WALLDORF, Germany, July 1, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- SAP NEWSBYTE — SAP AG SAP +0.01% today announced a co-innovation project with Toyota InfoTechnology Center USA (Toyota ITC) and VeriFone PAY +0.03% that will help dramatically simplify drivers' fueling experience. Currently, drivers need to deal with multiple systems to find "the right" gas stations. When they arrive, drivers must authorize payment by swiping a card and punching in various identification codes, or paying the gas station attendant with cash. With the prototype, consumers can use a one-touch, one-screen solution to navigate to the closest gas station, authorize automatic payment electronically and receive personalized coupons.
