ViGo Bioenergy acquires Drive Systems to build largest LNG network in Belgium
ViGo Bioenergy has acquired Drive Systems which has been Belgium’s leading independent LNG station network. ViGo said that the acquisition will establish the company as the country’s largest provider of LNG for heavy transport, with an estimated 30% market share of LNG volumes sold.
Currently, Drive Systems operates five high-quality stations across Flanders, servicing key transport routes through Antwerp and the wider region—areas not previously covered by ViGo. The network is renowned for its strong customer relationships and high throughput, built over more than a decade by founder Philippe Desrumaux.
As part of the acquisition, Philippe Desrumaux will join ViGo as Head of Benelux. All stations in the combined network will provide bioLNG, offering ViGo customers expanded options on critical routes and supporting their decarbonisation ambitions.
This acquisition significantly enhances ViGo’s downstream network of LNG stations across Germany, the UK, and Benelux. Customers will benefit from greater route flexibility, improved access to bioLNG, and a seamless experience across borders. The expanded network ensures that heavy transport operators can rely on ViGo for consistent, high-quality service and sustainable fuel options wherever their journeys take them.
Drive Systems Founder Philippe Desrumaux said, “This combination will allow us to offer even more sustainable solutions to heavy transport owners and operators, accelerating the transition to cleaner fuels across the region. Our customers will now have access to a truly European network, making it easier than ever to decarbonise their fleets.”
Pablo Galante Escobar, Head of LNG, EMEA Gas and Power, Vitol, added, “By expanding our network and capabilities, we are supporting our customers through the energy transition and helping them achieve their decarbonisation goals. With a strong downstream presence in Germany, the UK, and Benelux, as well as upstream assets in Lithuania, Latvia and Italy, ViGo is uniquely positioned to serve the evolving needs of the European transport sector.”
In 2024, ViGo expanded filling stations business across Belgium and the Netherlands with the acquisition of PitPoint LNG. It also acquired Reneron to own its maiden biomethane production assets in Lithuania and Latvia.
