Bentley has announced a collaborative trial with an innovative American technology start-up, Filld, a mobile app-based fuel-delivery service.

The app-based ‘Filld for Bentley’ service will initially be available to customers in California, affording owners the ultimate time-saving luxury of never having to search for or stop at a filling station again. In a first for Bentley customers, all owners will need to do is simply open the Filld for Bentley app, choose a delivery time, and their fuel will be delivered wherever and whenever they require.

This first-ever Connected Car integration means that customers don’t even need to unlock the fuel cap themselves, or identify the car’s exact location, as this is done for them securely through the Filld for Bentley service. These ground-breaking Filld fuel-delivery services provide Bentley drivers with an unparalleled level of convenience.

Bentley’s Director of Product and Marketing, Christophe Georges, said, “Bentley ownership is about more than just the vehicle, it’s the entire luxury experience. We are continuously investigating ways in which to offer our customers tailored, convenient, smart services that afford them the greatest luxury of all, more time.”

Cofounder and CTO of Filld, Christopher Aubuchon, added, “Filld and Bentley share a vision for leveraging powerful connected car technology, to one day eliminate the need for customers to refuel their cars themselves, removing inconvenience, and giving them more of their valuable time back.”
