“We have opened 16 filing stations during the coronavirus pandemic and we plan to continue our development on the retail segment in Romania. We shall keep the same sustained growth pace”, said Ene.

According to Ene, the fuel demand revived on a regional level in 2021 as authorities lifted travel bans.

On a regional level, Hungary’s MOL Grup acquired some 600 stations in 2021 alone, in Central and Eastern Europe. Currently, the group has some 2,400 filling stations.

Mol Romania has three large development directions: digitalization, the development of the current business segments and the diversification of products and services in the company’s portfolio. The consumer services segment has a major role in the energy transition.
