The CEO of ADNOC Distribution, Engineer Badr Al-Mumtaz, stated that «ADNOC Distribution offers a vehicle charging service with fast chargers, ensuring a full charge in 20 minutes. These chargers are spread across stations on main routes, extending from Abu Dhabi to Dubai and the Northern Emirates, and from Abu Dhabi to Al-Ain and Al Dhafra region». He added that the number of electric chargers within ADNOC Distribution stations has now reached 300, and the target is to reach 700 or 750 chargers on main roads by 2028, with the actual target expected to be met before this date.
Al-Mumtaz confirmed in an interview with «Al-Ittihad» newspaper that the customer experience for charging electric vehicles through ADNOC Distribution stations is easy and simple. Through a one-time pre-setup via the app, customers can charge their vehicle every time without any additional steps or procedures.
He mentioned that «localization is a priority file for ADNOC Distribution, with the rate reaching about 63%. We continue to enhance this percentage and increase jobs in all sectors, and are committed to providing the best working environment for citizens. Currently, almost all station managers are citizens, in addition to their presence in other technical and administrative roles, both in ADNOC Oasis or at aircraft refueling stations».
Al-Mumtaz confirmed that ADNOC Distribution also provides opportunities for Emirati entrepreneurs to showcase their products and services through ADNOC Oasis, offering the necessary support and partnership. There are currently over 1,000 outlets managed under the ADNOC Distribution portfolio across the country, and space can be provided for any new ideas, products, or business owners within our outlets to be closer to the public.
He added that «ADNOC Distribution» has the largest loyalty points program in the UAE, with over 2.5 million customers participating, featuring benefits, rewards, and discounts. Points can also be converted into miles after signing an agreement with Etihad Airways, as well as with «Landmark».
Continuing, Al-Mumtaz said: «Regarding the provision of domestic gas cylinders, our services vary according to the residential communities we are in, and also according to the legislations and conditions set by each emirate. For example, in some emirates and at the level of all fuel companies, selling cylinders inside stations is not allowed, while other emirates permit it. ADNOC Distribution always complies with all frameworks and procedures set by the relevant authorities at the level of the country's emirates». He noted that, for example, a customer in Abu Dhabi can order a gas cylinder through the smart app, and it can be delivered within 20 minutes.
Al-Mumtaz revealed a new initiative by ADNOC Distribution, details of which will be announced this November, called «The Hub». It aims to provide comprehensive recreational and community services within road stations, offering families shopping and entertainment, in addition to accessing other premium services like food, electric vehicle charging, and refueling. He stressed that «such initiatives are an attempt to be close to the public, and this is what we focus on in any new expansion plans».
He added that the performance of the first nine months of this year is considered record-breaking and the highest in the company's history, with net profit reaching $580 million (AED 2.12 billion), a growth rate exceeding 15%. Fuel sales reached 11 billion and 700 million liters, while the number of transactions approached 200 million.
Al-Mumtaz confirmed that all set goals have also been achieved, with the number of service stations reaching 980, including 70 stations added in 2025 within the country, and it will reach 100 new stations by the end of this year. Currently, our share exceeds 60% in the local market. Additionally, the number of stations in Saudi Arabia doubled from 69 to 172 during the first nine months of this year under a light-operating model, reflecting a smart regional expansion.
The growth pace at ADNOC Distribution focuses on two aspects: the first is related to the fuel service, and the second pertains to other non-fuel-related services, such as restaurants and various outlets, in addition to electric vehicle charging, car washing, and care, among many other services».
