OMV Petrom reports 10% rise in fuel sales and expands EV charging network to 1,500 points in Central Europe

OMV Petrom sold 1.49 million tonnes of refined products in the second quarter, a rise of 11 % compared with the same period last year. The Petrobrazi refinery operated at a 97 % capacity factor, with a refined margin of $22.67 per barrel. Despite higher oil prices, the company warned that its operating result would be only slightly negative due to emergency government taxes, temporary solidarity levies and capped refining margins imposed by a decree.

Separately, the company announced that its electric‑vehicle charging network now totals about 1,500 points across Central Europe. More than 380 new chargers were installed in Romania, Hungary and Slovakia, including 304 points at 74 Romanian sites and additional locations along the TEN‑T corridor. The expansion, costing roughly €40 million, is partly financed by €12 million from the EU Connecting Europe Facility. The new stations aim to support growing EV adoption in the region.
