Results of the Showdown
Summary Findings
Piusi has a long and credible history of making high quality refuelling equipment. The MC Box is an aging legacy utility that just does not perform well compared to modern systems architecture. Fuellox has been designed from the ground up to capitalise on new IoT technology, modern smartphones and a new way of solving an old problem.
Fuellox has a range of powerful modern features and is a great choice for distributed sites, and businesses with multiple or portable tanks. Fuellox reduces the admin overheads that come with Fuel Management.
