The developing world expects mobility and smart solutions. It is about adapting quickly and flexibly to changing conditions, while maintaining comfort, efficiency and functionality, while saving valuable tangible and intangible resources. We have evolved from very stationary local communities to a society living in a ‘global village’ where we move in all directions using a variety of water, land and air transport modes. We are developing industry, adopting new technologies, changing the agricultural model, and embracing tourism and leisure. To do this, we need to continue to develop the infrastructure that allows us to access fuel easily and quickly.
According to 2019 figures, there are around 150,000 petrol stations in Europe alone. Despite the growing popularity of electric vehicles, there is still a need for traditional petrol stations. The investment required to build this type of infrastructure is not feasible in all locations or under all conditions. In such situations, portable fuel stations become an alternative solution, offering a number of advantages that enable global logistical and environmental challenges to be successfully met.
Applications for portable fuel stations
Portable fuel stations (both cylindrical and containerized) have a number of advantages that make them extremely versatile products. This allows them to help solve specific problems that arise on a daily basis in different sectors and industries. Here are some examples of how portable fuel stations are used in the modern world.
| Application | Benefit | Problem solved |
|---|---|---|
| Remote and inaccessible locations, e.g. areas with an unfavorable geological structure, areas in a climatic zone with high weather variability and unfavorable conditions, sparsely populated areas with poorly developed infrastructure, regions affected by natural disasters, etc. | Access to fuel is also guaranteed where the construction of traditional fuel stations is impossible or uneconomical, or where the network of fuel stations is insufficient to meet demand. |
|
| Construction sites and infrastructure projects (e.g. related to the construction and upgrading of roads and motorways), where equipment and machinery need to be constantly moved. | With the ability to quickly relocate mobile stations, fuel is always available where work is being carried out. |
|
| Industrial sector (e.g. companies with a large fleet of vehicles) and agricultural sector (e.g. plantations, large farms) | Lower operating costs and increased productivity. |
|
| Tourist areas off the beaten track, recreational areas, marinas and harbors | Improve accessibility and increase the attractiveness of a location for tourism and recreation, thereby boosting tourism and increasing local income from a range of activities, from camping to boat trips. |
|
| Transport sector, e.g. airports, ports, harbors, transport companies, especially those operating in areas remote from the main fuel networks | Access to different types of fuel adapted to different modes of transport, from cars to aircraft and ships. |

One product – many benefits
What makes portable, cylindrical and containerized mobile fuel stations suitable for such a wide range of applications? This is made up of at least several elements, including
- Location flexibility – portable fuel stations (as the name suggests) can be easily moved to another location without the need for complex construction or lengthy approval procedures (it is worth checking the local legislation governing the operation of such products in your country). They therefore offer the ability to respond quickly to changing needs and conditions.
- Ease of installation – these units can be used without the need for advanced assembly and installation work. As a result, the start-up time of such a fuel station is incomparably shorter than a project involving the construction of a traditional station.
- Capability of operation in difficult terrain – the well-designed, robust and durable construction allows this type of station to be used in places where the construction of traditional infrastructure would be impossible or very expensive, such as mountainous or marshy areas.
- Ability to distribute different types of fuel – the tanks that form the basis of the design can be adapted to store a variety of liquid fuels, including petrol, diesel, aviation fuel as well as AdBlue and biofuel.
- Adapting to serve a wide range of vehicles – the stations are designed to serve not only cars and trucks, but also agricultural machinery, construction equipment, motorboats, snowmobiles, military vehicles or aircraft.
- Fully compliant with eco-standards – the portable fuel dispenser has been designed to meet all applicable environmental standards. It ensures that vehicles are refueled in an environmentally friendly manner. In some cases, it has the effect of minimizing the risk of pollution that could be caused by refueling vehicles from canisters previously filled at a traditional fuel station. It is therefore a step towards more sustainable energy solutions and supports global efforts to protect the environment.
- Wide range of configuration options – many parameters can be adapted to the requirements of the site and the purpose for which the portable fuel station is to be used. This applies not only to the number of compartments, the size and capacity of the tank, but also to the appearance and design of the dispensing platform, the protection of the platform from the elements, the installation of additional elements such as special lighting, a payment terminal, a price display, or the installation of additional insulation layers and photovoltaic elements. For customers who are particularly focused on the aesthetics of the finish of the external elements, various visual identity elements such as fluorescent stickers, logos, LED surrounds, etc. are available.
For short and long term use
Portable fuel stations are a complete and modern alternative to traditional stationary fuel stations. They can be used for both short-term and long-term projects. The basis of their versatility is their innovative design, which has been developed to combine four key areas: ease of use, functionality, efficiency and environmental responsibility. Their growing popularity comes as the world continues to look for flexible and sustainable refueling solutions. One of the most important issues in this area is the ability to refuel where you need to, without having to make long journeys to traditional stationary refueling stations.
