On March 13 through 16, 2002, the National Complex "Expocenter of Ukraine" in Kyiv will be hosting the 4th International Motor Fueling Complex'2002 Trade Exhibition and the 2nd International InterOilGas'2002 Trade Exhibition. Ministry of Fuel and Power Engineering of Ukraine, Ministry of Transport of Ukraine, Ministry of Industrial Policy of Ukraine, Naftogas of Ukraine and AUTOEXPO Company under Ukrainian Industrial & Investment Concern are traditional organizers of the events. The exhibitions are held under auspicious of the National Complex "Expocenter of Ukraine".

The oil and gas sector in any country is one of the most significant segments of the domestic economy. Taking into consideration the high industrial potential of Ukraine, the problems of oil and gas recovery, refining, transportation and storage are more than just important. In general, this market is directly bound up with the motor fueling business. Therefore, the actual merging of two exhibitions is the entirely comprehensible and justified step of their organizers.

In its turn, a headlong development of the domestic market of fuel stations that has been occurring for the last few years has virtually coincided with the inception of the Motor Fueling Complex. It could be rather attributed to organizers of the exhibition, who knew how to use market conditions arisen and thus contribute to the formation of such an important segment of the national economy. Inasmuch as this market still keeps on developing the same way as before, the interest toward this exhibition promises only to rise

Up-to-date equipment and services to be demonstrated at the exhibitions by foremost participants of oil and gas sector will be a practicable sign of their timeliness and significance. On the whole, these spring trade exhibitions will feature state-of-the-art equipment and technologies for oil-and-gas field exploitation, oil refinery, oil and gas transportation, construction of oil and gas production facilities, oil and oil products quality control equipment and technologies, technical facilities to construct and maintain trunk pipeline systems. At the same time, there will be displayed petroleum and gas filling stations, fueling station equipment, including fuel dispensers and LPG, fuel dispenser equipment (fuel noses, valves and hoses), and petrochemicals quality control equipment, wash units and equipment, oil product cashless settlement systems, cash registers and dispensers, mini-shops, vending machines, fast food service, various materials and finished design solutions for fuel stations outdoor and indoor appearance, etc.

In general, both exhibitions are representative forums gathering quite a lot of trade visitors dealing in relevant and allied industries. No overstatement, these forums draw scientific, technological and business elite. Organizers mail dozens of thousands invitations to prospective trade visitors all over Ukraine. Since not long ago, such invitations are accessible through Internet. The official site of AUTOEXPO contains a questionnaire any prospective visitor can complete and get the occasion to receive an individual invitation.

All exhibitions by AUTOEXPO are not only scaled and business-like but also cultural events. Press conferences, presentations, topical seminars, shows, lottery raffling and quiz arranged by both organizers and exhibitors are part and parcel of all exhibitions.

The all-Ukrainian competition "My Gas Station'2001" will be also held within the confines of the 4th International Motor Fueling Complex'2002 Trade Exhibition. The results of the competition will be summarized on March 14 right at the exhibition. Having considered the favors of regular car owners, a competent jury will announce separately the winners among petroleum stations and gas stations. The winner of the title "Motor Fueling Complex'2001 Architectural Solution and Design" will be also named. The winners of My Gas Station'2001 will be awarded special prizes and certificates for free space in the next edition of the 5th International Motor Fueling Complex'2003 Trade Exhibition. Furthermore, two motor enthusiasts will get 200 l petroleum each by lots.

Simultaneously with the Motor Fueling Complex'2002 and the InterOilGas'2002, AUTOEXPO Company stages the 6th International AutoTechService (Spring) Trade Exhibition. So, a great system "from borehole to fueling station, from fueling station to petrol tank, and from screw nut to up-to-date motor service technologies" will be displayed at the same time, at the same place. It especially diversifies the exhibition profiles and gives the exhibitors an opportunity to display goods and services in the best way possible. All the more that all of them are too bound in respect of subject and just cannot be imagined as individual events.
