Herrlisberg Nord motorway fuel station: milestone reached with the sinking of two tanks

After obtaining a 30-year concession for the motorway service station Herrlisberg Nord (ZH), the new TAMOIL station is now under construction. At the beginning of November, two tanks with three chambers each and a total capacity of 110,000 liters were sunk. One of the two tanks is intended for petrol, the other will contain diesel and AdBlue®. With the Herrlisberg Nord fuel station, we are able to expand our nationwide network of AdBlue® columns, making filling the AdBlue® tank a breeze. 

We thank all suppliers and partners involved for the smooth running of this milestone! 

The service station is expected to be operational in the third quarter of 2024, complemented by a SPAR express shop and a gastronomic offer from Holy Cow and GranBar.
