The measure affects 130 car washes, including 73 automatic and 57 self-service facilities.
The company said the decision was intended to reduce water and energy consumption, protect natural resources and contribute to the broader sharing of burdens under the current circumstances.
OMV has also asked its contracted partners to join the initiative where possible.
“There are situations when a company’s responsibility extends beyond its own operations. We firmly believe that, under the current circumstances, every measure that contributes to reducing energy and water consumption matters. We know that many motorists who refuel with us also regularly use our car washes, so this was not an easy decision to make, but we felt it was unavoidable. We trust in the understanding and support of our customers,” OMV Hungária said.
The suspension will remain in effect indefinitely. The company said it was continuously monitoring developments and would provide information on the reopening of the car washes as soon as conditions allowed.
