BHPetrol Launches New Petrol Station In Bandar Baru Salak Tinggi

BHPetrol has expanded its network of nationwide stations with the launch of its newest petrol station in Bandar Baru Salak Tinggi.

With over 400 stations covering Peninsular Malaysia, the latest station makes refuelling easier for those plying the Nilai to KLIA main stretch.

Situated on the main road that connects Nilai and KLIA, the new station offers BHPetrol’s complete range of fuels that includes RON95, RON97 as well as Euro5 B7 and B10 diesel.

The station offers six pumps making it easier to accommodate more cars.

Besides petrol, each pump also offers diesel, so there’s no unnecessary waiting around for diesel vehicles. This is especially great considering the stretch of road is popular with commercial vehicles.

The station also offers a fully stocked BHPetroMart for those who need to buy drinks or snacks. And there’s plenty of parking lots for anyone wishing to fulfil their prayers.

The launch ceremony took place yesterday and it included a Raya Open House for those living nearby the station together with live performances. Malaysian celebrity Alif Satar also made an appearance together with a number of VIP’s as well as members of the Malaysian military force.

New Ford Ranger Wildtrak: King of Pick-Up Trucks, Again!

The Malaysian pick-up truck segment enjoys a cult-like following with fiercely loyal fans who will not accept any discussion about any other truck being better than theirs.

Fans of the Hilux will swear that the Toyota is God’s gift to mankind while the fans of the D-Max, Navara and Triton are probably ready to bear arms to defend their choice.

But in the midst of it all, the Ford Ranger Wildtrak is the silent King. Elegant, poised and well equipped for just about anything the world has to throw at it, the Ranger Wildtrak is perhaps the one truck that could comfortably hold a wheel to any other brand because it has about all of the features that one could ever need.

Mercedes-Benz Delays 2025 Electrification Goals

Mercedes-Benz has delayed a short-term objective on its path to becoming a full fledged electric vehicle producer. It specifically refers to the goal established almost two years ago that by 2025, sales of electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles should make up 50% of all vehicle sales.

By the middle of the decade, the manufacturer hopes to continue achieving this interim objective; however, according to Mercedes CEO Ola Källenius at the group’s annual general meeting on Wednesday, “the middle of the decade means 2026.” Mercedes-Benz is delaying the milestone by at least a year as a result.

BMW XM More Powerful Than Advertised

The BMW XM is what we would call a somewhat divisive product because it is both the heaviest and most powerful BMW production model in history.

Despite its size and weight, one must respect the level of performance that this enormous SUV offers. The numbers published by the automaker may really be underestimated, as evidenced by a recent test run on the dynamometer. This is something BMW has a reputation for in recent years.

10 Year Malaysian Driving License Starts From May 8th

Wouldn’t we all love it if our licence renewal was every ten years instead of the current five years? Well, now you can. The general public can begin applying for 10-year licences on Monday (May 8^th) at JPJ offices and counters, according to a statement made by transport minister Loke Siew Fook earlier this week.

Anyone who intended to renew their licences was eligible as long as they were fit to drive. The one rule is that once you are over 70, you will need a doctor’s note that testifies to your driving proficiency.
