JAKARTA - PT Pertamina (Persero) guarantees energy availability during the Pertamina Grand Prix of Indonesia MotoGP event, in Mandalika, Lombok, West Nusa Tenggara (NTB). One of them is by establishing a Modular General Fuel Filling Station (SPBU) at the Pertamina Mandalika International Circuit (PMIC).

Pertamina Patra Niaga President Director Riva Siahaan said the decision to open a Modular gas station was a form of support for energy availability for Dorna Sport activities, as the main organizer of MotoGP.

Pertamina is always present to be able to maintain energy supply to the community. At the Pertamina Grand Prix of Indonesia event, Pertamina also met Dorna Sports' energy needs as the owner and holder of the MotoGP brand," he said in an official statement, Sunday, October 15.

Modular gas stations provide Pertamax Turbo fuel which has the highest octane value of RON98, with excess Ecosave and Ignition Booth Formula (IBF) technologies. This formula makes Pertamax Turbo the perfect combustion process, making it suitable for high-tech machines.

Pertamax Turbo juga meningkatkan performa mesin kendaraan menjadi lebih responsif, sekaligus menjaga kebersihan mesin.

Modular gas stations at the Pertamina Grand Prix of Indonesia manage Pertamax Turbo filling for participant operational vehicles, safety cars, marshall and medical rescue. Pertamina prepared 4,000 liters of fuel during the event.

Meanwhile, Modular Lalu Safrino, operator of the gas station, added that this Modular gas station was built a week before the event took place. Gas stations have started operating since October 12.

"On this circuit, there is only 1 Modular gas station located near the paddock. We specialize this gas station for the operating vehicle of the Dorna team. Because the vehicles provided with access to this are limited. Only Pertamax Turbo is available and payments are made with BBK vouchers from Pertamina Retail," said Lalu.

Pertamina's Vice President of Corporate Communication Fadjar Djoko Santoso added that Pertamina fully supports the Pertamina Grand Prix of Indonesia 2023 event.

To make this second year's event a success, Pertamina has prepared better infrastructure and facilities so that it can meet the needs of Dorna Sports and the community.

This year is Pertamina's second year in the Pertamina Grand Prix of Indonesia 2023. A more complete supporting infrastructure is expected to perfect this event," he said.

For your information, Pertamina as a leading company in the field of energy transition, is committed to supporting the Net Zero Emission 2060 target by continuing to encourage programs that have a direct impact on the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

All these efforts are in line with the implementation of Environmental, Social & Governance (ESG) in all business lines and operations of Pertamina.
