Sheeva.AI has unveiled its innovative in-vehicle payment technology, SheevaConnect, as part of the product suite for the Citroen C3 Aircross SUV AT. This solution marks the introduction of the first location-based platform for in-vehicle payments, offering secure, innovative, and frictionless customer experiences, the company shared.

Evgeny Klochikhin, CEO and founder of Sheeva.AI commented “We want to enable a simpler, more secure customer experience for in-vehicle services by using precise vehicle location to activate and authorise payments at the point of service.”

Klochikhin further announces that additional Sheeva.AI use cases, such as parking and tolling, will soon be available for Citroen owners.

The first Sheeva.AI-enabled Citroen C3 Aircross SUV AT vehicles are now available in showrooms across India. Sheeva.AI's innovative product suite is being rolled out globally, with over 2,000,000 service points – including fuel pumps, parking spaces, and EV chargers – mapped in the Sheeva.AI database.

As drivers approach a SheevaConnect-enabled petrol station, the seamless integration of Sheeva.AI technology allows users to complete transactions effortlessly using their preferred UPI provider through the MyCitroen Connect mobile app.

Upon arrival, attendants greet drivers, dispense fuel, and scan the QR code on their point-of-sale terminal, granting permission to proceed. After fueling, drivers can conveniently depart with a digital receipt securely processed through the MyCitroen Connect mobile app's interface.
