The first mobile gas station in Belarus appeared in Bogushevsk, Vitebsk region
The mobile gas station will supply customers with diesel fuel, AI-92 and AI-95 gasoline. With its help, the enterprise "Belorusneft-Vitebskoblnefteprodukt" plans to solve the problem of supplying fuel to agricultural organizations and residents of small settlements, including agro-towns, where building stationary gas station complexes is not economically feasible.
It took three years to implement the idea. The gas station was designed by specialists from the Minsk company "NPK", and production was carried out at three Russian enterprises. Fuel, delivered according to schedule to the designated place and time, will be dispensed at a special site equipped in accordance with sanitary, hygienic, environmental, and fire safety requirements. Such a site was previously opened as an experiment to serve motorists on the M3 Minsk-Vitebsk highway in the village of Ostrovno, Beshenkovichi District.
The experiment was successful. The mobile gas station is equipped with three tanks, each with a capacity of 5 cubic meters of fuel, on a MAZ-MAN chassis. It is automated, equipped with a computer, and has the ability to communicate with the base, as well as an emergency button to call the police. The gas station is operated by a single driver-operator. Automated fuel dispensing is carried out via cashless and cash payments. The cost of services will not differ from the prices at stationary gas stations. The company will cover the costs of fuel delivery.
The management of the enterprise believes that the innovation will not only help villagers save on trips for refueling but also positively impact the environment. After all, the shorter the car routes, the cleaner the air will be. The first mobile station in Sennensky District is just the beginning. RUP "Belorusneft-Vitebskoblnefteprodukt" continues to invest money in the construction of mobile gas stations. In the near future, such facilities will appear in other districts of the Vitebsk region.
