08:58 AM EDT, 10/16/2026 (MT Newswires) -- Shell (SHEL.L, SHELL.AS) is considering selling its retail forecourts business in France, a spokesperson told MT Newswires on Friday. The statement comes after Reuters reported, citing an unnamed source and documents, that the British oil major agreed to sell its mobility business to Ireland-based DCC Energy (DCC.L). The potential deal would cover 70 sites and eight LNG installations. Subject to consultation with employee representatives, the transaction could close in the second quarter of 2027. Shell added that it would not comment further at this ⁠stage.
