Gilbarco® exhibits world’s first fully integrated retail hydrogen dispenser Complements industry’s most comprehensive line of dispensers for alternative fuels

GREENSBORO, NC – November 7, 2007 – Gilbarco exhibits the world’s first hydrogen retail dispenser with integrated payment at the National Association of Convenience Stores (NACS) Show November 7 – 9 at the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta. The hydrogen dispenser is part of Gilbarco’s popular Encore® S series dispenser line, which already features the industry’s most comprehensive line-up of models for alternative fuels such as E85, Bio-diesel, CNG and LPG. The Gilbarco dispenser is designed to support the growing number of vehicles that use hydrogen as fuel, and those that will result from the $1.7 billion the U.S. government plans to invest in development.

"Gilbarco Veeder-Root is proud to be leading the market in delivery of alternative fuels. We believe hydrogen has great potential over the coming years, and our development of a dispenser reflects our commitment to meeting the needs of the market," said Rob Bondos, marketing manager for Gilbarco Veeder-Root.

The hydrogen model features the same field-proven Gilbarco electronics, which support state-of-the-art payment, security and merchandising systems used on the company’s other leading models. In addition, the hydrogen model features the same durable exterior finishes, familiar customer interface and appearance. In addition, this hydrogen dispenser is adapted with special piping, nozzles, putdowns, hoses and manifold to accommodate compressed hydrogen (H2) fuels.

Hydrogen is readily available, renewable, and can be created anywhere in the world. Gilbarco’s hydrogen dispenser is currently on exhibit at the 2007 NACS Show, November 7 – 9, at the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta, Booth 2525.
