Story summary
  • NPD (New Zealand fuel provider) and Gull (low-cost fuel provider) plan to merge their networks to form the largest independent, majority Kiwi-owned fuel provider.
  • The merger would combine Gull's North Island presence with NPD's South Island footprint, creating about 240 sites from Invercargill to Kaitaia.
  • The two companies supply about one billion litres of fuel annually.
  • They say the merger will boost buying power and efficiencies, which should lower prices for motorists.
