Volenergy

What Volenergy does

Volenergy AG is a privately held Swiss fuel retail and energy distribution company headquartered in Suhr, Switzerland, operating the country's largest filling station network at more than 700 locations. Its portfolio spans fourteen wholly-owned subsidiary brands — including Ruedi Rüssel, Miniprix, Pina, Righetti, and Hubrol — alongside licensed partnerships with bp and selected Shell sites, and an integrated convenience ecosystem of 110+ avec shops (Valora), 27+ bp car washes, and 150+ station shops. The company is a subsidiary of the family-owned Volare Group AG conglomerate.

The company sells vehicle fuels (diesel, gasoline, HVO 100), heating fuels (heating oil and eco-heating oil) to households, commercial and industrial large-scale consumers, and wholesale counterparties. Volenergy operates large-scale tank farms and Switzerland's first HVO 100 transshipment and blending facility, enabling domestic renewable-fuel distribution. Digital and connected-service layers include the proprietary fuel & more card (with WIR and bp+Aral/ROUTEX acceptance covering 30,000 locations across 32 countries), OilFox remote tank monitoring, and tank-storage rental.

Volenergy earns revenue across multiple streams: retail fuel margins across 700+ stations, wholesale fuel trading through its Supply & New Energies division, heating-fuel deliveries to residential and B2B customers, convenience and car-wash ancillaries via avec and bp, fleet-card transaction fees, and tank-storage rental. Pricing is quote-based for bulk fuels and contract-based for fleet cards (monthly invoicing, customizable limits). The 2026 announced acquisition of bp's Austrian filling station network marks its first international expansion outside Switzerland.
