What AusFuel does
AusFuel is the commercial trading brand of Mogas Regional Pty Ltd (ACN 111 402 110), a private company and related body corporate of Viva Energy Group Limited. Founded in 1981 and headquartered in Berrimah, Northern Territory, the company is a regional bulk fuel and lubricants distributor serving commercial customers across Northern Territory, South Australia, Victoria, Western Australia, and New South Wales. AusFuel's customer base spans mining and exploration, primary industry/agriculture, earthmoving and civil construction, marine, transport, and broader commercial accounts, with product lines including bulk diesel, unleaded petrol, premium ULP, aviation fuels (Jet A1, AvGas), and Caltex/Havoline and Delo branded lubricants.
The company's service ecosystem is built around vertical integration: Directhaul, a sister company under the same parent group, operates a fleet of 35+ prime movers providing direct refinery-to-customer-site delivery; the Mogas Fuel Card operates across 70+ acceptance sites with PIN-based security, odometer recording, product and time restrictions, and a customer portal for multi-user account management; and AusFuel designs, engineers, and installs self-bunded fuel farms from 20KL to 2000KL capacity available for rent, lease, or purchase. Additional channels include unmanned 24-hour Outdoor Payment Terminals (OPT) operated under commercial partnership, and a Caltex Branded Reseller Program for petrol station owners. Core technology is deterministic and operational — automated tank monitoring, Key Fob access, card-based spatial fraud detection, and online portals — with no disclosed AI/ML capabilities.
AusFuel's revenue model combines transaction-based bulk fuel sales with subscription-based fuel card fees ($5–$5.50 ex GST per card per month), lubricant sales, fuel farm rent/lease/purchase, and managed-services revenue from OPT partnerships. The go-to-market is sales-led and relationship-based, with dedicated account managers and a wholesale pricing portal for registered customers. The company is a licensed Caltex distributor, providing trusted brand recognition and supply allocation; it also distributes Mobil-branded lubricants in the Northern Territory and East Kimberley WA.
