The first petrol station to be commissioned in this region features three counters for fuel pump and a electric vehicle charging system, reports local media. The station has the capacity to simultaneously assist four small vehicles and two large trucks with fuel. An Azerbaijani corner has been set up at the station to promote the Made in Azerbaijan brand.

SOCAR has filling stations in 21 Romanian regions to date, becoming one of the five key players in the country’s energy market.
