What EVANS PETROLEUM GIPPSLAND PTY LTD does

Evans Petroleum Gippsland Pty Ltd is a family-owned petroleum distributor and retailer founded in 1970 by Reg Evans in Leongatha, Victoria, after purchasing the local Esso distribution business. The company operates a dual-channel model: a wholesale arm delivering bulk fuel, lubricants, and AdBlue to commercial, agricultural, and industrial customers across Gippsland and wider Victoria via three strategically located depots (Leongatha, Sale, Traralgon) and a fleet of 21 tankers, alongside a retail network of 15 BP-branded service stations offering fuels, convenience goods, car washes, mechanical services, and cafe facilities. As the authorised BP and Castrol distributor for the Gippsland region since 2013, Evans sources premium fuel technology and lubricant products, distributing BP Ultimate Diesel, alpine diesel, multiple unleaded grades, LPG, and AdBlue, while offering BP/Castrol lubricants (engine oils, transmission fluids, hydraulic fluids, greases, coolants) in formats ranging from 20L drums to bulk deliveries. Revenue is generated through unit pricing on retail pump sales, transaction-based wholesale bulk fuel contracts (typically monthly billing), equipment and storage solution sales, fuel cartage services, and the Evans BP Distributor Card program (which carries a $0.38 per-transaction fee outside the Evans network plus a $0.02/Lt premium at non-Evans BP sites). The customer base spans dairy and beef farms, transport and haulage operators, earthmoving contractors, mechanical workshops, and retail motorists, with a sales-led wholesale approach managed by named account managers and a digital layer comprising a customer portal, online ordering system, and the Backroads video content series.
