Independent oil company, Cleanfuel, opened the newest addition to its retail network in the country’s hub of trade and commerce and several other major industries, Batangas City.
Situated along the busy street of San Jose-Ibaan Road in Barangay Balagtas Batangas City, the 2,500 square-meter station connects to the South Luzon Expressway (SLEX) and 42-kilometer Southern Tagalog Arterial Road (STAR). Its location is also easily accessible to motorists traveling towards the road of Maharlika Highway at Santo Tomas in Lipa, Ibaan-Batangas City, and the rest of Calabarzon.
The newly opened Batangas station joins other Cleanfuel branches in the province, including the ones in Calaca, Lipa, and Lemery, providing Batangueños a more affordable yet premium fuel for their daily drives. Besides private vehicles, the recently-opened Cleanfuel station also is also set to cater to the heavy trucks going to and from the Batangas International Port.
