OMV Petrom completes an EU-supported project to expand electric vehicle charging network along key Central Europe corridor
► 384 new charging points connect Slovakia, Hungary and Romania, strengthening electric mobility in Central and Eastern Europe
OMV Petrom, the largest integrated energy producer in South-Eastern Europe, has completed an EU-supported project to expand electric mobility infrastructure, installing 384 charging points along the TEN-T corridor linking Bratislava, Budapest, Oradea and Cluj-Napoca.
“We have rapidly scaled up our network, from about 120 charging points in 2022 to around 1,500 today across the region. We are Romania's leading mobility provider, and this project strengthens a key transit corridor, helping make electric mobility a practical option for drivers. As electric vehicles market is still developing, public funding remains essential to support infrastructure expansion and its economic viability,” said Radu Caprau, Member of the OMV Petrom Executive Board responsible for Refining and Marketing.
The total value of the project at the contracting time amounted to approximately EUR 40 million, of which up to EUR 12 million represents European Union grants for Romania under the Connecting Europe Facility (CEF).
Project highlights
· 384 ultra-fast charging points across Romania, Hungary and Slovakia
· Locations along the TEN-T corridor in: Bratislava, Budapesta, Oradea, Cluj-Napoca, Timisoara, Tulcea, Constanta, Giurgiu, Focsani, Bacau, Suceava etc.
· Investment: around EUR 40 million
· Romania: 304 charging points at 74 locations
· Hungary: 28 charging points at 7 locations
· Slovakia: 52 charging points at 11 locations.
The project contributes to the EU’s objective of developing an interoperable alternative fuels infrastructure along TEN-T corridors, enabling cross-border travel and supporting transport decarbonisation.
It was implemented by a consortium led by OMV Petrom Marketing S.R.L., together with OMV Hungaria KFT and OMV Slovensko s.r.o., in partnership with the European Climate, Infrastructure and Environment Executive Agency (CINEA).
