Petron Powers the 2025 DOE Fuel EcoRun
OFFICIAL RELEASE: Petron Corporation | PUBLISHER: ADVAI
Petron Corporation, the country’s largest oil refining and marketing company, once again takes center stage as the official fuel partner of the 2025 DOE-Petron Fuel EcoRun, happening on 24 September 2025 at a designated stretch of the Tarlac-Pangasinan-La Union Expressway (TPLEX).
The EcoRun, spearheaded by the Department of Energy (DOE), will feature close to 70 participating vehicles, including internal combustion engine (ICE), hybrid (HEV), plug-in hybrid (PHEV), and battery electric vehicles (BEV), highlighting their fuel economy performance under real-world driving conditions.
All ICE-powered and hybrid participants will be fueled by Petron XCS and Petron Turbo Diesel, Petron’s benchmark fuels that combine advanced formulation and proven performance:
- Petron XCS (95-octane premium gasoline): Powered by Tri-Activ Technology, it maximizes power and mileage while protecting engines. Its superior detergent additives prevent harmful deposits in intake valves and injectors, ensuring cleaner combustion and better fuel economy.
- Petron Turbo Diesel: Engineered with an advanced additive system, it delivers stronger pulling power, restores lost performance, protects sensitive CRDi components, and reduces harmful emissions.
“By powering this EcoRun with our best-in-class fuels, we demonstrate that efficiency begins at the pump,” said Mr. Lubin B. Nepomuceno, General Manager of Petron Corporation. “Petron XCS and Petron Turbo Diesel are trusted by millions of Filipino motorists every day because they deliver real performance and real savings.”
The 2025 DOE–Petron Fuel EcoRun will flag off from Petron TPLEX Northbound, turn around at the Rosario, La Union rotunda, and finish at Petron TPLEX Southbound, completing a distance of approximately 156-kilometers.
The 2025 DOE–Petron Fuel EcoRun is not a competition but a demonstration of how different vehicle technologies—from internal combustion to hybrids and electric—perform under actual expressway driving conditions. By providing the official fuels, Petron ensures that all ICE- powered and hybrid vehicles are tested with the same high-quality benchmark fuels, guaranteeing fairness and credibility in results.
Beyond fuels, Petron is also enabling cleaner transport by offering EV charging facilities at its TPLEX stations, underscoring its commitment to a future-ready, diversified energy portfolio that supports both traditional and alternative fuels.
The 2025 DOE–Petron Fuel EcoRun builds on a legacy that began with earlier DOE EcoRuns in 2016 and 2017, where Petron was also the official fuel partner. These pioneering runs raised public awareness about fuel-efficient driving, generated critical performance data, and set the stage for industry-wide improvements in vehicle efficiency.
“Petron is proud to have been DOE’s partner in past EcoRuns and continues to champion this advocacy,” added Mr. Nepomuceno. “By promoting energy efficiency, we are not only helping motorists save on fuel costs but also contributing to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and building a more sustainable transport sector.”
Petron Corporation is the largest oil refining and marketing company in the Philippines, capable of supplying about 40% of the country’s total fuel requirements. With a nationwide network of service stations, Petron provides premium fuels, lubricants, and services trusted by millions of Filipino motorists. Guided by its “Tapat Sa’yo” campaign, Petron continues to embody its promise of being a reliable and responsible partner for every Filipino journey—delivering quality products, pioneering innovations, and investing in sustainability to help build a future-ready energy landscape for the Philippines.
