Shell<\/strong> has announced plans to close 1,000 of its fuel stations<\/strong> by the end of 2025 in the face of an evolving energy sector, with the company prioritizing investment in electric vehicle infrastructure<\/strong> over its traditional service station network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Shell operates approximately 46,000 fuel stations in several countries<\/strong>, and in the face of this, has opted to reconfigure its asset portfolio to adapt to changes in demand for fossil fuels and concerns about climate change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now, statistically, the closure of 1,000 outlets represents only around 3% of its global network<\/strong>, so the drive towards electric vehicles has seen exponential growth in recent years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
