Shell company to open its first gas station this year in Mexico
“The Anglo-Dutch Shell will open its first service stations in Mexico this year with the goal of being one of the three most important players in the sector, and not rule out in the future participation in development Of infrastructure.”
“Downstream director of the company, Andrés Cavallari, said in an interview with Notimex that the country was always in its aspiration, but there was an inability to operate, but almost a year and a half ago they started working on it.”
“”Mexico is a very important market in the gasoline business, it is the fifth largest consumer in the world and it is a market that grows year after year and it will continue in the coming decades,” he said.”
“According to the manager, they expect to open stations this year, in the downtown area, with the aim of having a relevant presence in the Mexican market under the scheme of own stations and franchises.”
“He stressed that they are a company that “is always on the podium”, so they will seek to be a relevant player with a long-term view, to be the “top three” among players, as in other parts of the world.”
“Regarding the origin of the molecule that they will sell in their stations, he explained that in the beginning they will buy it from Pemex and add an additive to offer their product V-Power.”
“”In the short term, the plan is to buy fuel in the local market and add additives, since the gasolines of the country are very good, because the Mexican Standard is very strict,” said Cavallari.”
“The manager of Shell Mexico commented that they will participate in the open seasons to have capacity of transport in the infrastructure.”
“”In the medium term, when we have access to part of the existing infrastructure in the open seasons or in the future we will participate in infrastructure development, which is what the country needs at this moment, we will be able to bring our own molecule,” he stressed.”
“He added that one of their offers is to provide the best experience, with the best quality gasoline and point of sale service, fast transactions, and consumer loyalty programs.”
