Eolo: A Unique Tires Inflator Kit by BALKO ARGENTINA S.A.

Bringing Convenience and Style to Car and Bike Owners

An Easy-to-Use Solution Inspired by AXION Energy

BALKO ARGENTINA S.A. presents Eolo, a revolutionary tires inflator kit designed to provide convenience and style to car and bike owners. Inspired by the color and curved lines of the AXION Energy brand and its unique gas station architecture, Eolo stands out as a functional and aesthetically pleasing addition to any gas station or public space.

What sets Eolo apart from other tires inflator kits is its focus on usability and durability. Designed with car drivers and bikers in mind, Eolo offers a hassle-free experience. The kit is made from durable materials such as sheet metal and stainless steel, ensuring its longevity and easy implementation in various locations. The kits are also coated with rust-proof paint, giving them a sleek and polished finish.

The Eolo tires inflator kit comes in two versions: one for bikes and one for cars. The bike tires inflator features two mounts that allow bikers to securely place their bikes, while one of the wheels rests firmly on the floor. This design ensures a comfortable operation of the hose on the opposite wheel. On the other hand, the car tires inflator boasts a neat retractable hose and a large LED meter, making it easy for car owners to monitor and adjust the tire pressure.

The Eolo project was implemented at the AXION Energy Alvear Gas Station, located in the exclusive area of Libertador Avenue and Jerónimo Salguero street in Buenos Aires, Argentina. The development and implementation of the project took a total of 8 months, showcasing the dedication and attention to detail put into creating this innovative solution.

Extensive research went into the design process of Eolo, taking into account the aesthetic characteristics of AXION Energy gas stations and incorporating concepts from automotive design, such as aerodynamics and ergonomics. The main challenge was to adequately represent the identity of the AXION Energy brand while creating a functional and user-friendly product.

Eolo has received recognition for its outstanding design and technical excellence. In 2019, it was awarded the Bronze A' Design Award in the Product Engineering and Technical Design category. This prestigious award acknowledges designs that exhibit strong technical and creative skills, contributing to improvements in quality of life and making the world a better place.

With Eolo, BALKO ARGENTINA S.A. has successfully combined functionality, durability, and style, offering a broad range of customer-oriented services. These free-to-use inflators not only serve as a practical solution for car and bike owners but also enhance the overall brand image of AXION Energy gas stations.
