What Drivkraft Danmark does

Drivkraft Danmark is a Danish non-profit trade and employer organization (branche- og arbejdsgiverorganisation) representing the country's fuel suppliers and charging operators, founded in 1968 and headquartered at Esplanaden 34 A in Copenhagen. It serves as the collective voice for two Danish refineries (Kalundborg and Fredericia) and a member network of more than 2,200 gas stations, fast charging stations, and truck facilities nationwide, functioning simultaneously as an industry association, an employer bargaining body affiliated with Dansk Arbejdsgiverforening (DA), and a regulatory interlocutor on transport, energy, and climate policy.

The organization does not sell fuel or charging services directly; instead, it provides political advocacy, technical and environmental consulting, collective labour agreement negotiation and interpretation, legal counsel, EU representation, and industry statistics (with fuel price series dating back to 1970). It also operates two consumer- and SME-facing knowledge portals: vioplader.dk, which provides information on passenger EV charging and the Danish charging market, and eltiltrucks.dk, a newer portal targeting smaller transport companies with intelligence on electric truck electrification. Member employees are covered by collective agreements that route through PFA Pension as the pension scheme provider.

The business model is membership-funded: dues from fuel suppliers, refineries, and charging operators finance a 15-person secretariat led by Direktør Jacob Stahl Otte, with functional heads covering political affairs, communications, technical and environmental issues, e-mobility, legal/labour law, and finance. Drivkraft Danmark also publishes indicative retail fuel prices (e.g., Benzin 95 at 17.69 kr./liter, Diesel at 17.89 kr./liter) as reference information rather than a commercial offering. Strategic priorities articulated on the website and in recent consultation responses center on securing fair market conditions for charging operators, advocating for Danish production of future fuels for aviation and shipping (Power-to-X), and ensuring that energy security and the green transition are treated as complementary rather than competing policy objectives.
