Onexpo Nacional

What Onexpo Nacional does

Onexpo Nacional, A.C. is a Mexican civil association (asociación civil) founded in 1986 that functions as the largest federation of gas station operator associations in Mexico. It is headquartered in Miguel Hidalgo, Mexico City, and operates as the recognized industry voice for the country's liquid hydrocarbons retail sector, with affiliated state-level associations covering all 32 Mexican states. Its core function is to represent member gas station operators before public, private, and social sector stakeholders, while providing regulatory guidance, technical support, training, and industry information.

The organization's service portfolio is delivered through three primary platforms. Onexpo Tec is a systematic training and certification program covering SASISOPA, NOM regulations, and operational best practices across the gasoline and diesel supply chain. Onexpo TV is a video news and interview platform covering fuel sector developments, regulatory updates, and market analysis. Revista Onexpo is a digital magazine distributed via web and dedicated iOS and Android mobile applications. In addition, Onexpo organizes the annual Convención & Expo (held in Mérida in 2026) and operates a website that distributes regulatory bulletins, member news, and fuel price data sourced from PetroIntelligence (showing national average prices of 23.69 pesos/liter regular, 28.47 pesos/liter premium, and 27.12 pesos/liter diesel as of July 6, 2026).

Onexpo Nacional does not generate commercial product revenue; its business model is membership-based, with dues from affiliated gas station operators, supplemented by training fees, event revenue, and media partnerships. It maintains formal affiliations with Concanaco (Confederación de Cámaras Nacionales de Comercio, Servicios y Turismo), CLAEC (Cámara Latinoamericana de la Industria de Combustibles), and Comener (Cámara Nacional de la Industria de las Energías Renovables), and operates as a channel partner for international oil brands including Shell, BP, Mobil/ExxonMobil, ARCO/Marathon Petroleum, Total, Gulf, and Valero. Leadership for 2025-2026 is headed by President L.A.E. Enrique Felix Robelo, supported by zonal vice presidents covering North, Central, South, West, and Valle de México, with prior president Roberto Díaz de León Martínez (2020-2021) credited with launching Onexpo TV and pushing creation of CANAIHL and a 15,000 million peso sector modernization investment program.

Core offering

Onexpo Nacional, A.C. is a trade association that represents the liquid hydrocarbons (gasoline and diesel) industry in Mexico. It operates as the largest federation of gas station and fuel distributor associations in the country, providing its members with industry representation before public and private sectors, regulatory compliance support, technical training, information dissemination (fuel prices and market news), and a portfolio of media platforms (Onexpo TV, Onexpo Tec, Revista Onexpo) along with an annual Convención & Expo.

Product overview

Onexpo Nacional A.C. is a trade association representing Mexico's liquid hydrocarbons industry, serving as the largest federation of gas station associations in the country with representation in each state. Rather than offering a unified software product, the organization provides three main service platforms: Onexpo TV (a video news and interview platform covering fuel sector developments), Onexpo Tec (a training and certification platform offering courses on safety regulations like SASISOPA, NOM standards, and operational best practices), and Revista Onexpo (a digital publication available via web and mobile apps). These services support member gas station operators with information, professional development, and industry updates.

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Regional players

• Sindicom (Sindicato Nacional das Empresas Distribuidoras de Combustíveis e de Lubrificantes): Brazil's national trade association for fuel distributors and retailers, providing representation, training, and industry data. It is a strong regional peer — same downstream-fuels trade-body function in another large Latin American market, with comparable regulatory and membership dynamics.

Others

• BP México: BP México is a core channel partner for Onexpo Nacional, operating 530 stations across 29 Mexican states through affiliated operators. As one of the most deeply embedded international majors in Onexpo's network, it is an ecosystem participant whose expansion strategy directly drives membership growth.
• Pemex (Petróleos Mexicanos): Mexico's state oil company, which historically dominated fuel supply and franchising in the country. Pemex is an ecosystem participant whose supply, pricing, and policy decisions materially affect Onexpo Nacional's members — making it a key strategic counterpart rather than a competitor.
• Shell México: Shell México operates an extensive branded station network through affiliated operators and has publicly targeted 5,000 new stations by 2025 in markets including Mexico. Shell is a major channel partner whose franchise growth is a key upstream driver of Onexpo Nacional's member base.
• ARCO / Marathon Petroleum: ARCO, operated by Marathon Petroleum, surpassed 300 stations in Mexico by 2020 and is a key branded-fuel channel partner for Onexpo Nacional. It is a major international brand whose expansion in Mexico directly correlates with Onexpo membership opportunity.

Direct peers

• FuelsEurope: FuelsEurope represents the European petroleum refining and marketing industry, covering downstream fuels including retail. Comparable as a downstream-fuels industry association with advocacy, sustainability, and training mandates — similar in role to Onexpo Nacional at a continental level.
• Canadian Fuels Association: Canadian Fuels Association represents petroleum refiners, marketers, and retailers in Canada, providing advocacy, training, and industry research. It is a direct peer in function (national fuel-industry trade body) and closely comparable in service mix (training, regulatory representation, member events).
• NACS (National Association of Convenience Stores): NACS is the US trade association for the convenience and fuel retail industry, offering advocacy, training, media, and an annual trade show (NACS Show). It is the closest functional analog to Onexpo Nacional: a fuel-retail/c-store association serving operators across the US, just as Onexpo serves gas station operators across Mexico.
