PSO launches modern fleet for safe transportation of petroleum products
The newly built PSO tank lorry complies fully with the standards set by OGRA and NHA.
KARACHI (Dunya News) - MD & CEO PSO, Sheikh Imranul Haque, inaugurated the latest brand of tank lorry that will ensure safe transportation of petroleum products across the nation.
The newly built PSO tank lorry complies fully with the standards set by the Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority (OGRA) and National Highways Authority (NHA).
PSO contracts Pakistan’s largest tank lorry (TLS) fleet as part of its logistics management system to transport POL products across the country using approximately 8000 vehicles. The newly introduced tank lorries are designed to ensure the security of the public and the road infrastructure.
MD & CEO PSO, Sheikh Imranul Haque, said at the inauguration ceremony:“Every year PSO moves over 12000 million tons petroleum products using the country’s largest infrastructure network consisting of road, rail and pipelines. The transportation of POL products is heavily dependent on roads. Such reliance on road transportation requires a highly safe tank lorry that not only meets regulatory requirements, but also ensures integrity of the product, the public and the road infrastructure.”
“Furthermore, in view of CPEC project and new opportunities of business, our business partners have to invest in this fleet. Tank lorry not compliant with the latest standards, will not be allowed to cross the border in future. Today’s investment will indeed open more business opportunities for them."
“In FY-2017, PSO has introduced a plan to upgrade the tank lorry fleet and today’s inauguration of the first vehicle of PSO’s modern fleet is a major milestone in this regard. I would like to commend team PSO and our partners who have put an enormous effort in developing this vehicle, which will set new standards in the industry. ”
