BP introduce personality pump in New York

BP announced it will introduce new, highly interactive fuel pumps at a few sites in New York City and Chicago in an effort to liven up filling up.

Named “Miles,” the new BP Personality Pump uses a proprietary interactive technology to audibly greet consumers and initiate the fueling experience. While filling up, consumers can select music on Pandora, record a video e-card to share on social media sites or play music trivia. Miles processes responses in real-time through a touchscreen tablet and guides consumers through a wide array of entertainment options.

“The BP Personality Pump is one of the biggest innovations at U.S. retail fueling stations in many years,” said Donna Sanker, chief marketing officer of BP Fuels North America, in a press release. “We believe this technology could change the way people think about the typical fill-up and give consumers another reason to visit our stations.”
