This allows drivers not to waste time on the road to the nearest gas station, but immediately after shipping or loading the goods to refuel and go along the route of their flight, - explained in the press service of LLC RUSSIAN VIRTUAL LIBRARY"."

The company's transport logistics department is responsible for the development of the gas station network. All stations comply with the necessary requirements and fire safety standards. Gas stations have special conditions for corporate customers, which will further optimize logistics costs.

For the convenience of drivers, the possibility of contactless payment through the WB Drive mobile application has been implemented. Users just need to scan the QR code at the station, select the refueling parameters and make a payment. Payment with corporate fuel cards is also available.

The company plans to expand its partner network of gas stations. In particular, fuel cards are already being accepted at Gazprom Neft gas stations. In the future, the possibility of providing access to their own gas stations for all motorists is being considered.

It is assumed that the own network of gas stations will reduce the time of delivery of goods between the company's facilities and end consumers by optimizing routes and not having to make additional stops for refueling at third-party gas stations.^[1]
