Australia: Caltex adds new truck stop to its network
Caltex opens new truck stop in Sydney adding to its extensive National Truck Network.
The Banksmeadow site is the newest addition to Caltex’s National Truck Network – the largest truck refuelling network in Australia, comprising 200 dedicated truck stops and 300 truck-friendly sites across the country.
Transport companies and truck drivers accessing Sydney’s key air and sea transport hubs will have easier access to fuel, according to Caltex.
Attached to Caltex’s Banksmeadow fuel terminal, the facility is designed to cater for a wide range of trucks, from light rigid trucks to B-doubles, with 16 ultra-high-flow pumps that can deliver diesel at a rate of 130 litres per minute.
“The new site is ideally positioned between Sydney’s two major international gateways – Port Botany and Sydney Airport – and connected to the key arterial roads that service approximately 7,750 commercial vehicles travelling into the area every day,” said Scott Nicholls, Caltex Australia’s General Manager Business to Business Sales.
Last year Caltex bolstered its National Truck Network with the addition of 15 dedicated sites, including a facility at the Port of Brisbane.
Continuing its investment into Australia’s growing transport and logistics sector, there are plans to open another 10 sites in 2016.
