Scheidt & Bachmann have developed
a dispenser series which can be operated as
“The smallest Petrol Station in the world”. The
concept of this future orientated dispenser is
to serve and manage a complete petrol station
with one system. The customer is guided
through the whole fuelling process by means
of a multimedia screen. The display, designed
to be read easily in bright sunlight, shows the
latest news and traffic reports keepingcustomers
up-to-date with important information. The
operator can get additional benefit by means of
displaying advertisements on the multimedia
screen. www.scheidt-bachmann.de
Hectronic now have PetroPoint, a system
for automatic vehicle recognition. Wireless
transfer of all the relevant data is fast and easy
for the driver. Without any further operation,
the authorisation and pump release, as well as
storage and management of the fuel data are
run off in seconds. In addition, information
about odometer readings or operating hours
can be transferred, which for their part serve as
basic data for servicing, inspections, fuel and
lubricant consumption incurred. PetroPoint
also prevents the wrong fuel being put into a
vehicle. www.hectronic.com
Fuelmatics are now offering a revolutionary
Drive-Thru refuelling system for increased
throughput at stations and heightened customer
satisfaction.The driver remains inside
the car during the entire refuelling process,
while the automat takes care of the entire
refuelling process, including opening of the
fuel door and insertion of the nozzle. The
Fuelmatics concept means a ‘business booster’
which attracts more customers to sites due
to increased speed, convenience, safety and
clean handling. With more refuelling per
hour, the cost per refuelling will be reduced
– an increase in retail efficiency. The system
provides the most environmentaly friendly
refuelling concept available as the refuelling
is made in a closed fuel transfer system.
