Special NACS Supplement
As the annual NACS Show takes place in Chicago, PETROLWORLD publishes a special supplement including an insight at NACS' 50-year history, a personal look at the organisation from Editor David Egan, and updates on the exciting products on show at the event.
Company Focus: Essar Oil
As India moves decisively to remove fuel price controls, one particular company has benefited greatly. Private operator Essar Oil is once again expanding its fuel retail network, investing in improving its refining capacity, and gaining international attention as an industry heavyweight. It’s also entering a new era with acquisitions in Britain and Kenya, and an ambitious optimisation plan at its flagship Vadinar refinery. PETROLWORLD’s report offers insight into how a national leader is moving onto the global stage.
The Decisive Deal
7-Eleven’s takeover of Mobil Oil Australia’s retail network made waves in the convenience store world, and made it the third-largest privately owned business in the country. PETROLWORLD reports on how 7-Eleven swooped in for a major acquisition, and how the network has been transformed by the deal. Our report features an exclusive insight into the thinking behind the deal, how it happened so quickly, and how the company is rebranding the network at remarkable speed.
Inventory Routing: A way forward
Can new technology bridge the gap between planning and execution in distribution and inventory management in the downstream fuel retail sector? Leading software provider ORTEC believes it can, and recently hosted an informative webinar on smart inventory management presented by Janneke Meesters. Our report explains how Vendor-Managed Inventory (VMI) can save hassle and money for both suppliers and end-users, and how a VMI system can be implemented in practice.
FLEETCOR: Taking on the World
The story of FleetCor is a remarkable one, especially in today’s volatile business environment. From a beginning just 11 years ago, the company has grown to become the largest fuel card company in the world. Central to the company’s meteoric growth and business development strategy has been an aggressive acquisition policy. Paul Holland, Executive VP of Corporate Development at FleetCor Europe, spoke to Petrolworld about the company’s model of growth and how business continues on an upward curve.
Fuels of the future
As governments and other key players in the alternative fuels sector the world over scramble for position to lead the way in the development of the industry, the debate about the viability of different fuels rages on. The need to introduce global quality standards in the production of biofuels is becoming ever more apparent, as Liisa Kiuru-Giffith, an executive director at the International Fuel Quality Centre (IFQC) in Texas explains.
