Rail and Transportation Sector
At Fueltek, we know the critical role fuel plays in keeping transport and rail businesses moving. Whether managing a fleet of commercial vehicles or overseeing rail operations, efficient fuel management is essential to ensure smooth, cost-effective operations. That is why our tailored fuel management packages provide a complete solution, allowing you to store, monitor, and dispense fuel onsite, ensuring you always have access when and where you need it most.
Why Onsite Fuel Management for Transport and Rail?
Fuel management systems are more than just ensuring availability – it is about driving efficiency, reducing costs, and securing your fuel assets. Here’s how Fueltek’s systems can make a difference in your transport or rail business:
Fuel Savings Through Bulk Purchases
In the transport and rail sectors, fuel costs are a major part of your operating budget. By installing bunded fuel tanks, your business can purchase fuel in bulk at wholesale rates, bypassing the higher costs typically found at public fuel stations. This not only allows for cost savings on each litre of fuel but also ensures a consistent supply, reducing downtime caused by fuel shortages.
For transport companies with a large fleet of trucks, buses, or coaches, having an onsite fuel solution reduces the need for vehicles to divert to refuelling stations, keeping them on their routes and maximising efficiency. Similarly, for rail operators managing diesel-powered trains, onsite fuel tanks positioned at key depots or maintenance facilities ensure that refuelling is streamlined, cutting the time trains spend out of service.
Digital Fuel Monitoring for Precision
Managing fuel for a vast fleet or multiple rail assets requires precision and oversight. Our fuel monitoring software systems provide real-time monitoring of fuel usage, fuel levels, and even vehicle-specific data. With our systems, you can track consumption across all vehicles, monitor tanks remotely, and generate detailed reports to identify inefficiencies.
For instance, a bus depot can track fuel consumption per bus, identifying any deviations that could indicate inefficient driving or potential fuel theft. Rail companies can monitor refuelling across several stations, ensuring diesel engines are efficiently fuelled without waste or downtime.
Enhanced Efficiency with Onsite Fuel Dispensing
In both the transport and rail industries, downtime directly impacts your ability to operate effectively. Installing our onsite fuel storage and dispensing systems allows your fleet to refuel on demand, minimising the time spent travelling to offsite locations for fuel.
For transport businesses, this means your trucks, buses, or vans can refuel at your depot before heading out for the day or between routes, reducing the operational delays associated with offsite refuelling. For rail companies, onsite fuel dispensing at depots ensures that refuelling is completed efficiently during scheduled stops, allowing trains to stay on track without lengthy delays.
Secure Fuel Storage and Monitoring
Fuel security is crucial for large businesses, especially when storing fuel onsite. Our bunded fuel tanks are engineered to provide superior protection, with leak-proof containment to prevent spills and advanced security measures to safeguard against theft or unauthorised access.
For example, a large logistics company could use driver-specific data tags, ensuring that only authorised personnel access the fuel pumps. Similarly, rail operators can employ vehicle recognition technology to restrict fuel dispensing to designated locomotives, minimising wastage and protecting valuable fuel supplies.
Environmentally Friendly Fuel Solutions
As businesses strive to meet environmental targets, Fueltek offers eco-friendly options to help reduce your carbon footprint. Our bunded tanks are compatible with alternative fuels such as HVO and GTL, and we also supply AdBlue tanks for diesel vehicles, ensuring compliance with emissions regulations.
For transport fleets, this means you can store and dispense cleaner fuels for your trucks or buses, reducing emissions across your operations. Rail operators can also integrate eco-friendly fuel solutions into their diesel fleets, contributing to a greener industry.
