What 4Refuel does

4Refuel is North America's largest mobile on-site refuelling provider, offering direct-to-equipment delivery of fuel and alternative energy products 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. The company operates across all seven Canadian provinces (plus the Atlantic region) and Texas, USA, deploying a fleet of mobile refuelling vehicles to deliver fuel directly to commercial customer sites — eliminating the productivity loss and downtime associated with vehicles and equipment travelling to fixed refuelling stations. 4Refuel serves over 3,000 customers across transportation, construction, rail, power generation, marine, mining, oil & gas, and (more recently) data centres, delivering approximately 1 billion liters of fuel annually and employing more than 650 people across North America. Its product portfolio spans traditional fuels (clear diesel, dyed diesel) and lower-carbon alternatives (biodiesel, renewable diesel), with services including mobile on-site refuelling, bulk delivery, mobile DEF refuelling, and power generation support.

The company's core technology layer is Fuel Management Online (FMO), a proprietary fuel management platform (managingfuel.com) that provides customers with real-time visibility into fuel purchasing, consumption tracking, and greenhouse gas emissions reporting. FMO's analytics capabilities support energy forecasting and overage minimization across customer fleet assets, making it a meaningful part of the company's value proposition beyond pure logistics. 4Refuel also maintains a knowledge center, a fuel savings calculator on its website, and active educational webinar programming (such as the "Fuelling the Shift" series on renewable diesel featuring Purolator, Aecon Group Inc., and Shell Canada) to support customer decarbonization strategies.

4Refuel monetizes primarily through transaction-fee-based revenue from fuel product sales and mobile delivery services, with custom quote-based pricing and multi-year contracts tailored to each customer's fleet size, geography, and operational complexity. The go-to-market motion is enterprise field sales targeting commercial and industrial customers. In July 2025, H.I.G. Capital acquired the company from publicly listed Finning International Inc. (TSX: FTT) for a transaction value of up to CAD 400 million, transitioning 4Refuel from a public-subsidiary status to a private-equity-owned platform with an explicit acquisitions strategy signalled by a dedicated "Acquisitions" page on its corporate website.

Direct peers

• Mansfield Energy Corp: US-based commercial and industrial fuel distributor delivering gasoline, diesel, and DEF on-site to fleets, construction sites, and mines. Closest US analog to 4Refuel in business model (mobile on-site delivery + bulk) and customer mix.
• Parkland Corporation: Canadian-headquartered downstream fuel marketer and convenience retailer. Operates bulk fuel, cardlock, and on-site delivery across Canada and the Caribbean that directly overlap with 4Refuel's mobile on-site delivery model in the same Canadian geographies.
• Core Fuels: Bulk fuel and lubricant distributor serving commercial, industrial, and agricultural customers across the western US and Canada. Comparable mid-size mobile/bulk fuel delivery model with multi-product, multi-segment customer mix.
• World Fuel Services (WFS): Global multi-segment fuel distribution and energy services company covering aviation, marine, and land. Direct overlap with 4Refuel's land-based commercial fuel distribution and alternative/lower-carbon fuel offerings.

Broad incumbents

• Pilot Travel Centers (Pilot Flying J): North America's largest travel-center network serving long-haul trucking fleets with fuel and on-site services. Competes with 4Refuel for fleet-fuel spend, but operates fixed-site travel centers rather than mobile on-site delivery.
• Shell Mobility (Commercial B2B): Shell Canada's commercial fuels business is among the largest B2B diesel and renewable diesel suppliers in Canada. Overlaps with 4Refuel in commercial cardlock, bulk, and fleet fueling, and is a renewable diesel supply partner (featured in 4Refuel's 'Fuelling the Shift' webinar).
• TravelCenters of America (BP): Truck-stop and fleet fueling operator now owned by BP. Targets the same long-haul trucking and commercial fleet customer base as 4Refuel via fixed-site travel centers and TA Express cardlock locations across the US.
• Suncor Energy (Downstream): Integrated oil major with a Petro-Canada retail and commercial wholesale network across Canada. Competes with 4Refuel for commercial fleet supply contracts and is also a fuel-supply counterparty to 4Refuel's distribution model.
• Superior Plus: Canadian energy distribution platform spanning propane, heating oil, and specialty fluids with bulk delivery capability. Comparable Canadian-based energy-distribution DNA and multi-product, multi-vertical GTM.

Emerging players

• Booster Energy: Mobile fuel delivery startup that pioneered on-site fleet fueling in the US, originally serving data centers. Same core mobile-on-site-delivery model as 4Refuel, though smaller scale and increasingly pivoting toward mobile EV charging.
