Kuwait establishes diesel service station in Lithuania

KUWAIT, July 29 (KUNA) -- Kuwait Petroleum International, one of companies serving under umbrella of the national Kuwait Petroleum Corporation, has inaugurated the first site in Lithuania securing diesel at a key road crossing near the border with Poland.
KPI said in a statement released on Sunday that the International Diesel Service (IDS), which is KPI's commercial vehicle retail network brand, has opened the card acceptance site, located at a strategic crossing in Marijampole close to the border with Poland.
The KPI noted in the statement the establishment of site would have positive impact on the development of the national economy and the nation interaction with other EU member states.
Lithuania joined the European Union in 2004.
Moreover, the key location is a transit route between Western Europe, Scandinavia countries, eastern markets such as Russia and Commonwealth Independent States. Every transaction at the site is pre-checked for authorization the moment the commercial vehicle driver uses the fuel card.
Expansion of IDS in Lithuania emphasizes KPI's commitment to offer the most extensive and secure fuelling network coverage throughout Europe.
The IDS is a network for fueling long haul and international transport companies, with more than 570 sites at strategic locations in 21 countries in Europe. (end) mjb.rk KUNA 291306 Jul 12NNNN
