The definitive solution to prevent fuel theft in road goods transport

Project description

Ensuring safety in truck transportation

Fuel theft is a significant problem for road goods transport as it exposes the drivers to hazards, causes damages to trucks and important economic loss for the sector. The Spanish Handfleet developed a fuel theft prevention system for large vehicles that detects robberies before any fuel is stolen. The innovative tool features smart sensors that can distinguish any vibration produced at any attempt of smuggling from the vibrations produced during the normal operation of the vehicle. It can prevent fuel theft attacks in all the situations of the truck's working cycle as well as internal fraud, and it can detect theft attempts before they occur, avoiding material damages in the trucks. The EU-funded TSS project will introduce this innovative fuel theft prevention system to the market, aiming to increase the safety of the trucks and the drivers.
