Hydro was a chain of fuel stations throughout Sweden owned by Statoil. The chain had more than 500 stations, as well as some unmanned Uno-X stations.[1] The company also operated in retailing natural gas, electricity and heating oil.
History
The Hydro chain was created in the 1980s–early 1990s when Norsk Hydro bought the Mobil stations in Norway,[2] Sweden,[3] and Denmark to transform itself to a vertically integrated petroleum company. The stations were rebranded Hydro in all three countries. In 1994 the Norwegian and Danish stations were converted to Hydro Texaco when Hydro merged its stations in the two countries with Texaco
