- PitPoint.LNG B.V. and LIQAL jointly expand LNG network in Germany
BREDA, THE NETHERLANDS – May 24, 2022 – Liquefied natural gas (LNG) is a readily available alternative fuel to contribute to reducing local air pollution and CO2 emissions in the transportation sector. With demand for LNG for heavy road transport picking up pace across Europe, especially in Germany, PitPoint.LNG B.V. is working with LIQAL, part of Dover Fueling Solutions® (DFS), to expand the network of LNG refueling stations in the German market. Switching to more sustainable, cleaner fuel and reducing dependence on diesel is critical for the transportation industry. A growing number of transport companies in Germany are recognizing the potential of LNG as a cleaner alternative fuel for HGVs. Network expansion in Germany Germany’s central transportation routes are home to high volumes of freight transport, but current density of LNG refueling infrastructure lags behind that of countries like the Netherlands. The German government is taking steps to change this including subsidies on purchasing LNG trucks and exemptions from motorway tolls. Germany is committed to extending the LNG network in line with the energy transition policy. To meet this need for network expansion and fast-growing demand for LNG in Germany, PitPoint.LNG B.V. and LIQAL will realize three LNG refueling stations in 2022. LNG Station on A5 at Hirschberg The first LNG refueling station is installed at the TotalEnergies truck stop in Hirschberg, Germany. It is conveniently located along the A5, making it ideal for transport companies using the travel corridor between Germany and Italy. The development of an LNG station at this strategic location is a further endorsement of the desire for a better and cleaner fuel solution for road transport. The state-of-the-art installation includes a total turnkey LIQAL LNG fueling station with vertical 80 cubic meter LNG storage tank and two LNG dispensers. Full forecourt installation allows simultaneous high speed fueling for two LNG powered trucks and the station comes with a fully integrated SIL-2 safety PLC and ESD system and secure remote access. The site has been operational since mid-March 2022. LNG industry specialists LIQAL and PitPoint.LNG B.V. are established LNG experts and have been involved in developing innovative LNG solutions for nearly decade. Both companies invest in supporting the development of the LNG network: PitPoint.LNG B.V. focuses on finding, realizing, and operating LNG refueling stations, and is a joint venture between TotalEnergies Gas Mobility B.V. and SHV Energy; and LIQAL is a top tier provider of LNG fueling technology. “LIQAL and PitPoint.LNG B.V. share a common commitment to ensure the best LNG refueling technology and services for transport companies. It’s no surprise that both companies decided to partner in realizing three new LNG refueling stations in Germany. I am also very pleased that PitPoint.LNG B.V. decided to gain experience with our automated and TCO-effective BTU system to re-liquefy the station’s boil-off gas on the project site.” – Joost Jansen, Business Development Manager LIQAL. With broad experience and technical knowhow, LIQAL and PitPoint.LNG B.V. jointly develop plans and make preparations for the realization of new LNG stations. The partnership works hard to bring a network of fully equipped, state-of-the-art LNG refueling stations to LNG users the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany. “All our efforts have now achieved an excellent result as evidenced by the brand-new station in Hirschberg. We look forward to realizing the next LNG refueling station in full partnership with LIQAL.” – Jan Willem Drijver, Managing Director PitPoint.LNG B.V.

