Rotec Engineering LNG Autonomous Fuelling System
Autonomous robotic fuelling system for trucks running on liquefied natural gas (LNG).
Rotec Engineering's LNG Autonomous Fuelling System was developed within an EU-sponsored LNG pilots project, for autonomous fuelling of trucks along roads. The driver parks the truck in a target zone; an RFID tag identifies the customer and fuelling starts automatically. A six-axis industrial robot in a compact, transportable frame fits existing fuelling islands and serves both sides. A vision system recognises the receiver on the LNG tank, and the driver can watch via live cameras and stop remotely. Availability in the Netherlands has not been confirmed.
