OMV Petrom, the largest integrated energy producer in Southeastern Europe, expands its network of service stations by opening two new locations on the A1 Orăștie - Sibiu Highway. They will operate under the OMV brand and are open to customers starting today. The stations are strategically located at kilometre 288 + 810, Miercurea Sibiului, to serve the heavy traffic in this area.

Daniel Ion, Member of the OMV Petrom Marketing S.R.L. Executive Board responsible for Retail: "The expansion of the network of stations on the A1 Orăștie - Sibiu highway underlines our commitment to offer complete mobility solutions to our customers and to continuously improve their experience in our stations. In the age of increased mobility, service stations play a key role in making traveling a more enjoyable and comfortable experience."

The new stations will offer a wide range of products and services, from standard fuels, OMV MaxxMotion performance fuels to electro-mobility solutions. Both stations accommodate ultra-fast charging points through the strongest electro-mobility hub in Romania, both for cars and trucks – in total, the two stations have 34 charging points. Extensive shop spaces, bill and toll payment services will also be available, as well as restaurants with the VIVA concept, which will offer hot meals, sandwiches, salads, and desserts, prepared daily by the station's chefs. They are equipped with photovoltaic panel systems that can cover up to 10% of the station's daily electricity consumption, as well as facilities to reuse captured rainwater.

The stations and related facilities were built under a concession contract concluded between OMV Petrom Marketing SRL and the National Road Infrastructure Management Company.

OMV Petrom operates a network of ~780 filling stations under the Petrom and OMV brands across Romania, Moldova, Bulgaria, and Serbia. The company has developed a network of around 800 charging points for electric vehicles. In line with its Strategy 2030, OMV Petrom is ambitiously expanding its electric vehicle charging infrastructure, aiming to install over 5,000 charging points by 2030, making it the largest provider of e-mobility services in Romania. This initiative underscores the company’s commitment to supporting the transition to a lower-carbon future.
