Firm revs up with RAC patrol fleet deal

LIVERPOOL-based engine care specialist Cataclean has finalised a major agreement which will see one of its flagship products carried by the RAC’s entire fleet of UK patrol vehicles.

The firm had supplied Cataclean Diesel to 40 RAC patrol vehicles via distribution partner Euro Car Parts. Following this successful trial the RAC have now commissioned Cataclean Diesel across the entire UK patrol fleet of 1,400 vehicles.

Cataclean’s director of sales William Jones said the product was selected following a rise in the number of RAC call-outs to vehicles with clogged diesel particulate filters (DPFs).

“The RAC receives regular roadside call-outs from drivers who have noticed dashboard warning lights flick on after DPFs have clogged,” he said.

“Roadside technicians can usually clear the blockage via a manual regeneration. However, Cataclean can reduce the harmful build-up even further – extending the period before which another regeneration is required.

“Essentially, the product will enhance the work that RAC technicians carry out at the roadside, while motorists will notice a direct benefit in their vehicle performance and enjoy greater peace of mind. It’s a win-win situation.”

Cataclean Diesel is designed to meet the demands of modern diesel engines. It can lower harmful particulate emissions and reduces the risk of DPF clogging – protecting and extending the lives of a vehicle’s DPF and catalytic converter.

Cataclean’s corporate development director Graham Fraser said the product has been made in the UK and can be safely used for all diesel, petrol and hybrid engines for cars, vans and motorbikes.
