Orlen and Lotos won’t raise retail prices following new fuel surcharge

State-controlled fuel giants Orlen and Lotos don’t plan on increasing retail fuel prices if the proposed fuel surcharge will come into force. “We are more and more convinced that the introduction of the emission fee won't result in an increase in prices for our retail clients,” Zbigniew Leszczyński from the Orlen's management board said. Furthermore, Lotos sees the proposed PLN 0.08 per liter fee “marginal” and won’t slap it on top of the retail price. “We have the courage to take it on ourselves,” the company’s CEO Marcin Jastrzębski added.
