Visitors also had the opportunity to talk in the Expert Zone with representatives of URE, UOKiK, TDT, law firms. They could also see racing cars presented by universities.
Finally, a few words about the Hydrogen Island, which was part of the fair. The following companies presented their products here: Hectronic, Gilbarco, AG Serwis and the Wolff Group. Of course, the exhibition could not miss a hydrogen car, and this time TOYOTA MIRAI presented itself.
Lectures, conferences and meetings are just part of the fair program. The most important are the contacts they established with exhibitors encouraging people to visit their stands.
In fact, much, much more happened at the fair. First of all, numerous exhibitors from Poland and abroad presented their very rich offers. It is thanks to such great products and services that the Polish fuel and energy market can develop so dynamically, modernize and enrich with innovative solutions.
In the meantime, we
invite you to the next edition of the exhibition – the XXXI International Fair PETROL STATION 2026 will take place on May
13-15, 2026 in the EXPO XXI Warsaw hall at ul. Prądzyńskiego 12/14.
