Case
TSG Italy was responsible for delivering a turnkey project of an independent service station in a commercial area in Italy. The project comprised the installation of traditional fuel dispenses, LPG dispensers, a car wash system and electric vehicle (EV) chargers.
End-to-end installation of a multi-energy service station
The Magnone service station is located in the municipality of Castelnuovo Don Bosco, in the province of Asti, close to Turin. It stands near a homonymous commercial centre. It is owned by a private and independent company, which recognised the potential business opportunities in the area.
TSG Italy took care of the design and construction of the site, after careful planning made in collaboration with the station owner.
The Magnone station comprises a full suite of products and services delivered and installed by TSG, and is an excellent example of the multitude of solutions that our teams perform. Included in the equipment are Quantium 510 dispensers by Tokheim with multimedia displays and a payment system, a Kärcher’s gantry car wash and EV charging infrastructure with CirControl chargers.
Dispensers available for traditional fuels and LPG
The Magnone service station counts with two Quantium 510 multiproduct dispensers with six retractable hoses for a fast refuelling experience (Petrol-Diesel-Diesel) and one combined dispenser 4/8 (Petrol-Diesel-Diesel-LPG). Every fuel dispenser has a multimedia display to show promotional images and videos with top-quality imagery, supporting cross-selling.
The dispensers include a Crypto VGA ™ payment system with touchscreen technology that guides the customer clearly through the transaction process. The payment process is simple, effective and highly secure. An integrated privacy shield, with anti-tamper and anti-skimming devices, helps to deter fraud attempts.
Adjacent, convenient services: car wash solutions
Magnone’s site contains a wide vehicle washing area with the CB 3 Kärcher car wash. This gantry car wash solution is essential for customers who look for maximum washing results for their vehicles. The CB 3 Kärcher car wash uses innovative technology connected to the Kärcher Fleet Management, the professional fleet management system for cleaning. The specific system, Rawa 2.0, allows an optimal cleaning of car wheel rims. Three brushes with different diameters reach the most hidden and difficult parts of the wheels, providing a high-level cleaning.
The washing facility is a multi-lane, modular self-service area for cleaning the exterior of vehicles. At the same time, it also provides solutions for interior car cleaning, with two Kärcher self-service vacuum cleaners that offer strong and constant suction power. The filter area of this product is 50% larger than similar machines on the market. Customers can also clean their car mats with an specific washing system from Kärcher.

New energy solutions at the forecourt
The Magnone station is also an important spot for EV drivers, as it provides an efficient CirControl charging system. The delivered power is 22 kW by socket (quick charger), which potentially could guarantee a refill of the vehicle in 40 minutes. The charging point is near a commercial area, and this conveniently allows EV owners to charge their vehicles while performing other activities.
