EPPCO/ENOC Launches Innovative ViP System for Hassle-Free Refueling

Introduction to the ViP System

EPPCO/ENOC has launched the smart system for customers to refuel their cars. This system is designed to provide a hassle-free way to fuel vehicles and reduce the overall time spent by drivers at petrol stations. The company aims to minimize traffic caused at pumps due to delays in transactions.

What is the ViP System?

Known as ViP (Vehicle Identification Pass), this system is a completely automated and paperless solution that eliminates the need for cash, fuel cards, or receipts. Vehicle owners simply need to:

• Drive into the service station
• Refuel with the help of an attendant
• Drive off with ease

How Does ViP Work?

The ViP system utilizes an innovative technology comprising a securely encoded electronic security tag mounted near the fuel tanks. This technology allows the nozzle to:

• Automatically recognize the fueling preferences set by individuals for their cars
• Calculate the amount of fuel dispensed
• Deduct the amount automatically from the individual’s ViP account

This automation significantly speeds up the refueling process and enables customers to better manage their accounts and set budgets for each fueling transaction.

Availability of ViP Smart Tag

All 112 stations within the ENOC/EPPCO network offer a one-stop shop where customers can:

• Purchase the ViP smart tag
• Get it installed on their vehicle

The ViP package is priced at AED 250/unit. To register for ViP, customers need to provide the following documents:

• Emirates ID for residents or passport copies for visitors
• The vehicle registration card

Benefits Experienced by Corporate Customers

Burhan Al Hashemi, Managing Director of ENOC Retail, stated:

“Since we launched ViP for corporate customers two years ago, over 75,000 commercial vehicles, including 8,000 taxis, have benefited from this technology. Over 3,000 of our commercial customers have saved four to six percent annually on their fuel expenses and reduced waiting time at the stations, thus increasing their operational efficiency.”
