LAUGFS Car Care, a sub-division of LAUGFS Lubricants, recently announced the launch of a state-of-the-art Hybrid Centre at Koswatta, Battaramulla, to cater to the diverse vehicle needs of Hybrid and Electric motor vehicle owners.
“We are extremely pleased to announce the opening of our new Hybrid Center, the latest addition to our network of service centres, which will be uniquely equipped to cater to the many requirements of hybrid and electric vehicle owners,” remarked LAUGFS Lubricants Director/CEO, Dr. Gamini Amarasekara, commenting at the launch ceremony. “As a Sri Lankan conglomerate, LAUGFS has always operated with a strong focus on integrating and supporting sustainable and eco-friendly solutions across its businesses. This is reflected from our very first operations in Autogas conversion for motor vehicles, as a more eco-friendly alternative for conventional fuels, to our present day businesses such as Eco Sri, which carries out vehicle emission testing that is critical for air quality management. These ventures are backed by a strong focus on innovation and technology. Our latest Hybrid Centre is one of the many outcomes of this commitment, where we have extended our service portfolio to support the growing number of new generation hybrid and electric motor vehicles, which we believe will help pave the way for a greener and cleaner future,” he added.
