“MOL Romania’s total fuel sales (including LPG and lubricants) increased 7% in 2013, from 469,000 tons to 503,000 tons, driven by the expansion of our gas station network,” company general manager Kinga Daradics said Tuesday at the ZF Power Summit.
Diesel fuel sales were the highest, at 365,000 tons, up 8% on the year, while gas sales stood at 133,000 tons, up 6% on the year.
In the fourth quarter of 2013, MOL Romania’s retail sales increased 7% compared to the same quarter the year before, to 130,000 tons.
MOL Romania has 147 gas stations across the country will likely exceed 150 units this year, Daradics added.
“‘We’re aiming for a market share of 15% by 2015. We’ll have more than 150 gas stations by the end of the year. We have invested more than our profit over the past two-three years and we believe we will continue to do so,” said Daradics.
On a group level, MOL’s retail sales increased 3% last year, to 3.4 million tons.
