Q8 and Tokheim partner to develop the world’s third largest service station

Tokheim is proud to announce that it was selected as a partner of Q8 to develop one of the world’s largest ever service stations. Built across 7 hectares (equal to 7 football pitches), the site in Capellen, Luxembourg, is officially the world’s third largest motorway service station. It delivers more than a staggering 100 million litres of fuel per annum via Tokheim’s Quantium dispensers.

Tokheim was selected by Q8 to supply and install a range of fuel dispensers, systems and payment terminals on the mega-site. In total, Tokheim installed 41 Quantium fuel dispensers including multi-product, high-speed, AdBlue® and LPG dispensers. Tokheim also installed six Fuel POS systems, which link to Tokheim’s host service, OASE, handling all credit/debit and applicable fuel cards. Ten Crypto VGA terminals have been installed to handle outdoor payment via an intuitive touchscreen interface. Tokheim staff successfully carried out all installation work in just 85 hours.

Motorway service stations in Luxembourg are well-known stops for tourists, since filling up the tank in Luxembourg is generally more advantageous in price than in other European countries. The new Q8 branded station on the E25 highway will not only meet price related expectations of customers, but will also ‘ease the journey’ for motorists who are looking a 24-hours a day full service petrol station that offers complete services.

“We are of course very proud of the fact that the Q8 flag is now flying over the third-largest service station in the world,” says Azzam Al Mutawa, Managing Director Kuwait Petroleum North West Europe. “This opening certainly represents a major step in our development strategy in the Benelux. We will continue to strive for growth and profitability and we always aim to provide our customers with high quality products and a superior service.
