On Saturday, 1 July 2017, bp is opening its second service station, bp Windmills, along the popular Johannesburg to Durban N3 route.
The opening coincides with what is regarded as one of the year’s busiest weekends along the N3 highway, as all roads lead to Durban for the annual Durban July horserace. Conveniently located between the Highveld and the coast, the new bp site is the perfect stop to refuel and refresh before the last stretch to join the A-listers in Durban for a fun-filled weekend of music, fashion, fast cars… and, of course, horses!
Checking the state of your vehicle before embarking on any road trip is essential. Before you set off, ensure that your tyres are adequately inflated to avoid increased fuel consumption. Always adhere to the speed limit en route, and remember that unnecessary acceleration is another fuel guzzler. And, don’t find yourself driving on an almost empty tank – refuel with bp Ultimate with Active Technology at bp Windmills and travel with peace of mind to your final destination.
bp wishes you a safe trip!
Notes to editors
In 2014 bp South Africa (bpSA) sold 25% + 1 share to two BEE partners, namely KAPELA and the bpSA Education Foundation, a Broad Based Black Economic Empowerment Trust.
Kapela acquired a 20% +1 share and the bpSA Education Foundation acquired 5% of bpSA’s shares. The Foundation started operating in 2015, and contributes to meaningful and sustainable ways to enhance the standard of living and improve the well-being of previously disadvantaged, specifically black women and people with disabilities, through education and skills development.
