The partnership brings location-based vehicle payment technology to 5,700+ Sunoco stations, enhancing customer experience through seamless, secure transactions

Sunoco LP (NYSE:SUN)

TYSONS CORNER, VA, UNITED STATES, April 9, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Sunoco LP (NYSE: SUN) and Sheeva.AI today announced a strategic partnership to enable the in-car SheevaConnect™ platform across Sunoco's network of more than 5,700 retail fuel outlets throughout North America.

This collaboration marks a significant advancement in connected vehicle services and mobile payments in the fuel retail industry.

The SheevaConnect™ platform uses patented precise geolocation technology to enable drivers to pay for fuel and access services directly via one touch of their vehicle’s infotainment screen without requiring any additional apps, QR codes or any extra hardware installed at fuel stations.

The technology identifies the exact pump position and automates the authorization and payment process, creating a frictionless experience for consumers.
"Our platform was designed to simplify and transform the way drivers interact with services like fueling while hitting the road," said Evgeny Klochikhin, CEO and Founder of Sheeva.AI. "Partnering with a leading energy network like Sunoco allows us to bring this technology to millions of drivers across North America.”

This expansion follows Sheeva.AI's successful deployment in India, where the company has partnered with Stellantis to enable fueling in Citroën C3 and Basalt vehicles. The company continues to add new services like EV charging, car washes, parking and tolls, and has mapped over 3 million service points around the world.

With this partnership, Klochikhin said it goes beyond just streamlining the fueling process. “We're revolutionizing the entire customer journey at these gas stations,” he said.

This seamless payments and rewards program will be available to thousands of drivers at Sunoco stations this summer. Sheeva.AI works with several automotive partners to have this technology implemented and available in over a million vehicles by the end of 2025.
