Roadside stations

In the Benelux, ExxonMobil service stations use the familiar Esso brand name. They are easily recognized by the bright red in the logo, which is repeated at various locations throughout the service stations.

Esso combines the sale of quality car fuels with an excellent service to its clients. Every possible effort is made to limit the time it takes at the cash desk, because Esso knows how important a fast and efficient checkout is. The service station staff are happy to help fill your tank or direct you to your destination, client friendliness comes first.

The largest Esso station in the world is located in the Benelux on the highway from Luxembourg City to Trier in Germany, just before the border in the town of Wasserbillig.

In the Netherlands and Belgium, Esso rewards faithful customers with electronic savings points: Esso Extras. A customer who quickly returns to fill his tank at an Esso station will receive a substantial bonus.

Every manned station has a shop where you can purchase a wide range of articles. Esso operates a number of retail formulae that suit the wishes of today's consumer. You will find more information on this topic in the section 'Our brands'.

Stations on the water

Bunker stations. This is the name we give to petrol stations on the water where inland shipping and fishing vessels can purchase their gas oil and lubricants. The stations are located along the major rivers in the Netherlands and Belgium.

The captains can refuel at these stations, but they can also purchase practical household products, tools and groceries. The Esso bunker stations are not run by ExxonMobil itself, but by traders that sell Esso products. The relationship between ExxonMobil and its traders is very close and normally lasts for decades.

Esso in agriculture

Diesel, gas and lubricants. These are the products ExxonMobil sells in the agricultural sector. The diesel intended for agricultural vehicles actually looks rather different from standard diesel. In compliance with government regulations, a red dye is added. This is because less tax is levied on agricultural diesel than on standard diesel, therefore the product must be easily recognizable.

The sale of diesel, gas and lubricants in the agricultural sector takes place through regional traders who have excellent contact with the local farmers. They deliver the products directly to the customer.

EssoGas

Esso is very often your supplier, whether it is a canister of gas at the camping site or the propellant (aerosol) in your deodorant. In Belgium, Esso supplies LPG-gas in tanks and canisters. And in the Netherlands, Esso is the undisputed market leader in propellants. Esso is also a main supplier of LPG. Esso provides the market with quality gas, either directly or via resellers.

Mazout in Belgium

Mazout is the Belgian word for domestic fuel oil. The majority of the Belgians still uses it as a source of energy to heat their homes. In the Netherlands, people generally use natural gas.

Mazout for domestic heating is a light fuel oil, strongly resembling the diesel sold at the service station, but the tax on mazout is considerably lower. Domestic fuel oil can only be purchased from mazout traders. Esso is currently the main player on the Belgian mazout market.

Jet fuel

ExxonMobil supplies jet fuel to over 700 airports in 86 different countries. The customer base includes the names of commercial airline companies, military clients, companies and flying clubs.

The jet fuel is produced to strict specifications at ExxonMobil's own refineries. ExxonMobil supplies the Benelux airports exclusively ex-refinery. In other words, there are no tankers with the Esso, Exxon or ExxonMobil logo driving around at Schiphol or Zaventem in the Netherlands or Findel in Luxembourg.

The airline companies order their fuel directly from a central organization in England, ExxonMobil Aviation International Limited. Their head office is located in Leatherhead, not far from London's Gatwick airport.

Each day, ExxonMobil sells approximately 120 million liters of jet fuel from its Leatherhead office. By way of comparison, a Boeing 747 loads roughly 200,000 liters of jet fuel before embarking on an intercontinental flight.
