“We are delighted with this partnership with Temot. By becoming a fully referenced supplier, Total is covering an even wider area, moving closer to distributors and becoming a local partner,” said Thierry Gourault, managing director for automotive Total Lubricants.”The logistics implemented by Temot enables the automotive accessories industry to display growth that will benefit Total by targeting distributors, including the smallest ones”.

In addition to gaining access to independent garages and covering new geographical areas, this partnership enables Total to offer its product ranges to the automotive and heavy-duty vehicle markets.

“By partnering with major distributors, Total is cementing its position as a premium supplier of engine lubricants by providing our entire product range,” Gourault added.
