New Delhi: Sheeva.AI has introduced in-vehicle payment technology through SheevaConnect product suite for Citroën C3 Aircross SUV AT, a budget-friendly automatic midsize SUV in India.
The in-vehicle payments technology will allow the new Citroën C3 Aircross AT owners to pay for fuel at 32,000 fuelling stations across India.
“We’re very excited to see our technology comes to life for Citroen drivers in India. We want to enable a simpler, more secure customer experience for in-vehicle services by using precise vehicle location to activate and authorize payments at the point of service,” Evgeny Klochikhin, CEO and founder of Sheeva.AI, said.
“Other Sheeva.AI use cases, like parking and tolling, are coming soon for Citroën owners,” he added.
The first Sheeva.AI-enabled Citroën C3 Aircross SUV AT vehicles are now available in showrooms across India. Sheeva.AI’s innovative product suite is currently rolling out globally with over 2,000,000 service points – including fuel pumps, parking spaces, and EV chargers – mapped in the Sheeva.AI database.
Here’s how it works: A person drives up to a SheevaConnect-enabled petrol station. With Sheeva.AI technology seamlessly integrated, users can effortlessly complete transactions using their preferred UPI provider through the MyCitroën Connect mobile app, the company said in a media release.
Upon arrival, drivers are greeted by attendants who dispense fuel and swiftly scan the QR code on their point-of-sale terminal, granting permission to proceed. Following fueling, drivers can conveniently depart with a digital receipt securely processed through the MyCitroën Connect mobile app’s interface.
Sheeva.AI’s in-car payments and commerce solution introduces vehicle location-based services to monetize the driver experience. Using a patented precise geo-location technology, drivers seamlessly pay for and receive services such as fuelling, EV charging, parking, curb-side pickup and drive-through via their car’s IVI screen, the release added.
