The lubricant market:
The roadside service and petrol station market: There are three different types of fuel station: oil company stations operating on major traffic routes, supermarket chains operating in their car parks, and small-scale companies operating in remote areas, each with a different business model. Yet they all have to adapt to the energy and mobility transition. EQUIP AUTO presents a wide range of investment solutions.
The car wash market: Car washing is a key sector in the automotive industry. It caters to the needs of a constantly growing number of cars on the road, but is facing challenges such as restrictions on the use of water, rising energy costs and environmental issues, of which it is a key part. EQUIP AUTO brings together a representative range of players in Lyon.
