Modern trends in unmanned petrol stations
Miroslav Stribrsky, company CEO, opened the day with a presentation on trends in unmanned petrol stations in the Czech Republic and abroad, in which he introduced a concept of petrol stations in the future as seen by some global companies. On one hand, there is an undeniable and logical trend in the growth of other services than refuelling, especially sophisticated gastro concepts, loyalty systems and mobile applications. On the other hand, however, there is a considerable lack of conception or haste in attempts to grasp the concept of electromobility, with which even the largest oil companies do not know what to do.
