Petrom could drop PetromV brand

Petrom, the largest company in Romania, could give up one of the brands it is present with on the Romanian fuel distribution market, PetromV, with the company to focus on developing Petrom and OMV-branded petrol stations. “PetromV will turn into OMV. So, at the end of this process, there will be over 180 OMV petrol stations in Romania,” say market sources. According to information from the OMV Romania website, there are currently 76 OMV petrol stations and over 100 PetromV stations. The over 100 petrol stations operated under the PetromV brand could, therefore, be turned into OMV stations. The PetromV concept was launched in 2005, with the main aspect that sets it apart from regular Petrom stations being the incorporation of Viva restaurants, an OMV brand, within Petrom petrol stations.
