Axigon

What Axigon does

Axigon is a Czech private joint-stock company (AXIGON a.s.), founded in Prague in 2005, operating a B2B fuel-card purchasing alliance that aggregates demand from 10,000+ member businesses and self-employed professionals. The platform issues Shell Card and EuroOil Card products across three tiered plans (Mini/Standard/Premium, 1,500–5,988 Kč per company per year) and bundles complementary mobility services: CNG fueling, vehicle monitoring via SHERLOG Trace, EV charging (Energokarta at 100,000+ points in 28 countries), toll payment via Shell EETS4U (17 European countries), cross-border VAT refunds via TaxCura, parking payments via Globdata/Parksimply, and operational leasing through Drivalia. Distribution is direct B2B plus a self-serve client zone and a recently launched mobile app (iOS/Android), with a 45-day free trial and 60-day satisfaction guarantee.

The technology stack is built around integration rather than proprietary infrastructure: aggregated purchasing power negotiates flat-rate or discounted per-liter pricing with Shell, EuroOil and other networks; daily transaction feeds flow into SHERLOG Trace for fleet monitoring; TaxCura handles foreign VAT recovery at a 4% commission; the EETS4U on-board unit enables pan-European tolling; and the client zone plus mobile app consolidate invoicing and transaction history. Revenue is generated from recurring annual card subscriptions, monthly monitoring subscriptions, one-time hardware sales, and transaction-based commissions on VAT refunds and EV/toll payments. The customer base spans sole traders to large enterprises (Czech Post is a notable logistics-sector customer), and the company reports approximately 70 million liters of annual fuel volume processed, positioning it as one of the largest fuel purchasers in the Czech Republic.

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights7 records

Direct peers

• UTA Edenred: Pan-European fuel card and toll service provider within the Edenred ecosystem, targeting fleet operators with multi-brand fuel acceptance and integrated toll/VAT services — overlapping directly with Axigon's value proposition.
• DKV Mobility: One of Europe's largest fuel and service card providers for commercial road transport, offering fuel cards, toll settlement, VAT refunds, and EV charging across dozens of countries. Directly comparable business model and customer base to Axigon's alliance.
• Eurowag: Czech-headquartered pan-European fuel card and mobility payment platform serving commercial fleets, with a comparable product mix of fuel cards, toll payment, VAT refunds, and EV charging. Closest direct competitor in geography and offering.

Broad incumbents

• Benzina (PKN Orlen Group): Largest fuel station network in the Czech Republic and operator of a proprietary fleet fuel card. Competes with Axigon in the domestic Czech market and is owned by a major integrated oil group with substantially larger scale.
• Shell Fleet Solutions: Shell's own B2B fuel card and fleet management offering. Axigon resells Shell Card as a core product, making Shell both a critical partner and a structural competitor that could in principle bypass the alliance.
• OMV Station Service / OMV Card: Major Central European fuel retailer and integrated energy company offering its own fleet fuel card across Austria, Czech Republic, and surrounding countries. Comparable as a fuel card competitor and a partner-or-rival for alliance-style programs.
• MOL Group Fleet Card: MOL Group's multi-country fuel card program for commercial fleets, accepted across Hungary, Czech Republic, Slovakia, and the wider CEE region. Direct competitor in the regional fleet fuel card market.

Emerging players

• AtoB: A digital-first fuel card and fleet payments platform serving SMBs and mid-market fleets across Europe with a mobile-first, self-serve onboarding flow. Emerging peer targeting the same OSVČ and SMB segment that Axigon's Mini and Standard tiers serve.
• Fleetio: Cloud-based fleet management software covering fuel cards, maintenance, and vehicle data, used by thousands of SMB and mid-market fleets globally. Comparable on the fleet management and SHERLOG-style monitoring layer, though more software-led than fuel-alliance-led.

Regional players

• LogPay (Volkswagen Financial Services): German-headquartered fuel card and toll settlement provider within the Volkswagen Group, focused primarily on DACH-region commercial fleets. Comparable in product mix (fuel, toll, EV) but operates mainly outside Axigon's home territory.
