We are committed to identifying opportunities that are aligned the UAE’s strategic direction, by forging collaborations across the government, public and private sectors. Our agreement with ENOC is a testament to these efforts that are geared towards financing infrastructure projects that will in turn alleviate financial burdens on the government and enhance infrastructural efficiencies in the UAE.”

“The UAE has made significant strides in setting a robust infrastructure, now operating a world-class roads and transport network, thereby enhancing the UAE’s global competitiveness. This places emphasis on the importance of forging collaborations and partnerships that will enable the UAE to achieve its goals and aspirations in the lead up to 2071.” He added.

We’ve also taken a bold step to reinvent fueling; with the introduction of ENOC Link; a mobile fueling concept to serve commercial fleets and of our compact station, which can be dismantled and relocated in 30 days. These compact stations will provide fuel to vehicle stops on the federal roads which are relatively remote and may not be in close proximity to a traditional service station, enabling us to ramp up our service station offering and network reach.”
