FAQ

Procurement Questions

Are AoCheng and Gilbarco direct competitors in fuel dispensers?
Overlap exists in the dispenser hardware category only. AoCheng supplies standalone fuel dispensing equipment to OEMs, fleet operators, and industrial buyers; Gilbarco sells an integrated retail forecourt platform where the dispenser is bundled with POS, EMV payment, and tank monitoring.
What certifications do AoCheng fuel dispensers carry?
CE, OIML R117, and ATEX (Zone 1 / Zone 2). Model-specific certification documents are available on request — submit an inquiry with the model reference and destination country.
Can AoCheng supply OEM and private-label fuel dispensers?
Yes — custom flow rates, non-standard ports, alternative wetted materials, and private-label branding are all available under OEM / ODM contract. Suitable for distributors, rental operators, and integrators building proprietary product lines.
What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ)?
MOQ varies by model and configuration. AoCheng accepts sample orders for evaluation and large-volume wholesale shipments. Submit an inquiry with your model, quantity, and delivery destination for a written MOQ and tiered pricing schedule.
How does AoCheng pricing compare to Gilbarco?
AoCheng is factory-direct with no distributor markup and no software licensing fees — significantly lower CapEx and OpEx for industrial buyers. Gilbarco's TCO includes mandatory POS/EMV licensing and service contracts, justified only when the full retail forecourt system is required.
Which is better for emerging market procurement?
AoCheng — CE / OIML / ATEX certified, 120+ country export track record, flexible MOQ, and full export documentation (HS codes, datasheets) included. Gilbarco's authorized dealer coverage is limited in many developing markets.
