Drivers of Å koda ICE vehicles in Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Germany, Luxembourg and Switzerland can now make contactless in-car payments for fuel directly through their dashboard touchscreen using the vehicle manufacturerâs Pay to Fuel service.
The Czech-based vehicle manufacturer is rolling out the Pay to Fuel solution for use with its Amundsen or Columbus infotainment systems and MyÅ koda app in addition to its existing Pay to Park in-vehicle parking payments service.
âThe stations supporting Pay to Fuel are listed in the in-car navigation,â Å koda explains.
âAfter choosing one of these, the vehicle automatically recognises the fuel station upon arrival. The driver opens the app on the vehicleâs display, confirms the petrol station and enters the pump number.â
âAfter refuelling, the amount of fuel is confirmed on the infotainment screen and the payment is processed via debit or credit card. All common cards are accepted. The driver then receives a transaction notification in the MyÅ koda app and on the vehicle screen and can pull away.â
A short video shows how the service works:
Following the rollout in these first six European markets, Å koda plans to launch the service in Portugal, Spain and the Czech Republic âsoonâ.
Hyundai launched contactless in-vehicle payments in the US in September and Mercedes extended its in-car parking payments service to Europe in May.
