At Shell we define mobility hubs as standalone locations where customers鈥� primary mission is to charge or fuel their vehicle, focusing on a wide range of low carbon fuels, including EV, Hydrogen, and pure biofuel. They are often strategically located sites that bring together different transportation options 鈥� whether that鈥檚 buses, bicycles, mopeds, or even ride-sharing cars -to provide commuters with a seamless switch between different modes.

One of the primary roles of mobility hubs is to enhance connectivity within urban areas. By integrating multiple transportation options into a single location, these hubs eliminate the need for travellers to make multiple transfers or rely solely on private vehicles.

Mobility hubs address this issue by integrating various modes of transportation, including micro-mobility options like e-scooters and bike-sharing services. This ensures that commuters have convenient and more sustainable options to complete their journeys, even for shorter distances. It not only saves time but also reduces the overall travel distance, leading to a more connected and accessible city.

Additionally, mobility hubs often provide a variety of lower carbon refuelling or recharging facilities in a single location to cater to a wide range of energy needs.

Xifeng Xu, SVP Mobility Network at Shell said: 鈥淏y 2030, it鈥檚 likely that no single fuel type will dominate road transport globally. That鈥檚 why, as part of the transition to cleaner mobility, Shell is increasingly investing in mobility hubs to ensure we can continue to meet the needs of customers in a multi-fuel and multi-modal world.鈥�

Supporting the switch to electric 

In the Netherlands, we recently opened two 100% electric Mobility Hubs for regular road traffic, focusing on convenience, speed and sustainability.

At the Mobility Hub Hofplein in Rotterdam, travelers can now rent shared electric scooters and cars for short or longer distances. It offers six fast chargers and three AC chargers, which means eighteen electric vehicles can charge at the same time. The site is also the base for 25 to 30 shared electrical scooters and two convenience retail offers, a Shell Select and a Starbucks, so customers can refuel themselves whilst they wait for the vehicle to recharge. 

Moreover, the traditional canopy has been replaced by a wooden design with a new look, which includes 48 semi-transparent solar panels of each 170 Watts peak capacity, which let daylight into the station, while generating an estimated 7,000 to 8,000 kWh of solar electricity per year.

Meanwhile, in the Hague, in collaboration with Q-Park we have partnered to develop a mobility hub that offers parking, fast charging, shared e-bike or scooter services, dry cleaning, workspaces and a Shell Caf茅, all in one of their carparks.

Cleaner mobility offerings at our service stations

In addition to EV charging, we remain committed to supporting all our customers on the road regardless of whether they drive an electric, petrol or diesel car. That is why our Mobility site Panlong station also includes a wide range of fuel offers, including Shell V-Power petrol and diesel, plus Shell China鈥檚 very first Hydrogen refuelling site. 

To help our customers recharge themselves while they refuel, the site also includes a variety of food and beverage offerings including Shell Select, Shell Caf茅 and KFC, as well as the 鈥淒rivers鈥� 麻豆传媒鈥� 鈥� a place for drivers to rest, eat, shower, do laundry and connect.

Xifeng continued: 鈥淎t Shell we believe mobility hubs can play a vital role in creating connected, sustainable, and liveable urban environments. By integrating various modes of transportation, enhancing connectivity, and promoting lower-carbon mobility solutions, these hubs offer a more efficient and environmentally friendly way for individuals to navigate their cities.鈥�
