Gilbarco unveiling CNG dispenser at NACS

  • Gilbarco unveiling CNG dispenser at NACS

    In yet another indication that CNG is gaining visibility in the c-store retails fuel product portfolio, Gilbarco announced plans to feature their new Encore CNG dispenser at the upcoming NACS show in Atlanta next week.

    Gilbarco touts the new dispenser as offering fuel retailers the opportunity to take advantage of higher retail fuel margins, and the increasing popularity of clean alternative fuels. Key aspects of overall customer satisfaction when customers move from traditional to alternative fuels include a familiar refueling experience, especially a comparable fill rate. The new Gilbarco Encore CNG dispenser offers both. And for the fuel retailer, the new Gilbarco Encore CNG dispenser provides a seamless upgrade path including integration with the forecourt controller, thereby integrating fully with existing payment and loyalty systems. PriceAdvantage SMART fuel software integrates with Gilbarco to provide full roundtrip confirmation that retail fuel prices have been changed at the POS, sign and pump.

    Last year at NACS we saw GE unveil the “CNG in a box” retail solution. Since then we have seen announcements of fuel retailers entering the CNG retail fuels market, and plans for CNG highways to be built. With the new Gilbarco CNG dispenser, one of the largest players in retail fuels adds to the mindshare and momentum of CNG.
