Romanian oil and gas company, OMV Petrom, is adding 400-kilowatt (kW) high-power charging points for electric trucks to its network. Among these, the company now operates Romania’s largest electric charging hub, located at Miercurea Sibiului on the A1 motorway. It features a total of 34 fast-charging points, 17 in each direction, including 16 for electric cars and 18 for electric trucks. The passenger car chargers provide up to 300 kW, allowing a typical electric vehicle to charge fully in just 15 to 20 minutes, https://ceenergynews.com/ informs. The truck chargers offer a capacity of 400 kW and can fully charge an electric truck in 1.5 to 2 hours. The total installed charging power is 10 megawatts (MW), 5 MW per direction. “Our 2030 strategy includes the development of the largest EV charging network in Romania, as part of our commitment to support the decarbonisation of transportation,” said Radu C?pr?u, OMV Petrom Executive Board Member responsible for Refining and Marketing. “The A1 highway is one of Romania’s main commercial routes and part of the pan-European TEN-T corridor.” “With the hub at Miercurea Sibiului, we are offering transporters and drivers more than just a place to refuel, whether with conventional fuels or electricity,” said Adrian Nicolaescu, responsible for Retail Activities at OMV Petrom Marketing. “We are creating a space designed for comfort and convenience, where they can take a break, enjoy a coffee or snack, and shop. Our goal is to differentiate ourselves through the quality of our products and services, supported by the modern infrastructure we provide to our customers.” The stations and related facilities were developed under a concession agreement between OMV Petrom Marketing and the National Road Infrastructure Administration Company (CNAIR). OMV Petrom operates a network of around 780 filling stations under the Petrom and OMV brands in Romania, Moldova, Bulgaria and Serbia. The company has built a regional network of approximately 1,000 electric charging points and is targeting over 5,000 by 2030.
