On Track Innovations Ltd, (OTI) today announced that Chevron Corporation , has chosen OTI to be the provider of its EasyFuel petroleum payment and automated fuel management system. EasyFuel provides oil companies with the ability to sign long term contracts with fleets, assuring the correct grade and amount of fuel is dispensed into an authenticated fuel tank and provides loyalty and contactless payment solution for both retail and commercial customers. Chevron will firstly implement the system in Cameroon and expects to commission the system in additional countries. OTI is a global leader in contactless microprocessor-based smart card solutions, for homeland security, payments, petroleum payments and other applications. Chevron Corporation is one of the world’s leading energy companies.

Chevron is implementing the system initially in Cameroon by establishing a network of EasyFuel service stations. Customers will benefit from utilizing a system that eliminates fraud and offers security, convenience and functionality. Critical information such as odometer and/or engine hour readings are automatically captured providing fleet managers with quality information enabling them to manage fuel consumption effectively. The first service stations have already been commissioned.

“We are excited to expand our fleet management solutions based on OTI’s EasyFuel product,” said Richard Chapman for the Chevron Corporation. “After the successful integration of the EasyFuel technology into our fuel automation systems, we realized that EasyFuel gives our customers a reliable and cost effective way to save costs and increase efficiency in operations.” He continued, “Initial results of the pilot program have provided our customer with remarkable savings in fuel costs. The existing network of EasyFuel equipped sites will be expanded in Cameroon to provide greater coverage and convenience and plans are at an advanced stage to implement similar fleet management solutions across the rest of Africa and into selected markets in Asia.”

Oded Bashan, President & CEO, OTI, stated, “EasyFuel is about increasing loyalty for Chevron stations while eliminating fraud and increasing the efficiencies of fleet management. This contract underscores the success we have achieved with EasyFuel worldwide. This is another example of why important and influential companies are working with OTI to adopt contactless payment solutions across a wide range of industries globally. Our customers benefit by leveraging OTI’s technology for multiple applications, including loyalty programs, increased retail purchases and improved security, thereby benefiting both consumers and retailers.”

EasyFuel wireless solution is an easy, quick and cost-effective installations, minimum maintenance and fast turn around at the pump. The EasyFuel system has built-in benefits for oil companies, commercial fleet operators, financial institutions, and private motorists. The oil companies build loyalty with fleet companies via long-term contracts, as well as with private motorists. The OTI solutions are easily integrated into existing hardware and software systems. The system allows for 24-hour non-attendant sales, as well as greater in-store purchases. Fleet companies eliminate non- authorized fueling and receive comprehensive billing and detailed operating information. The financial institutions benefit from new transaction fees and greater cash flows. Retail customers receive 24-hour, fast, cashless service and loyalty program rewards.
