15 February 2017 - #jaguar drivers can now use their car’s touchscreen to pay for fuel with a new cashless payment app.

The #shell app is one of several new enhancements to Jaguar’s #fpace, #xe and #xf models. Other updates include the introduction of the latest efficient Ingenium petrol and diesel engines and the addition of convenience features such as gesture technology where the sweep of a foot can open the boot.

Rather than using a card at the pump, or queuing in the forecourt shop, owners who install the #shell app can simply drive up to any pump at a #shell #service station (initially in the UK and then globally) and use the vehicle’s touchscreen to select how much fuel they require and pay using PayPal or Apple Pay. Android Pay will be added later in 2017.

An electronic receipt will be displayed on the touchscreen, so customers can leave the forecourt confident of having paid. A receipt will also be sent directly from the pump to the driver’s email address so it can be added to accounting or expenses software.

In a world where cash is no longer king, customers are increasingly using electronic payments and contactless cards. Making a payment directly from a car’s touchscreen will make refuelling quicker and easier. With this new system you can choose any pump on the forecourt and pay for the fuel even if you’ve forgotten your wallet or can’t find your credit or debit card.

You will save time because there’s no more queuing to pay in a shop, and for drivers with children, it won’t be necessary to wake them up, or unstrap them from their seats to take them into the shop. Expenses and tax returns will also be made much simpler, with no receipts to lose as these will all be sent electronically.

PETER VIRKDIRECTOR OF CONNECTED CAR AND FUTURE TECHNOLOGY

Unlike current phone-based payment methods, #shell and #jaguar Land Rover have created a simple but secure customer experience that uses geolocation technology and a cloud based pre-payment check with the Paypal or Apple Pay wallet.

As the world’s number one global fuels retailer, this e-commerce collaboration with #jaguar Land Rover is part of Shell’s commitment to continuously improve the digital experience for our customers at the forecourt. In 2015 #shell introduced mobile payments at the pump in the UK. Today we are proud to offer the next step in cashless motoring, with #jaguar and Land Rover customers in the UK paying for their fuel using the car’s touchscreen. With around 30 million customers every day, we have a mission to continuously find ways to make our customer’s journey’s better. We look forward to further exciting developments like this across our 43,000 sites around the world soon.

DAVID BUNCHGLOBAL VICE PRESIDENT #shell RETAIL MARKETING

The #shell app with in-car cashless payments will be available to download in the UK from 15 February and will be rolled out to additional markets globally during 2017.

We are working with leaders in e-commerce such as #shell to enable our customers to enjoy cashless motoring via their car’s touchscreen. Whether it’s paying for fuel, parking, tolls, or even at a drive-through restaurant, the aim of cashless motoring is to make life easier for our customers. Our technology allows users to put their phone away out of sight and use it via the touchscreen in the car, because as the car becomes more connected to the Internet of Things, we will always be guided by what is appropriate and safe to do while driving. So in-car payments would only be enabled when it is safe to do so, preventing unnecessary driver distractions.

2018 model year #jaguar #fpace, #xf and XE

The new in-car cashless payment app will be available across the enhanced #jaguar #fpace performance #suv, F-TYPE and #xf and #xe sports saloon model ranges, as well as the latest Land Rover models.

The enhancements to the 2018 model year (MY) #fpace include the introduction of an efficient new E-Performance diesel model with CO2 emissions as low as 126g/km and fuel economy of 59.2mpg (4.8 l/100km) on the combined cycle – meaning fewer refuelling stops altogether. In addition a high-output 240PS diesel and advanced new 250PS Ingenium petrol engine also join the line-up.

The potent 240PS diesel engine and new Ingenium petrol powerplant are also available in the #xf sports saloon, alongside a 200PS version of the new Ingenium petrol engine, blending traditional #jaguar performance with excellent efficiency.

For 2018MY, the #xe sports saloon is available with 200PS RWD automatic and 250PS RWD and AWD automatic derivatives of the new four-cylinder Ingenium petrol engine, giving customers greater choice than ever. Drivers looking for even more dynamic performance can opt for the upgraded #xe S, with its thrilling 380PS 3.0-litre V6 engine – up from 340PS – shared with the F-TYPE sports car.

Both the enhanced #xe and #xf sports saloons are available with Gesture Boot Lid functionality, making loading and unloading more convenient, while Jaguar’s Configurable Dynamics technology is introduced as a standalone feature on both vehicles, allowing drivers to personalise the gearshift, throttle response and steering settings.

A virtual 12.3-inch TFT instrument cluster with full-screen 3D navigation and the availability of Dual View touchscreen technology also provides customers with added convenience as part of the updates.
