Dover Fueling Solutions (DFS), a leading provider of advanced energy dispensing equipment and automation solutions, has announced a significant collaboration with Ardova Plc to modernize fuel retail across Nigeria. The partnership involves upgrading 1,000 pumps in Ardova's retail network with DFS Automation Solutions, including the DFS Fusion® Automation Server Version 3, and installing Tokheim Quantium® fuel dispensers across hundreds of stations.
