Key Features

Aluminum Alloy Construction Advantage

High‑grade aluminum alloy throughout tank body and fluid transfer infrastructure
Approximately 4 tons weight reduction compared to equivalent carbon steel tankers
Increased payload capacity without additional vehicle operations
Improved operational economics per liter transported

Safety Characteristics

Static dissipation: Aluminum’s electrical conductivity effectively dissipates static charge generated during loading, unloading, and transport operations, reducing ignition risks with volatile petroleum products
Vehicle dynamics: Reduced dead weight improves braking performance and reduces collision inertia
Corrosion resistance: Natural oxide layer provides long‑term corrosion protection without protective coatings
Extended service life: Superior weather and chemical resistance reduces maintenance requirements

Multi‑Compartment Configuration

Flexible design: 1 to 12 compartments available for different distribution modes
Product isolation: Simultaneous transport of different fuel grades without cross‑contamination
Multi‑customer delivery: Single trip can serve multiple delivery points requiring different fuel grades or volumes
Common configuration: 5‑compartment design with 50,000L total capacity balances product isolation with operational simplicity

Discharge System

API standard multi‑purpose discharge valve
Reliable operation with standard refueling infrastructure
Optimized for gasoline and diesel fuel delivery
Consistent interface and operating procedures across fuel types

Chassis and Suspension

Main beam: Q345B carbon steel with proper weight distribution

Operational Economics

The weight advantage of aluminum alloy construction directly impacts operational economics. The 4‑ton weight reduction enables additional fuel volume transport without proportional cost increase. Over the tanker’s service life, this payload advantage accumulates into significant economic benefits. Reduced maintenance requirements from corrosion resistance further contribute to lower total cost of ownership compared to carbon steel alternatives. Improved fuel economy from reduced dead weight provides ongoing operational savings.
