ISLAMABAD: Saudi company Wafi Energy Pakistan Limited announced on Wednesday that it has inked an agreement with Hyundai’s official manufacturing partner to supply premium lubricants for the company’s vehicles in Pakistan.

The SPL has a network of over 600 sites, countrywide storage facilities and a broad portfolio of global lubricant brands.
Hyundai Nishat Motors is a joint venture among three leading international businesses: The Nishat Group, the Japan-based Sojitz Corporation and Millat Tractors Ltd. Hyundai Nishat Motors manufactures, markets and distributes Hyundai’s product line in Pakistan.
“Wafi Energy Pakistan Limited and Hyundai Nishat Motors have signed a strategic agreement for the supply of Shell lubricants for Hyundai vehicles in Pakistan,” the Saudi company said in a press release.
The contract signing ceremony in Lahore marked the launch of Shell Helix HX8 0W-20 AH, the company said.
Wafi Energy Pakistan said the lubricant is specifically designed in line with Hyundai’s technical specifications. It delivers comprehensive engine protection, enhanced fuel efficiency and optimized performance suited to local driving conditions across Pakistan, the statement said.

“Through this collaboration, customers can confidently rely on authentic, OEM-approved lubricants that meet the highest standards of performance and reliability.”
Wafi Energy has two retail stations in Pakistan’s Karachi and Rawalpindi cities. It has also built a 730-foot plastic road outside its Karachi head office using 2.5 tons of waste lubricant bottles.
