PRIO distributes and commercializes liquid fuels and electric energy for mobility, having a tank terminal, a biodiesel plant and a gas filling unit located in the Port of Aveiro.

It has about 250 fuel stations all across Portugal, accounting for more than 2 million monthly customers and owns the largest private network of EV charging points in Portugal.

PRIO was born 12 years ago as a startup and it’s still that startup feeling that makes PRIO permanently innovative and daring.

PRIO might not have the market lead, but we took the lead on innovating our sector in Portugal: we were the first to offer rich biodiesel blends to the end-customer, the first to launch an app and the first to bet in electric mobility as a strategic area in the future of mobility. We are not afraid of the future, we want to get there first.

PRIO is more than just a pit stop. PRIO fuels people’s power and empowers people’s movement. We produce and provide innovative, accessible and safe energy to move people, ideas, vehicles and goods.
