Refuel Made Easy: New payment options at over 7,000 petrol stations in Europe

The way in which drivers pay their tank fillings in Europe has changed fundamentally. From now on it is possible to pay contact with the ACE app at over 7,000 petrol stations across Europe. This step is not only a technical innovation, but also reflects a social trend towards more usability and flexibility.

The ACE (Automobil Club Europe), as a mobility companion, has integrated the new function of the so-called "Connected Fueling" into the already popular ACE app in cooperation with the technology partner Pace Telematics. This technology enables you to pay directly at the petrol pump - without the effort to go to the treasurer.

Functionality and accessibility

The new payment options are accessible to drivers in eight European countries: These include Belgium, Denmark, Germany, France, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands and Austria. It should be emphasized that the largest mineral oil companies in Germany, like Esso, Jet and Q1, are part of this new system. This shows the broader acceptance and integration of modern payment methods in the gasoline market.

In order to make the gradual introduction efficiently, users only need a one-time registration in the ACE app. This creates a hurdle for starting and facilitating access to the new functions.

A wide range of payment methods

The ACE app supports various payment methods, including credit cards such as American Express, MasterCard and Visa, as well as uncomplicated options such as Google Pay, Apple Pay and PayPal. This variety should make the payment process as straightforward as possible and meet the different preferences of the users.

Manuela Stauch, head of the Digital Marketing at the ACE, expresses an optimistic manner of this new service: "We are pleased to offer our users a convenient opportunity to pay at petrol stations. Cooperation with Pace Telematics was crucial for the implementation of this function." This shows that the cooperation between mobility and technology will shape the future of car driving.

A look into the future

With the constant expansion of the "Connected Fueling" area, the ACE app will probably be available at 9,000 petrol stations by the end of the year. This is a clear signal that the demand for modernized and comfortable payment methods continues to increase in daily mobility. The implementation of such functionalities not only offers a relief for individuals, but also has the potential to change the entire automotive market in Europe.

Overall, the introduction of this innovative payment method shows how technological progress can influence the everyday life of people and is important for future -oriented mobility. The ACE app not only creates new payment options, but also promotes a modern, networked life for drivers.
