Case
Shell Cobham
In September 2012, Shell opened the UK’s largest ever service station, with TSG selected as the fuel dispenser supplier for the pioneering site. The Cobham Service Area is situated on the M25 motorway in Surrey, England. With a staggering 24 fuel dispensers – comprising standard fuel, LPG, HGV diesel and AdBlue®, totalling 158 nozzles – the site in Surrey can serve around 3,400 vehicles a day. TSG is proud to be Shell’s partner for the project, with Tokheim’s Quantium dispenser range helping to supply fuel to some of the 150,000 vehicles that travel on the M25 motorway every day.
A range of options
The launch of Shell Cobham was part of a major investment programme for Shell, which has seen the company commit to providing high-quality fuels to more motorists in the UK. The range of dispensers supplied by Tokheim includes the industry-renowned Quantium 510 multi-product dispensers, featuring electronic vapour recovery and variable speed settings; high-speed Quantium 510 dispensers; a Quantium 510 LPG combo dispenser; and a number of Quantium AdBlue® tank and fuel dispenser combos.
Tokheim and Shell global agreement
Bill Arundel, Sales and Marketing Director at Tokheim, says that the company is proud to be involved in such a large UK project, as part of its global agreement to supply fuel dispensers, retail automation solutions, and service and maintenance to Shell petrol stations. He says, “It is fantastic to see Shell’s commitment to providing better services to customers in this area; naturally, we are very pleased to have been chosen as the supplier for this project and for Shell projects further afield. Our commitment to quality in manufacturing and our ability to support our clients locally have proven to be qualities that are clearly valued by the market.”

The world’s largest service station projects
TSG’s dispenser, payment and service solutions have been an integral part of some of the world’s largest service stations, including the Shell Berchem site in Luxembourg. Bill Arundel says, “It is certainly a positive sign when our solutions are chosen for large-scale projects such as this one in the UK, but that does not really reflect the variety of projects we are involved in on a daily basis. For instance, around a third of our business comes from independent retailers across the globe. The remainder of our client base comprises a mix of major and national oil companies and hypermarkets. We offer an extensive range of project management, dispensing, systems and service solutions from which all our customers can choose.”