- Dover Fueling Solutions® Launches Four-Nozzle Wayne Helix® 6000 II CNG Dispensers in France
AUSTIN, TEXAS, – June 15, 2022 – Dover Fueling Solutions® (DFS), a part of Dover Corporation that delivers advanced fuel dispensing equipment, electronic systems and payment, fleet systems, automatic tank gauging, and wetstock management, is pleased to announce the launch of its first ever four-nozzle Wayne Helix® 6000 II CNG dispenser across two fuel stations in France. This double-sided model (featuring two nozzles per side and four nozzles total) builds upon DFS’ advanced dispenser technology and encompasses an enhanced user interface, while showcasing DFS’ ongoing commitment to support the global fuel retail industry by providing high-quality alternative energy options. With the ability for both traditional passenger cars and heavy-duty vehicles to use this fuel dispenser simultaneously, the four-nozzle Helix® 6000 II CNG dispenser facilitates flexible refueling from a single CNG (compressed natural gas) island at busy forecourts. This new dispenser configuration also accommodates the increasing demand for fuel stations to diversify their alternative fuel offering in Europe. The Helix® 6000 II CNG dispenser measures the actual mass of gas (in kilograms) delivered into each vehicle, regardless of the pressure values, temperature and density and also offers considerably lower running costs than petrol or diesel alternatives. Designed to the highest level of security standards, the stylish, flexible Helix family of fuel dispensers lets you effectively and efficiently promote alternative fuel to your customers, making it easy for customers to get all their fuel needs from one place, boosting sales and driving up profits. Domenico Sicilia, DFS Regional Sales Director in the EMEA region, commented, “DFS is a reliable and leading CNG fuel dispenser manufacturer within European markets and has been for decades, through its 130-year-old Wayne Fueling Systems brand. Our CNG models can accommodate both CNG and regular refueling grades, and now with our new four-nozzle model we can enhance usability in busy forecourts throughout Europe.” Régis Bacq, Technical Services, TSG France said, “In France, more and more trucks and buses are equipped with NGV2 filling plugs, or even two models NGV1 and NGV2. The advantage of having the choice of these on each side of the fuel dispenser means that drivers don’t have to think about which fuel dispenser they need to use to efficiently refuel. This resulted in less manoeuvres on the forecourt, thus reducing the risk of accidents as well as waiting times. Not only does this dispenser configuration meets the demand of our customers, as well as the increased distribution of CNG in France, it also makes refueling easier and safer.”
- Optimize your Entire Fueling System with Dover Fueling Solutions®
Managing all aspects of a fuel business can be a difficult job, fraught with challenges. At Dover Fueling Solutions® (DFS), we’ve designed our wetstock product and solutions offering ot help enhance site optimization capabilities to fuel retail businesses, to make their day-to-day operations smoother and more profitable. Fuel retail markets across the globe have been taking advantage of efficient, third-party fuel management services for many years, replacing the traditional, manual processes that once were standard. Over the last 20 years, the fuel retail industry has become more technologically advanced, and retailers now have access to a vast array of wetstock management and tank gauging products and services. These products and services alert retailers if they are losing fuel, help pinpoint the source and exact location of the loss, and also provide valuable insights into many other aspects of running a fuel business, such as the extent of which fuel deliveries are accurate, how best to optimize fuel stations to increase sales and throughput and improve logistics and financial reconciliation. Wetstock management can easily help fuel business owners mitigate risk with real-time visibility and insights, because when it comes to selling fuel, every penny counts. With tight margins, instances of fuel loss can significantly impact profits, the longer they are left unnoticed. The problem? Most fuel site owners don’t know when or where fuel losses are occurring and are therefore unable to address the issue. DFS believes having good data and visibility on volumetric data is no longer sufficient and does not proactively help the retailer control and maximize their business potential – quite simply, the future of wetstock management goes way beyond data reconciliation. What fuel retailers need are tools, information, guidance and advice regarding when to order new fuel stock, the ability to assess the status of their inventory underground and gain insights into possible problems that need attention. For maximum efficiency, all these elements should come together in one, easy-to-use and comprehensive solution, enabling retailers to do everything they need to maintain best practice without spending valuable time and resources on analytics, data-crunching or problem-solving. DFS has created an extensive fuel system optimization offering that provides the help and support fuel retailers need to do exactly that. With wetstock management from DFS, retailers can pick and choose the elements and functionality they need to successfully run their business. The whole process starts with DX Wetstock®, a solution that focuses on enhanced, real-time wetstock monitoring and in-depth loss analysis, followed by compliance and asset management – an element related to wetstock monitoring that is business-critical but not always as visible. Retailers need to comply with all sorts of rules and regulations, while making sure their equipment is up to standard, fully certified and controlled, which can be time consuming and complex. With wetstock management from DFS, compliance and asset management is embedded, as it is incredibly beneficial to the overall performance and management of a fuel station. To ensure the availability of such useful services, DFS has partnered with Techniche to bring DFS Compliance and Asset Manager to the market, providing the best-in-class compliance and asset management tools to the fuel retail industry. Retailers can now locate and diagnose instances of fuel loss quickly with DX Wetstock®; and minimize site and equipment downtime and maintain compliance of their key assets with DFS Compliance and Asset Manager. With the ability to help any size of fuel station, this offering is simple to set-up and use and it can help any size of fuel station. DFS has the power to transform your entire fuel retail network through connected solutions that bring you enhanced site optimization. Are you interested? Let’s get connected!

