Kuala Lumpur, June 16 - Esso Malaysia Berhad (EMB) and ExxonMobil Malaysia Sdn Bhd (EMMSB) have introduced a new Diesel Discount Card for customers who are eligible for diesel purchases at service stations under the Government's subsidised diesel control scheme.

The Diesel Discount Card which was rolled out on June 1, will allow eligible customers to enjoy instant subsidy on their diesel purchases at Esso and Mobil service stations at 15 sen/litre lower than the set pump price.  Valid at Esso and Mobil service stations nationwide, the Card is offered free of charge to individuals or owners of commercial vehicles, whose subsidy entitlement has been approved by the MDTCA.

Application forms are available at any Esso or Mobil service station. No financial or bank statements are required for application.

EMB Retail Business Director Faridah Ali said the new card is part of the company's ongoing commitment to give motorists better value and convenience.

"ExxonMobil has introduced the Diesel Discount Card to help our eligible diesel customers better manage their diesel expenses.  This Card allows customers to enjoy their subsidy instantly as they pay only the subsidised price when purchasing diesel at Esso or Mobil stations.  Unlike other cards, no prepayment is required so they do not need to tie-up cash," explained Faridah.

Other features of the Card also include a security PIN which prevents unauthorized use of the card and the benefits of the Smiles Drivers Rewards Programmeas Smiles Points can be earned for their diesel purchases.

Customers who hold Esso and Mobil's Rebate FleetCard introduced earlier in the year which enabled them to receive their subsidies on a weekly basis, will automatically enjoy the same features as the Diesel Discount Card.
