Nayax deploys RFID powered OTI PetroSmart fuel management system in Tesco delivery truck fleet

Nayax is to deploy EasyFuelPlus, a fuel management system, by OTI PetroSmart, across the UK alongside its local partner, OTS Group, for Tesco.

Using RFID technology, EasyFuelPlus dispenses the exact fuel grade and volume needed for each vehicle, collects odometer and engine hour data to track fuel efficiency, and delivers real-time insights for operators via the OTI-PetroSmart by Nayax cloud-based FuelReporter platform.

OTS Group expects to install EasyFuelPlus across 14 Tesco distribution centre in the UK and more than 5,000 vehicles by early 2026. The technology will be implemented across Tesco’s UK fleet of tractor units, refrigerated trailers, box trucks, delivery vans, lorries, and diverse industrial vehicles, tapping EasyFuelPlus’ ability to integrate with existing fleet management solutions.

“We’re proud to see EasyFuelPlus driving real change at Tesco,” says Charlotte Hambly-Nuss, Managing Director at OTI PetroSmart. “Our technology is cutting costs, automating essential processes, and supporting a more sustainable fuel strategy for its diverse fleet thanks to our innovative solutions that are enriched by Nayax’s decades of experience in the payments management space.”

2024 RTIH INNOVATION AWARDS

RFID technology was a key focus area at the sixth edition of the RTIH Innovation Awards.

The awards, sponsored by Vista Technology Support, Scala, CADS, 3D Cloud, Brightpearl by Sage’s Lightning 50, Business France, and Retail Technology Show 2025, celebrate global tech innovation in a fast moving omnichannel world.

Our 2024 hall of fame entrants were revealed during an event which took place at RIBA’s 66 Portland Place HQ in Central London on 21st November, and consisted of a drinks reception, three course meal, and awards ceremony presided over by comedian Lucy Porter.

In his welcome speech, Scott Thompson, Founder and Editor, RTIH, said: “The event is now into its sixth year and what a journey it has been. The awards started life as an online only affair during the Covid outbreak, before launching as a small scale in real life event and growing year on year to the point where we’re now selling out this fine, historic venue.”

He added: “Congratulations to all of our finalists. Many submissions did not make it through to the final stage, and getting to this point is no mean feat. Checkout-free stores, automated supply chains, immersive experiences, on-demand delivery, next generation loyalty offerings, inclusive retail, green technology. We’ve got all the cool stuff covered this evening.”

“But just importantly we’ve got lots of great examples of companies taking innovative tech and making it usable in everyday operations - resulting in more efficiency and profitability in all areas.”

Congratulations to our 2024 winners, and a big thank you to our sponsors, judging panel, the legend that is Lucy Porter, and all those who attended last month’s gathering.
