Gilbarco Veeder-Root fully charged to deliver electric vehicle charging solutions to Europe’s forecourts

In October 2018 Gilbarco Veeder-Root, a Fortive Corporation (“Fortive”) business, announced that it had made a minority investment in Tritium, a privately held EV charger manufacturer, to help the retail fueling technologies business meet progressive customer needs in the face of the e-mobility revolution.

Speaking at the time, Martin Gafinowitz, Senior Vice President of Fortive, stated, “Our partnership with Tritium is the logical next step in our long history of evolving the Gilbarco Veeder-Root business portfolio to address progressive customer needs.  This investment provides early and judicious entry into a market with a growing need for rapid charging, which is one of the top barriers to EV purchase.’’

Eric Denivelle, e-mobility Business Director for Gilbarco Veeder-Root Europe, speaking of the industry’s positive reaction to the partnership, stated ‘‘petroleum retailers across Europe have really welcomed our new partnership, recognizing the significant value in having a trusted and experienced supplier in the petroleum retail business partnering with a leading manufacturer in the EV charging technology domain.’’

Sales of the bestselling Veefil-RT 50kW DC Fast Charger have got off to a strong start in the first quarter of 2019, with orders already placed from Italy, the Netherlands and Saudi Arabia, and installations beginning in March.

More sales are undoubtedly on the horizon, with the Veefil-RT’s promotional season fully kicking off in March.  Gilbarco Veeder-Root are confirmed to showcase the latest in EV charging solutions at a host of events across Europe – current schedule available below.

For forecourt owners, the advantages offered by the Veefil-RT for petrol forecourts are clear.  As the world’s smallest footprint DC fast charger, the Veefil-RT is easy and quick to install, even where space is limited. Featuring patented liquid cooling technology and IP65 protected electronics, it is designed for optimal and long-lasting performance with the lowest maintenance, even in extreme conditions. The Veefil-RT, with its award winning design also delivers on kerb appeal, with a wealth of custom branding options for seamless and stylish integration into any forecourt.
