Caltex Singapore launches the Techron Concentrate Plus (TCP) fuel system cleaner

Caltex Singapore has launch its patented Techron Concentrate Plus (TCP) fuel system cleaner in Singapore.

For the first time in Southeast Asia, motorists will now have an additional avenue to enjoy the benefits of Caltex's patented Techron technology, a scientifically proven formula to clean vehicle engines running on petrol, ensuring optimal performance for motorists, in concentrated bottle form.

TCP is an effective and easy-to-use solution. Through its uniquely designed packaging, motorists are able to conveniently add a bottle of TCP into their vehicle's empty tank before their next fill up. In just one tankful, it cleans engine deposits and protects the entire fuel system, restores lost power and performance, and helps reduce emissions while maximising fuel economy.

"Your vehicle engine is prone to accumulating dirt and carbon deposits over time without care. Caltex's Techron technology is the perfect detox for your car engine. You can now deep-clean your engine in just one tankful. The launch of TCP in Singapore offers our customers more options to enjoy their journey better," commented Lennard Kwek, Asia Pacific Marketing Manager, Chevron Lubricants.

Caltex had conducted a boroscope test in Thailand in 2013, utilising a specially designed camera to examine the interior of a vehicle's fuel system to inspect the cleanliness of critical engine parts. The test had revealed the harmful effects that lower quality petrol have on motor engines, while highlighting the cleaning proposition of Caltex's Techron Technology as the ideal solution for motorists.

Techron has been proven to be efficient at keeping intake valves cleaner based on the boroscope tests conducted on a total of 232 valves from 30 vehicles tested in Thailand. Tests conducted on four 2008 Japanese sedans, had revealed an average score of 8.1 out of 10 prior to using TCP. After using TCP, these four cars achieved an average score of 9.9 out of 10.

The Land Transport Authority (LTA) has published that as of April 2014, more than 80 per cent of Singaporean vehicles are about four years or older. These older vehicles may be more susceptible to deposit buildup. However, with TCP, motorists are now able to counter-act these deficits and may immediately feel an improvement in their vehicle power and drivability, with just one bottle.

TCP allows motorists to enjoy the benefits of Techron in a portable bottle, and never have to be without the cleaning power of Techron, even when they are unable to locate a Caltex service station. Techron is available in all Caltex petrol grades and in TCP. TCP will be sold at all 27 Caltex petrol stations and retails at $21.80.

As part of its promotional launch, TCP will be available at $17.50 from now until 30 June 2014. For more information on Caltex and its products, visit http://www.caltex.com/sg.
