The Domestic Trade and Cost of Living Ministry (KPDN) and Petronas Dagangan Berhad (PDB) have initiated a trial project to introduce RON97 fuel at the Kimanis Petronas Station. <span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;"> <span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;"> This collaboration addresses concerns about <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.carz.com.my/2024/12/no-hidden-tax-applied-to-ron97-diesel-pricing" target="_blank" style="">the limited availability of RON97 along Sabah's Southwest Coast</a>, especially voiced by Bruneian land travelers.
KPDN Minister Datuk Armizan Mohd Ali explained that the trial phase will utilize a 5,000-litre Mini Portable Container System (PCS) before a broader rollout. <span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">This approach aims to assess the storage system's efficiency and sales performance to satisfy consumer needs while minimizing potential financial losses in case of lower-than-expected sales.
