EUROPEAN ROAD TRANSPORTATION FUELS MARKET – A RETAILER PERSPECTIVE

European road transportation fuels market – a retailer perspective Ever since motorized vehicles started to take over road transportation work from the horse, the auto and fuel retail industries have lived in harmony jointly benefiting from an almost unchanged business model. Despite oil price shocks and peak oil projections, gasoline and diesel have remained almost unchallenged as fuels for all global road mobility. Over the years, engines have significantly improved, exhaust aftertreatment systems have become  standard and fuels have become cleaner – all significantly reducing the emission of pollutants on a per kilometer basis. However, as the total mechanized transportation work has grown globally as well as here in Europe, our industry is the only sector where GHG emissions have increased significantly since 1990.  And still in 2017, air pollutants are calculated to be responsible for more than 400.000 premature deaths in Europe alone. Add to that severe air quality problems in countries like India and China it becomes evident that our industry must expect significant changes in the years to come. For the first time in the history of fuel retailers we already see evidences of fundamental changes that will create both challenges and opportunities.  Not only may the engine technologies change but the fuels we sell in the future will follow suit. Even the traditional business model may have to be adopted to a new reality in the years to come. Scandinavia is playing an important role as proving ground for several of the changes currently on the way. Even if Circle K can-not change the world, we can learn from being present in markets of early change and adopt our business model accordingly. At Circle K we want to make it easy for our customers – this is also valid in the transition towards a more sustainable future.
