Heritage of Experience

UPEI represents European importers and wholesale/retail distributors of energy and related service providers to European transport and heating customers, independently from the major producers. Operating from the energy production gate to the final consumer, UPEI members supply conventional energy and increasingly its molecule and electron-based renewable and sustainable alternatives. Independent suppliers, covering more than a third of Europe’s demand, play a crucial role in an evolving market by bringing competition which is vital to the economy. Their independence enables them to respond rapidly to changes in terms of market structure, products, and services, contributing to security of supply on a local, regional, and national level.

The International Forecourt Standards Forum (IFSF) is a community dedicated to enabling technology standards for the benefit of retailers of automotive fuel and energy, and their suppliers. IFSF collaborates with other standards organisations and relevant institutions to achieve common standards for the interoperability of forecourt and convenience devices and services. IFSF depends on support from retailers, suppliers, and other industry stakeholders who contribute to, and benefit from, shared standards.
