Vivo Energy Mozambique expands its strategic partnership with Camel Oil

According to João Oliveira e Sousa, Managing Director of Vivo Energy Mozambique, the company’s partnership with Camel Oil goes beyond simply expanding Vivo’s network. 

Commitment to be closer to customers 

“It is part of our commitment to be ever closer to our customers, offering excellent services, and contributing to the socio-economic development of the communities where we operate.  

“The new Engen N1station not only supplies fuel, but also has a car wash, an oil change centre and a convenience store fully equipped to meet our customers’ daily needs. It contributes to boosting local trade and strengthening the region’s economy.” 

Oliveira e Sousa added that, of the 12 filling stations involved in this partnership, five are already in operation, three are under construction or in refurbishment until the end of 2024, and the remaining four should be operational in early 2025.
