The Global Ovation iX dispenser includes many elements that support the customer service objectives. The iX Technology Platform, with the iX Media 10.4 inch, in-dispenser color digital screen, enables St1 to offer educational videos about St1 Refuel RE85 ethanol and the company's eco-friendly mission and philosophy during the fueling experience.
