[ULM, GERMANY] – September 1, 2025
A world-leading premium automotive manufacturer has officially launched its integrated in-car payment system for its upcoming vehicle generation. This milestone marks a significant shift in how digital and physical services around the vehicle are consumed and billed. By integrating Hellgate’s core infrastructure, the manufacturer enables its customers to pay for everything from charging and parking to "features on demand" directly from the dashboard.
"With this new vehicle generation, our partners are redefining what a car can be. Hellgate provides the financial heart of this digital transformation by orchestrating complex network tokens across the entire ecosystem," says Jens Kohnen, Co-Founder of Hellgate.
