FUCHS LUBRICANTS launches a solidarity initiative aimed at those on the front lines fighting COVID-19
The current health crisis is highlighting more than ever the value of the work of many professionals who are essential to society as a whole. This is the case of healthcare workers and other related groups who, working on the front lines, make medical care possible for those affected by this pandemic. Therefore, FUCHS wants to help them continue their work by taking care of their personal means of transportation. The solidarity initiative that the German company is launching in our country makes it possible for all these professionals to access free engine oil for their vehicle, car, or motorcycle, should they need to change it during this period.
Spanish society and its business community are demonstrating their tremendous capacity to help tackle these problems together. In this regard, FUCHS LUBRICANTES SAU, the Spanish subsidiary of the FUCHS Group, a German multinational company specializing in automotive and industrial lubricants, wanted to join the various initiatives carried out with this action. According to Ester Madrid, Product Manager of the company’s Automotive Division in Spain: “At FUCHS, we don’t have the resources to manufacture masks or other PPE that is so necessary for healthcare workers at this time, but we want to do our part by offering what we do best: our lubricants. It’s our way of expressing our recognition and gratitude for the extraordinary efforts they make every day and expressing our admiration for their strength. We want to send a direct message of support and encouragement to all healthcare workers during these difficult times.”
The initiative, which will extend throughout the State of Emergency, or until the stock allocated for this initiative runs out, is aimed solely at private cars and motorcycles, and those owned by said personnel. It does not include company-owned or rented vehicles, or vehicles belonging to official organizations. The beneficiaries are all people who work in pharmacies, hospitals, nursing homes, nursing homes, day care centers, and rehabilitation centers, who will be guaranteed free engine oil if their vehicle needs it (in accordance with the recommendations in the maintenance book and the warranty or applicable to the vehicle at that time). This group includes not only healthcare personnel but also service workers (cleaning, cooking, and other related personnel). To this end, the company has a network of distributors and all its workshops that have been fully committed to the initiative from the outset, making it possible to extend it nationwide.
How can I process my engine oil application?
Taking advantage of this initiative is as simple as contacting FUCHS by email or phone (Contact: Encarna Correa | Tel. +34 937 730 218 | Email: automocion.es@fuchs.com) and sending your contact information, professional status, and vehicle information. They will direct you to the workshop closest to your home or workplace. You can also request a visit to your local workshop, providing their complete details.
The most suitable engine oil for each vehicle will be offered, following the manufacturer’s recommendations. The suitability of the oil used can be verified using the FUCHS online engine lubricant selector available on their website.
At the time of the change, applicants must present their professional license or other documentation proving their professional status, as well as documentation confirming vehicle ownership.
