Andreas Schaefer of Ideal AKE, part of the NordCap Group, is one of the speakers at the upcoming Mobility Energy Expo 2025, the trade fair for the petrol station and carwash industry. Titled ‘Not just fuel: creating destinations, not just stops’, Schaefer will give his views on the future of petrol stations.

Mobility Energy Expo, on Wednesday 12 and Thursday 13 November 2025 in Jaarbeurs Utrecht, has long been considered the trade fair for everyone working or interested in the international petrol station and carwash industry. During a special conference programme on 12 November, a large number of renowned specialists will give their views on developments in the mobility and energy sector. One of them is Andreas Schaefer, authority on retail and food service solutions within the petroleum market. In his presentation ‘Not just fuel: creating destinations, not just stops’, Schaefer will give his views on the future of petrol stations, on the changing needs of customers and the innovative possibilities of technology at the Point of Sale (POS).

Expecting more

“The days when a petrol station was just a place to fill up are long gone,” says Schaefer. “Consumers expect more: convenience, quality and experience. But why is customer behaviour at the pump changing? And more importantly, how can entrepreneurs respond smartly to this? In my presentation at Mobility Energy Expo 2025, I will show how technology can be used at the POS to add value for the customer as well as increase sales,” says Schaefer, who calls the key to success simple: “We only have to follow the needs of our customers to be successful.”

Mobility Energy Expo 2025, the largest event for the Mobility Energy professional in the field of fuelling, charging, carwash and shop, will be held in Jaarbeurs Utrecht on Wednesday 12 and Thursday 13 November. Also this year, Mobility Energy Expo is joining forces with Fleet Expo.