- Dover Fueling Solutions’® Future of Fueling Report Points to Jetson-Like Fueling Experience
The report illustrates growing consumer prioritization around payment security and paints a picture of a technology-driven experience in the future. AUSTIN, TX – October 3, 2022 – Today, Dover Fueling Solutions® (DFS), part of Dover Corporation and a leading global provider of advanced customer-focused technologies, services and solutions in the fuel and convenience retail industry, released its first-ever Future of Fueling Report. The report explores current US consumer trends, where the industry is headed and how fueling and convenience store owners can future-proof their businesses amid fluctuating fuel prices, increasing demand for electric vehicles and a COVID-driven technological revolution at fuel sites. “In The Future of Fueling Report, we set out to better understand end user preferences to prepare the fueling and convenience retail industry,” said Kendra Keller, Vice President and General Manager, North America at Dover Fueling Solutions®. “We believe the findings in this report provide direction and actionable proactive steps c-store owners can take now to begin delivering on consumer expectations for the fueling experience of the future.” The Future of Fueling Report findings reveal key themes that are shaping the industry: Future-state fueling: Consumers envision future gas stations to model the retro, animated series The Jetsons, according to anecdotal report data, including touchless and automatic self-services. DFS believes that these futuristic concepts could come to life via dedicated fueling lanes that offer fully contactless, digital-first experiences. Security and price transparency at the pumps: Amid increasing instances of skimming schemes, economic instability and fluctuating gas prices, a significant number of respondents cited payment security and price transparency as top concerns. Many forecourts have features and security solutions in place to mitigate such risks before they impact consumers. DFS recommends c-stores focus on educating consumers about these features and solutions to help assuage concerns. EV charging: DFS’ findings revealed that the majority of Gen Zers and millennials would be more likely to consider purchasing an EV if more gas stations offered EV charging. But there are generational and location-based discrepancies inhibiting uptake, indicating that c-store owners should consider their local market and customer base before installing. An evolved c-store: When asked what amenities would be most valuable in an EV-dominant future, respondents selected coffee shops/cafes (39%), followed by sit-down restaurants (29%), and business centers or places to work (11%). These findings indicate that c-stores may need to provide more immersive experiences to keep customers engaged while charging EVs for longer periods of time. “Fueling and convenience retailers that take proactive steps to understand consumer preferences and prepare for both the near-term and longer-term future will set their business apart,” said Scott Negley, Senior Director, Product Management at Dover Fueling Solutions®. “Integrating immersive and digital-first experiences among increasing EV adoption while factoring in generational preferences will be key for the future. Educating consumers on security measures and ensuring price transparency at the pumps is key in the near term.” DFS conducted a survey of 1,000 consumers in July 2022 to better understand their sentiment around the current and future state of gas stations and convenience stores. All respondents were based in the U.S. and represent a sample that reflects U.S. census data in terms of age and gender identity. The survey results paint a picture of how consumers view the fueling and retail industry. The report offers a glimpse of where consumers think the industry is headed and what future solutions might win their loyalty. Click here to read and download the full Future of Fueling Report.

Over the past six years, DFS, with the support of NCGA, have produced and sold fuel dispensers certified to deliver fuel with up to 25 percent, and now, 40 percent ethanol. “DFS continues to innovate by producing and selling dispensers certified to deliver fuel containing up to 40 percent ethanol,” said NCGA Vice President of Market Development Jim Bauman. “This initiative complements our policy priorities like the Next Generation Fuels Act and supports future demand for ethanol and corn farmers.” “We want to congratulate DFS for being the first manufacturer to offer UL-certified E40 fuel dispensers,” said NCGA President Tom Haag. “This is an important step toward offering consumers additional choices at the pump supplied by ethanol, an affordable, domestically-produced source of octane that helps to reduce the environmental footprint of liquid fuels.” For more information on Wayne Ovation® Fuel Dispensers, go to https://www.doverfuelingsolutions.com/fuel-dispensers.
