N’Djamena — Star Oil Tchad and Zone Auto have sealed a landmark collaboration aimed at strengthening the availability and authenticity of TotalEnergies lubricants across Chad. The agreement, formalized during a ceremony on August 8, 2026, also marked the grand opening of a new retail hub for lubricants, tires, and related automotive supplies in the heart of N’Djamena.

In a market where counterfeit oils and substandard lubricants are a persistent issue, customers deserve access to verified, traceable products. »

Under this agreement, Zone Auto becomes an authorized distributor of TotalEnergies lubricants in Chad. This certification comes with a clear mandate: to ensure that every vehicle owner—from everyday drivers to commercial fleets—can source authentic lubricants that protect engines and extend vehicle lifespan. « This partnership is more than a business deal, » Alfattah noted. « It’s a promise to our customers: quality, trust, and peace of mind. »

Star Oil Tchad reaffirms its leadership in lubricant distribution
