Rolande, IDS-Q8 open first joint station in Germany

Lübeck station adds to their LNG filling station in Rotterdam. By the end of the year, Rolande will open two other stations at IDS-Q8 locations in Germany, in Grasdorf and Ziesar.

Dutch LNG infrastructure provider Rolande and truck dedicated filling station network operator IDS-Q8 are expanding their partnership with the opening of their first joint gas filling station in Germany, located at the Lübeck site of IDS-Q8.

In addition to the facility in Lübeck, this cooperation already operates an LNG filling station in Rotterdam, Botlek (Netherlands). In combination, the two fuel specialists connect two important locations in the transport sector: the ports of Rotterdam and Lübeck.

By the end of the year, Rolande will open two other stations at IDS-Q8 locations in Germany, in Grasdorf and Ziesar. As part of the partnership, customers also benefit from the option of paying with the IDS-Q8 fuel card at Rolande LNG stations.

With two LNG pumps, the Lübeck 24/7 self-service filling station has a daily capacity of up to 150 vehicles. The station also serves CNG and is prepared for delivering bio-LNG.

A pioneer and market leader for building infrastructures for truck liquefied natural gas and bio-LNG in the Netherlands, Rolande’s goal is to create an LNG network that covers the entire European continent. To achieve this, the company is building on its own locations, but also on long-term partnerships such as the one in place with IDS-Q8.

A Kuwait Petroleum Corporation subsidiary, IDS-Q8 is one of Europe’s leading fuel card providers and owner of an international network of truck dedicated filling locations.
