Fuel firm says smartphone initiative puts relevant information at drivers’ fingertips
Caltex has launched a smartphone app that pulls together nearly 200 of its truck refuelling outlets.
Called the National Truck Network (NTN), the initiative identifies outlet locations and provides information about each of them in one spot.
Caltex National Manager Marketing Services Michael Ridley-Smith said all sites accept Caltex StarCard and feature high-flow diesel pumps.
With few exceptions, they operated 24 hours a day, seven days a week and can accommodate B-doubles.
“Caltex is very aware that transport customers want easy access to the latest products and services – that is why many sites in the NTN will also include premium diesel and diesel exhaust fluid, also known as AdBlue,” Ridley-Smith said.
“We also recognise that there are tangible costs associated with every minute of time occupied and every kilometre driven – drivers don’t have the time and their employers don’t have the resources to have trucks driving to different locations to access the variety of products and services they require.
“We developed the new smartphone app as we want drivers to have all the information they need about the key products and services at every location in Caltex’s leading network of truck refuelling sites so they can choose the most convenient site at which to refuel and access the other facilities before safely continuing their journey.
