In addition, the firm has also built an LNG filling station in Bolu in northwestern Turkey, located between the capital, Ankara and the largest city in the country, Istanbul.

OMV’s unit in Turkey supplies LNG from terminals in the country via trucks to customers that do not have access to pipeline gas.
