Construction permits have been issued for two other service stations on the A1 Lugoj – Deva highway and work will start in December.
The eight MOL stations for which the company has obtained the construction permit will be located on lot 7 – Ilia commune, Hunedoara County, lot 9 – Vintu de Jos, Pianu commune, Alba County, lot 10 – Calnic commune, Alba County, lot 13 – Murfatlar, Constanta County. Preparations for the construction works have already started on the Ilia, Vintu de Jos and Murfatlar lots, and in Calnic they will start in December.
MOL estimates an approximate investment of EUR2 million for each of the stations to be built, with a total project budget of around EUR28 million. The estimated opening date is the second half of 2022.
“MOL Romania has a history of more than 25 years on the market, during which time it has become an important player in the local economy, with a network of 245 service stations. MOL is currently in the process of transforming from a fuel retailer into a complex service provider,” said Camelia Ene, CEO & Country Chairman MOL Romania.
“In this respect, the stations we will build under the agreement with CNAIR will reflect our objectives in terms of diversifying our portfolio for customers. We are talking about state-of-the-art service areas, places where drivers can stop not only to refuel their cars, but also to rest, eat or relax.”
The newly built stations will include fast truck pumps, charging points for electric vehicles, Fresh Corner restaurants, special areas for truck drivers and caravan users.
