Viva Energy has announced a fuel-supply agreement with V/Line, Victoria’s regional passenger train and coach service operator.
The agreement will see Viva supply V/Line with Shell Diesel Extra into key locations including Southern Cross, Geelong, Footscray, Wyndham Vale, Waurn Ponds, Ballarat, Bendigo, and Shepparton, as well as small-drop deliveries into key regional stations, including Traralgon.
Scott Wyatt, CEO of Viva Energy, said he is delighted that Viva is now a supply partner for V/Line.
“V/Line provides an essential service and Viva Energy is thrilled to contribute to keeping regional Victorians on the move.
“As a frequent train traveller myself, I regularly rely on the V/Line service to commute to our refinery in Geelong and appreciate its importance. It is gratifying to know that Viva Energy is now playing a vital role in supporting V/Line to connect regional Victorians.”
V’Line, which facilitated over 21 million passenger trips in 2023 on its train and coach services, with five commuter lines and eight long-distance routes across the state, is one of Australia’s fastest growing rail networks.
Viva is delivering fuel either manufactured by, or imported through, its Geelong Refinery supporting communities, local content, and regional jobs.
