International transport and logistics group Hoyer GmbH, based in Hamburg, Germany, will take on deliveries to Aral filling stations in North Germany starting  August 1, 2012. In future Hoyer will be supplying three quarters of the German chain of Aral service stations, strengthening its leadership in terms of market share and quality in European filling station supply. 

Hoyer will be the transport and logistics provider for Aral filling station supply in Hamburg, Schleswig-Holstein, Lower Saxony and Bremen. This is the result of the latest BP tender. This underpins Hoyer’s business relationship with BP Europe SE/Aral. Hoyer has been supplying filling stations all over eastern and western Germany for the past 10 years. 

This is being taken as an opportunity to renew all the Hoyer fleet equipment. In addition another 44 vehicles will be added to the fleet. Half of the tankers are already being given Aral livery as well as Hoyer or neutral branding. In the future Hoyer will be running a total 115 tank trailers, each with up to eight compartments, to supply the Aral network. The company is investing EUR 12m in new vehicles and also creating an additional 140 jobs for drivers. 

Overall, Hoyer will be looking after 1,456 Aral petrol stations, of which 881 are located in eastern and western parts of Germany and 575 in the newly acquired region.
