Gilbarco(R) Announces Latest Addition to Encore(R) Flex Fuel Product Line

GREENSBORO, NC--(Marketwire - May 3, 2012) - Gilbarco Veeder-Root announces the launch of the latest addition to the Encore^® Flex Fuel product line: the Encore® Multi-Hose Hybrid Blender, model NJ4, which presents fueling customers with five fuel choices. The NJ4 is the only dispenser that has a separate hose for mid-level ethanol, reducing the risk of mis-fueling and helping retailers meet regulatory requirements. Gilbarco's unique configuration allows retailers to maximize their product offering while minimizing the number of tanks needed.

"Gilbarco's Flex Fuel dispensers help retailers protect and enhance their brand," said Chad Johnson, Encore Marketing Manager for Gilbarco Veeder-Root. "Increasing consumer demand for ethanol and other alternative fuels allows Gilbarco to support our customers' profit growth goals. As a Growth Energy board member, we are proud to help build the nation's ethanol infrastructure."

Gilbarco Veeder-Root offers the industry's broadest range of fuel dispensers specifically designed for alternative fuels. All are approved by Underwriters Laboratories (UL) and the National Conference on Weights and Measures for up to E85 and covered by a two year warranty. The Flex Fuel dispensers are available with the same CRIND® options as other Encore models. Options include PCI and EMV-compliant payment systems and Applause™ TV for forecourt merchandising.
