OMV Petrom has inaugurated Romania’s largest electric vehicle charging hub at Miercurea Sibiului along the A1 motorway, significantly expanding the country’s EV infrastructure on one of its most vital transport corridors.
The new facility features 34 high-speed charging points, with 17 stations installed on each side of the motorway. Of these, 16 chargers are designed for electric cars with a capacity of up to 300 kW, while the remaining 18 cater to electric trucks, offering up to 400 kW of charging power. The project was developed through a concession agreement between OMV Petrom Marketing and the National Road Infrastructure Administration Company (CNAIR).

“Our 2030 strategy includes the development of the largest EV charging network in Romania, as part of our commitment to support the decarbonization of transportation,” said Radu Căprău, Executive Board Member at OMV Petrom, responsible for Refining and Marketing. “The A1 highway is one of Romania’s main commercial routes and part of the pan-European TEN-T corridor.”
The opening of the Miercurea Sibiului hub is part of OMV Petrom’s broader push to strengthen its position in the electric mobility sector. The company currently operates around 780 service stations under the OMV and Petrom brands across Romania, Moldova, Bulgaria, and Serbia, with a regional network of about 1,000 EV charging points. In 2023, OMV Petrom began building a network of 400 high-power charging points across Romania, Slovakia, and Hungary. It also completed the acquisition of Renovatio Asset Management, reinforcing its leadership in Romania’s EV charging market.
“With the hub at Miercurea Sibiului, we are offering transporters and drivers more than just a place to refuel—whether with conventional fuels or power,” said Adrian Nicolaescu, Head of Retail Activities at OMV Petrom Marketing. “We are creating a space designed for comfort and convenience, where they can take a break, enjoy a coffee or snack, and shop.”
OMV Petrom aims to expand its EV infrastructure to 5,000 charging points by 2030, supporting the company’s long-term strategy for sustainable transport across the region.
