Ampol returns to Australian service stations as Caltex exits

Australian-founded fuel brand Ampol has officially returned to service stations after almost 25 years out of action after opening its first two Ampol-branded stores in the towns of Concord and Granville in New South Wales. The locations, opened on August 21, mark the beginning of a two-year transition which will see Ampol replace the Caltex brand on local service stations. The move comes after US oil company Chevron terminated the licensing agreement allowing the use of the Caltex name.
