Shell Oman to introduce smart service stations
Having acquired exclusive GCC rights for this novel concept, Amlaak will collaborate with Oman Shell in setting smart service stations in the country.
Shell Oman and Amlaak will launch unique smart service stations in the Sultanate. This makes Shell Oman the first fuel marketing company in Oman to plan and implement these state-of-the-art modular service stations, according to Shell.
This solution looks to accelerate this transformation and promote intelligent sustainable development practices in the fuel marketing sector in Oman. The prefabricated service stations are easy to set up, economical and look to meet the demands of the market.
“Urban populations and cities are growing, so it is vital to make the right choices for a sustainable future. In addition, digital technology has transformed customer expectations around the convenience of retailing, speed, and a seamless experience. Working closely with different stakeholders such as the government, the private sector, and local communities, we aim to help move people and goods with lower emissions,” said Dr. Mohammed Al Balushi, CEO of Shell Oman.
Having acquired exclusive GCC rights for this novel concept, Amlaak will collaborate with Oman Shell in setting smart service stations in the country. Amlaak is one of the leading SME firms in the field of commercial fuel distribution, transportation of fuel and lubricants.
“These new service stations adopt a modern design and are developed with sustainability, safety, and special efficiency in mind; standing at 1,000 m2 compared to the 3,000 m2 regular service stations. In terms of power usage, the new smart service stations consume 63% less power, utilize solar power to consume 43% less electricity, and are equipped with a device to recycle fuel vapor on its first and second stages. Our goal here is efficiency and sustainability; hence we designed the new stations to be 89% mobile, and cost 42% less than the standard service station,” said Aarif Al Jaffari, Managing Director of Amlaak.
This partnership reflects Oman Shell’s commitment to adapting to the changing customer needs in an example of the steps it is taking to play its role in providing more and cleaner energy solutions.
