OREANDA-NEWS  The combined companies Wildberries and Russ will launch a network of their own gas stations in Russia. This is reported by the company's press service (a copy is at the disposal of <url>).

Gas stations will operate on the territory of the company's logistics centers. For now, Wildberries and Russ drivers can use them, but they will soon become available to partner drivers. In the future, the company does not exclude the possibility of expanding gas stations and opening them to all customers.

To refuel, drivers can scan the QR code in the WB Drive app. They can pay for fuel in a contactless way through a mobile app or using the company's fuel card. Now more favorable refueling conditions are provided for them in order to reduce the cost of delivering goods.

"This allows drivers not to waste time on the way to the nearest gas station, but immediately after shipment or loading of goods to refuel and go along the route of their flight. The convenience of the location has a positive effect on reducing the delivery time of goods between objects, and therefore to the buyer," the company explained.

Earlier it became known that the online retailer Wildberries terminated construction contracts with Vladislav Bakalchuk's company WB Development. The company was supposed to perform the duties of a technical customer for construction at the facilities. Wildberries explained the termination of the contract as a "groundless unilateral suspension of construction" by Bakalchuk's company.
