Sunoco has announced a new partnership with Sheeva.AI to enable the in-car SheevaConnect platform across its network of more than 5,700 retail fuel outlets across North America. The collaboration marks a significant advancement in connected vehicle services and mobile payments in the fuel retail industry.
The SheevaConnect platform uses patented geolocation technology to enable drivers to pay for fuel and access services directly via one touch of their vehicle’s infotainment screen without requiring any additional apps, QR codes or any extra hardware installed at fuel stations.
The technology identifies the exact pump position and automates the authorization and payment process, creating a frictionless experience for consumers.
“Our platform was designed to simplify and transform the way drivers interact with services like fueling while hitting the road,” said Evgeny Klochikhin, CEO and founder of Sheeva.AI. “Partnering with a leading energy network like Sunoco allows us to bring this technology to millions of drivers across North America.”
This seamless payments and rewards program will be available to thousands of drivers at Sunoco stations this summer. Sheeva.AI works with several automotive partners to have this technology implemented and available in over a million vehicles by the end of 2025.
Sunoco is a leading energy infrastructure and fuel distribution master limited partnership operating in over 40 U.S. states, Puerto Rico, Europe and Mexico. Its midstream operations include an extensive network of approximately 14,000 miles of pipeline and over 100 terminals.
