'We are taking this step to greatly increase the number of heavy goods customers at our star petrol stations and as a means of offering E100 fuel card holders the very best service on their way to and through Germany,' explains Piotr Guział, Chief Development Officer at ORLEN Deutschland and its star petrol station brand. 'The E100 fuel card is one of the most important fuel cards for the domestic and international transport industry, particularly in Eastern Europe. By cooperating with E100, we are strengthening our position among heavy goods customers in the German petrol station market, while also increasing the popularity of our parent company, the Polish mineral oil and energy group, PKN ORLEN.'
Professional service and cashless payments aimed at logistics and transport companies is of particular importance for their cooperation. Using the E100 fuel card, these companies are not only able to pay for fuel, parking, and TIR services; but also gain access to 132,000 kilometres of toll roads reaching from Portugal to the Far East due to their system of electronic payments for toll roads.
