Carmart and Energy Core Lanka have signed an agreement to supply TotalEnergies lubricants to Carmart’s Peugeot service network in Sri Lanka and train its technicians. The companies signed the marketing and technical support agreement on 27 October 2026.
The arrangement brings the Peugeot and TotalEnergies lubricants partnership, which the companies say spans more than 30 years globally, to Carmart’s local service operations. Carmart is Peugeot’s authorised distributor in Sri Lanka, while Energy Core Lanka distributes TotalEnergies lubricants in the country. The agreement also provides for joint campaigns for Peugeot customers.
Energy Core Lanka said it would supply lubricants including Quartz Ineo 5W-30, sourced from France. The companies said the product meets Peugeot specifications. Dimitri Sheriff, managing director of Energy Core Lanka, said the agreement also covers technical support for Carmart’s service teams and customer education.
Carmart plans to run a Peugeot service and vehicle health check campaign from 16 November to 18 December 2026 at 424 Union Place, Colombo 2. The company said it would offer fixed-price service packages using TotalEnergies lubricants. Carmart chief executive Yasendra Amerasinghe said the company had begun using the brand’s oils in its Peugeot servicing and was working with its partners to reduce ownership costs.
The companies said Peugeot recommends TotalEnergies lubricants globally and that engineers from both businesses work together on lubricants during engine and transmission development. The global partnership also extends to motorsport, where TotalEnergies works with Peugeot Sport on its hybrid Hypercar programme in the FIA World Endurance Championship, which includes the 24 Hours of Le Mans.
