The addition of Driivz to GVR’s existing solutions portfolio enables comprehensive software management for the driver, operator, and energy optimization. GVR will offer the Driivz platform as part of its e-Mobility solutions. “Gilbarco Veeder-Root is a trusted partner with a foundation in commercial and retail fueling, combined with local presence in global markets. GVR’s investment in Driivz further validates Driivz’s technological leadership in the EV space.
