Austria’s fuel stations diversify

Austria ended 2024 with 2,724 publicly accessible fuel stations, according to data from the country’s energy and fuel industry association (FVEK). While the overall number of sites fell slightly, the range of services and alternative fuels expanded significantly.

The network includes 1,305 major-branded stations operated by FVEK members such as Enilive, bp, OMV (including Avanti), Shell and JET, alongside 1,419 sites under brands like Turmöl, Genol, Avia and SOCAR. Despite a modest decline in station numbers, operators are investing heavily in customer experience: over 1,100 major-branded sites now feature shops and nearly 940 offer bistros, reflecting a shift towards multifunctional hubs for mobility and convenience.

Biofuel availability also expanded: 118 stations now offer HVO100, a renewable diesel alternative made from waste materials, more than triple last year’s figure. CNG, LNG and LPG options are also present at select sites
