There is a new wind blowing through the fetid landscape of oil companies. Today is the first gas station of Peut opened, a inkoopcoöperatie of self-can.
What is Peut?
Peut is the name of a new tankstationmerk, of which the first establishment today is opened in Moordrecht. There is in recent months, a BP converted to a Peut. It is the first in a series of hundreds of independent petrol station under this brand name are operating, and also a private number will spend.
By whom is Peut founded?
Peut is an initiative of inkoopcoöperatie The Free Pump (DVP), beginning of this year, was founded by a number of self-can. DVP is, in his own words, arose from dissatisfaction with the major oil companies. They find that they lack living space to have competitive prices on their columns to convert, while oil companies more and more to unmanned pumps coastdown where the peut cheap. This they want with Peut break. “Through the bundling of purchasing volume and the organisation of a network attract the entrepreneurs, the initiative again.” According to DVP. Now we already have more than 100 can logged in to DVP, which represents some 240 stations.
How does Peut compete with the big boys?
The dissatisfaction with major oil companies include the mandatory use of a price-min procurement system, short payment terms and a lack of temperature correction. By changes in temperature can annually thousands of euros in revenue to miss, as fuel expands in heat and shrinks when cold. As a driver you’d be able to almost nothing of brands, but for entrepreneurs in the tankstationbranche, it is a necessary correction. Big oil companies do not want to, via the cooperative.
How do Peut more left over for tankstationuitbaters?
DVP has four Golden Rules to the margin increase:
- Purchasing on the basis of the world price
- Short term contract
- Checkout after temperature correction
- Reasonable term
The Free Pump has recently signed a contract with oliehandelaar Argos, stating that the petrol and diesel supplied on the basis of the world price, and not according to the Price-min-construction. With the current oil price is in decline is the path that is not an unpleasant prospect.
TL;DR
By itself peut in to buy, peut on Peut-pump is cheaper than a Shell, BP or Esso. A litertje Euro95 costs today €1,569 in Peut, that about a year at least 300 petrol stations in the Netherlands must count.
In short, love that Peut-prices in the coming period in the holes. Perhaps they are really consistently cheaper than the rest.
