The present application discloses at least a method, apparatus, and system for automatic refueling of a driverless vehicle. A specific implementation of the method includes: sending refueling request information when a fuel amount is lower than a preset value and a refueling condition is satisfied; receiving preselected gas station information corresponding to the refueling request information; determining, from the preselected gas station information, destination gas station information and driving route information of a destination gas station; sending refueling request information after arriving at the destination gas station based on the driving route information of the destination gas station; turning off an engine and/or an electric motor after receiving refueling permission information corresponding to the refueling request information, opening a fuel tank cap, and sending refueling confirmation information; and closing the fuel tank cap after receiving refueling completion information. This implementation improves the refueling efficiency.

The invention relates to a handling system for a filling system for filling containers and circuits of vehicles with different operating materials on assembly lines of the automobile industry, wherein the filling system comprises, as its essential structural components, a base unit, a controller, a console, and an adapter, wherein the adapter is operatively connected to multiple hoses for supplying the respective operating materials, which hoses are structurally combined in a hose packet and movably supported on the console. It is the problem of the invention to provide a technical solution in this respect for handling the hose packets, which are operated using a medium other than a pneumatic system. The aim of the invention is to provide a technical solution for handling the hose packets which are operated with a medium other than a pneumatic system. Said aim is achieved in that the drive of the movable hose packets and the drive system of a lifting unit equipped with a tray for the adapter are each designed as an electromotive drive. The invention further relates to modifications of the control behavior of the sequences of movement of adapter and lifting unit.

A fuel dispenser including one or more processors in a local or distributed computing system provide techniques for smart fuel dispensing that represent a marriage of vehicle telematics data, a smart fuel dispenser, and a customer device (e.g., a mobile device, tablet, computer, etc.). The techniques disclosed particularly provide a customizable fueling experience to customers and, for example, communicate fuel dispensing configuration information to/from a customer, pair vehicles to a fueling dispenser (e.g., using combinations of vehicle telematics, mobile phone data, fuel dispensing data, etc.), initiate/terminate fueling sessions, recommend fuel grades, establish customer accounts for various payment options, and look forward to potential itineraries (e.g., planned trips) to provide recommendations for vehicle maintenance, fuel grades, additives, etc.).

A transfer system, for transferring liquid-form gas between two liquid-form gas units, includes: a main pipe configured to transfer the liquid-form gas from a source tank of a liquid-form gas source unit to a receiving tank of a liquid-form gas receiving unit, the main pipe including at least a first portion and a flexible second portion; and at least one return pipe configured to convey the liquid-form gas present in the main pipe toward the source tank, the transfer system being configured to drain the liquid-form gas under gravity.

A fuel delivery system and method for reducing the likelihood that a fuel tank of equipment at a well site during fracturing of a well will run out of fuel. A fuel source has plural fuel outlets, a hose on each fuel outlet of the plural fuel outlets, each hose being connected to a fuel cap on a respective one of the fuel tanks for delivery of fuel to the fuel tank. At least a manually controlled valve at each fuel outlet controls fluid flow through the hose at the respective fuel outlet.

A system and method for fueling multiple saddle tanks of hydraulic fracturing equipment from a single self-propelled cart. The cart having multiple retractable fuel lines for providing and obtaining fuel. Each retractable fuel supply line uses a flowmeter, a ball valve, and an electrically actuated valve to provide remote control to a controller based on a user's selected fueling requirements. An electronic reporting system provides fuel data to operators and users. Fuel data such as fuel tank status, an amount of fuel usage over a stage level, a daily level, or job level along with a fill level of the fuel tank.

A fuel delivery system and method for reducing the likelihood that a fuel tank of equipment at a well site during fracturing of a well will run out of fuel. A fuel source has plural fuel outlets, a hose on each fuel outlet of the plural fuel outlets, each hose being connected to a fuel cap on a respective one of the fuel tanks for delivery of fuel to the fuel tank. At least a manually controlled valve at each fuel outlet controls fluid flow through the hose at the respective fuel outlet.

A device equipped with a tank, includes: the tank to be filled with a fuel gas; a valve mechanism provided in the tank; a receptacle with which a nozzle of a fuel gas filling device is connectable; a first filling path, an upstream end of the first filling path communicating with the receptacle; a second filling path, a downstream end of the second filling path communicating with the tank through the valve mechanism; and a storage container hermetically communicating between a downstream end of the first filling path and an upstream end of the second filling path, and storing foreign matter contained in the fuel gas, wherein the storage container is positioned vertically above the downstream end of the first filling path.

The disclosure relates to a computer-implemented method for managing a mobile hydrogen refuelling system, the mobile hydrogen refuelling system comprising a hydrogen refuelling vehicle, a hydrogen supply vehicle, and a management system, wherein the method comprises obtaining from the hydrogen refuelling vehicle a first set of data relating to the hydrogen refuelling vehicle, obtaining from the hydrogen supply vehicle a second set of data relating to the hydrogen supply vehicle, in the management system, and obtaining map data relating to an area of operation of said hydrogen refuelling vehicle and said hydrogen supply vehicle. Further, the method comprises determining a resupply location based on said first set of data, said second set of data and said map data, and providing the hydrogen refuelling vehicle and/or the hydrogen supply vehicle with navigation instructions to the resupply location for resupplying the hydrogen refuelling vehicle with hydrogen from the hydrogen supply vehicle.

The disclosure also relates to a management system, and a mobile hydrogen refuelling system for resupplying a hydrogen refuelling vehicle according to the method.

The present disclosure provides a system and a method for guiding hydrogen charging, which may estimate a remaining hydrogen chargeable amount (remaining hydrogen storage amount), a charging time, and the like of a hydrogen charging station, and provide the estimated information to another vehicle to be charged through an Internet network when a driver charges hydrogen in a hydrogen tank of his/her fuel cell vehicle at the hydrogen charging station, such that the driver of the vehicle to be charged may recognize a maximum chargeable amount and a required charging time for a hydrogen tank of a vehicle to be charged for each hydrogen charging station, thereby allowing the fuel cell vehicles to visit the hydrogen charging station and smoothly charge hydrogen.
