Emo Oil opens new Fuelcard facility in Rathcoole

Ireland’s fastest growing oil company – Emo Oil – recently opened its latest Superfuel 24 Fuelcard facility at Greenogue Business Park in Rathcoole and with large transport vehicles now banned from Dublin’s city centre, the opening of such a facility couldn’t be more opportune.

Situated just off Dublin’s busy Naas Road (N7), Emo Oil’s latest Superfuel 24 facility in Greenogue Business Park, Rathcoole is ideally located to meet all your refuelling needs.
The site is especially practical for large trucks that are now banned from Dublin city centre during the day. Its location, ease of access and 24-hour service has already proven to be a massive hit with transport companies from all over the country.
Truck drivers have also been impressed by the night-time floodlighting and the security provided by the CCTV system. The facility accepts all major Fuelcards including Texaco, Texoil, Statoil, TOP, DCI and Morgan.

The Greenogue site will be further enhanced by the opening of a restaurant, deli and shop adjacent to it in the coming weeks. The site is extensive, with plenty of room for trucks and coaches to get in and out quickly and safely.
The Rathcoole project was managed by Emo Oil technical director, Ian Gillespie and his team who designed and managed the greenfield construction process, which was completed in a record time of two months. The site is based on successful European models which are totally unmanned and based on a driver’s basic need – drive in, refuel and drive off quickly. The single entry, single exit points ensure that drivers don’t have to make awkward turns.

All transactions are automated and secure when using the chip and PIN facilities on each Fuelcard. The diesel tanks are monitored remotely, 24/7, 365 days a year so that the site never runs out of product, which may have been a concern for drivers. There are six fast-fill diesel pumps and one gas oil pump on-site which makes the facility suitable for both HGVs and LGVs. Emo’s site maintenance technician, Tom Keogh, ensures that the site is operational and clean at all times.
“We talked to the drivers who are on the road using our cards day in, day out, and each site is developed with their needs in mind,” explains Emo Marketing Manager Susanne McCabe.

“To encourage drivers to use the site, Emo ran a competition where drivers could win a Plasma TV when they dropped their entry form into the competition box on-site. We received great feedback from drivers and were surprised by the number of entries received.
“There is a message board on-site that the winner of the competition will be announced on over the coming days. This message board is used to give users of the site up-to-date information as it happens,” she adds.
Emo Superfuel 24 Rathcoole is the second such facility opened by the company within the past four months. It follows the opening of Emo Superfuel 24 in Mountrath, Co. Laois which is also situated on the N7 Dublin-Limerick route. “Drivers are finding both extremely useful and the litres through these sites grow daily,” says Emo Oil Managing Director, Gerry Wilson.

The opening of the Rathcoole and Mountrath sites brings to 70 the number of Emo Fuelcard facilities in this country. In 1998, Emo Oil launched its own Fuelcard and quickly became one of the strongest Irish-based Fuelcard companies. The Emo SMART Fuelcard can now be used at over 400 locations nationwide.

“Growing and developing the choice of sites available to drivers on the road has always been a priority within the company,” Gerry notes. Emo has developed and grown some of the most successful Fuelcard sites in the country, including their Dublin Docks site and Emo Truckstop in Dundalk. The company is always on the look-out for potential Fuelcard sites and plans to develop further such sites in the near future.
Headquartered in the midlands and owned by DCC Plc, Emo Oil Ltd is one of the most dynamic oil companies in the Irish market. The Emo brand is also well recognised in Northern Ireland and the UK.
