Adnoc Xpress station concept unveiled in Abu Dhabi

ABU DHABI, January 25, 2017

Adnoc Distribution has launched a new concept of petrol stations in Abu Dhabi, serving the most congested areas of the city and its suburbs.

Part of Adnoc Distribution’s expanding network, the first of the new Adnoc Xpress stations is located at Al Maqta near the Abu Dhabi Federal Court of First Instance on Sheikh Rashid Bin Saeed Al Maktoum Street.

The station was inaugurated by Saeed Mubarak Al Rashdi, acting chief executive officer of Adnoc Distribution. The event was attended by members of Adnoc Distribution’s senior management and officials from several government entities.

The company also announced the opening of Al Shurooq station in Abu Dhabi’s Shakhbout City, the second facility in the Adnoc Xpress network.

Maximising speed and convenience of service, the Xpress stations have an oblong ground plan featuring one island with either two or three dispensers that offer only two fuel varieties – Special 95 and E-Plus 91. Stations with two dispensers span an area of 600 sq m and those with three dispensers an area of 800 sq m.

Adnoc Distribution carefully selected the sites based on the results of studies that examined the demand for refuelling services in various locations within Abu Dhabi city and its peripheral areas, said the company.

Commencing in early August 2016, the company completed the design and construction of its first Adnoc Xpress stations in record time in a bid to reduce overcrowding at existing service stations.

Al Rashdi said: “At Adnoc Distribution, we are keen to ease the pressure on our existing service station network and offer motorists more options to refuel their vehicles as part of our efforts to enhance the customer experience. Towards this priority, we launched Adnoc Smart and are opening two new stations under the Adnoc Xpress umbrella - reinforcing our ongoing efforts to provide our customers with high-quality refuelling services in the shortest possible time. We are confident this new concept will appeal to our customers and make the refuelling process easier and more convenient for all.”

Set to commence full operations by Q1 2017, the initial Adnoc Xpress network will comprise eight more stations on Abu Dhabi Island and mainland, including two stations in Mohammed Bin Zayed City, and one station in each of the following locations: Shakhbout City, Khalifa City, Sheikh Zayed Bin Sultan Street, King Abdullah Bin Abdul Aziz Street, Delma Street, and Al Falah Street.

He added: “ADNOC Distribution is pursuing an ambitious expansion plan and is set to open 25 new service stations and eight Adnoc Xpress stations across the UAE in 2017.”  -TradeArabia News Service
