Octan
Octan is a fictional oil company that has appeared in multiple Lego sets since 1992. [1] Before that time, logos of the real-world oil companies Esso, Shell and Exxon were used on sets. The Shell logo continued to be used on promotional sets after that time. In 2014, Lego announced it would not renew its marketing agreement with Shell, under pressure from the environmental group Greenpeace.[2]
Octan is the French word for octane, the chemical compound that gives gasoline its resistance to detonation.
Octan has appeared in a number of Lego video games. Lego Island for example features an Octan gas-station and the company sponsors the race track.
In The Lego Movie, Octan is the base company of Lord Business.
In the LEGO set 7747 Wind Turbine Transport, the Octan logo had a new part in it which said Energy, which implies that it now produces renewable energy, not just oil products. Then, in the set 60016 Tanker Truck, the Energy part of it is larger suggesting that Octan is now going green.
