NAIROBI, Kenya, June 13 – TotalEnergies Marketing Kenya has launched its first service station in Embu town in a bid to grow its market in the Central Kenya region.
The new station brings the total number of service stations in the country to 237.
Speaking during the launch, TotalEnergies Kenya Finance Director Lawrencia Gichatha said the entry into the region was in response to increased customer demand.
The company is eyeing the growing segment of private and public sector institutions and public transport, driven by devolution and the vibrant economic activity in Embu and adjacent counties.
“We have been travelling long distances to access TotalEnergies products for our clients, but now that has come to an end. This will help us improve our service to clients and while cutting costs,” said Gitonga Muturi, the firm’s customer.
The new service station is equipped with solar panels as part of the company’s sustainability strategy, which includes the distribution of solar power products through its nationwide network.
“We now have about 146 of our service stations fully solarized and will continue to implement the same across the country”, noted Ms. Gichatha.
TotalEnergies is also focused on the renewable energy market with its solar energy products.
Since last year, it has launched charging points for electric motorcycles in partnership with electric motorcycle manufacturers Ampersand and Roam as part of its strategic focus on electric-powered vehicles.
