership agreement with Chevron Lubricants. The agreement will go hand in hand as UTE Engineering will bring down the filtration solutions from the US and sell the product through Chevrons island wide retail network.

Mr. Kishu Gomes, Managing Director/CEO of Chevron Lubricants stated “We are pleased

to partner with UTE Engineering to offer added value to our network of channel partners and their customers. In a market where there are various spurious lubricants sold by unscrupulous dealers, the Caltex network of Approved Oil Marts, Star Care and Xpress Lube outlets have earned a reputation of trust and reliability which we believe is what prompted UTE to use our branded channels to distribute Donaldson filtration solutions to the market”.

With the increase in number of low quality filtration systems in the local market, the Donaldson system will be a breath of fresh air to customers looking for a reliable solution for their filtration requirements.

The Donaldson filtration system will be available at Chevrons vehicle service stations and lubricant retailers catering to all models of busses, trucks and tippers, whether manufactured in Europe or Asia. With a competitive price point, Vehicle fleet owners will be the first to hone in on the US product.

The present government recently announced its plans towards converting Sri Lanka to a leading user of electric powered transportation by the year of 2020. Keeping up to their vision, Finance Minister Mangala Samaraweera claims that the initiative will begin by converting all government used vehicles to hybrid or electric vehicles by 2025. To encourage the public to invest in electric powered vehicles in order to create a sustainable environment in the country, the government will be offering incentive structures for these alternatively powered vehicles and fossil fuel powered vehicles will be strongly taxed to prevent the public from buying them.
