Kuwait Petroleum International creates history in Luxembourg

Since early May 2014, Kuwait Petroleum International (Q8) has opened its first highway site in Capellen, Luxembourg. This is Q8’s largest site ever as well as the third largest site worldwide. The Service Station, which is located on the trans-European E25 motorway in Luxembourg, is very close to the borders of Belgium, France, Germany, and the Netherlands.

The 7th hectares site includes 41 brand new fuel pumps with 28 filling positions for trucks, 11 for cars, and 2 for LPG, a big Delhaize Shop and a Go centre.

It is predicted that, each year, this new station should welcome over one million customers and that over 100 million liters of fuel should be served. This represents four customers filling up the tank of their vehicles every minute of the day.

During the opening ceremony, Kuwait Petroleum International President, Bakheet Al-Rashidi, stated that “Luxembourg may be a small country, but just like Kuwait, it stands tall on the international scene”. He also expressed his hope that this would be the beginning of more ties between Kuwait and Luxembourg.
