With green and eco-friendly vehicles becoming major trends nowadays, it was to be expected for the companies providing the necessary fuel for such vehicles to start going “all-green,” including here the re-fueling or charging stations. And this seems to be the case with Finnish energy company St1, which is currently providing its Refuel RE85 ethanol biofuel at five eco-conscious wind and solar-powered retail fuel sites in the greater Helsinki area and plans to soon expand to other locations in Finland.

Two of the sites are partly wind and solar-powered, while three are already fully powered by on-site energy production and additional industrial wind power. However, all of them make very good use of the Global Ovation iX dispenser system, provided by Dresser Wayne.

According to the company's statement, the Global Ovation iX dispenser includes many elements that support the customer service objectives. The iX Technology Platform, with the iX Media 10.4 inch, in-dispenser color digital screen, enables St1 to offer educational videos about St1 Refuel RE85 ethanol and its eco-friendly mission and philosophy during the fueling experience.

Furthermore, besides the environmental videos, the platform offers the option of promotional campaigns to drive sales of other St1 offerings and provides St1 with the revenue-generating option of selling merchandising space to other businesses.

The Global Ovation iX dispenser features the Xflo fuel meter, available in an eco-fuel compatible design. The Xflo meter significantly reduces meter drift and shows benchmark accuracy through its advanced axial dual spindle technology. Plus, this accuracy helps ensure precisely blended alternative fuels.

“We want to engage our customers with an informative experience - one that also offers the reward of doing what’s right for the environment. The Dresser Wayne Global Ovation iX dispenser’s user-centric design and leading technology help make this possible,” said Mikko Reinekari, St1 sales director, talking about his company's latest development.
