Mobile vehicle fueling system

The invention is a mobile fueling system for vehicles that includes a fleet of mobile fuel stations, such as trucks. Each mobile fuel station has at least one fuel reservoir adapted for storing either liquid fuel, gaseous fuel and electric fuel. The system also includes a data processing hub and a network providing wireless data communication between vehicles, the fleet of mobile fuel stations, and the data processing hub. The data processing hub receives vehicle data from vehicles and fleet data from each mobile fuel station over the network. The vehicle data is transmitted from a customer's smart device running a customer app. The data processing hub is configured to dispatch via the network the mobile fuel stations in the fleet to vehicles in need of fuel based on at least three of the following factors: vehicle fuel level, a vehicle fuel request, vehicle location, a vehicle owner stored fueling location preference, a vehicle owner service request, reservoir fuel contents, reservoir fuel level and mobile fuel station location.

Retail fueling station system and method for effecting a consumer transaction

A transaction appliance is located within a retail fueling station environment. Presence of a consumer vehicle at a fuel dispenser is detected and the transaction appliance transmits a transaction trigger to a transaction server located remotely outside the retail fueling station environment. The transaction server responsively invokes personalized consumer data associated with the transaction trigger including advertising and promotions for purchasing products and services from a vendor. The personalized transaction data is provided to the consumer by way of the transaction appliance and a fuel dispenser user interface during the time the consumer is dispensing fuel.

System and method for operating a fuel dispensing apparatus

Smart fuel dispensing techniques utilize telematics data to initiate fueling sessions. Techniques can receive telematics data including identification data for a vehicle, determine a fuel type based on the vehicle identification data, determine a scope of fueling permissions associated with the vehicle identification data, and initiate a fueling session based on the scope of fueling permissions.
