Food Logistics and Cold Chain Fleet
Vehicle Diesel Tank Security Solutions

In cold chain transport, fuel powers not only the vehicle but also the cooling system of the product in the trailer; therefore, every liter of diesel is directly related to product security. FuelGuard diesel tank security systems eliminate the risk of theft and abuse in refrigerated (frigo) vehicles, protecting both transport costs and contributing to the uninterrupted continuation of the product cold chain.

Starting from this vital point of origin, it is necessary to understand what a sensitive and critical stage food logistics and cold chain transport represent.

Fuel Guard Diesel Tank Protection Solutions
for Food Logistics and Cold Chain Sector Vehicles

Refrigerated (frigo) vehicles must operate continuously so that the sensitive loads they carry do not spoil. In this operation, diesel is not just a fuel that moves the vehicle, but also the fundamental power that keeps the cold chain alive.

When the diesel tank is taken under full protection against external interventions, theft-related costs and risks are directly eliminated. Stopping of the cooling unit due to diesel theft is prevented; thus, both unnecessary diesel expenses are saved and the safe arrival of the load at its destination is guaranteed.

How Does Protecting the Diesel Tank Security in Your Food Logistics and Cold Chain Sector
Vehicles Contribute to Your Business?

  • Refrigerated (frigo) vehicles have two separate diesel tanks for both the tractor engine and the cooling unit (reefer). Fuel Guard completely closes this dual-sided risk area, blocking diesel theft attempts that can be made through both diesel tanks and providing complete diesel security.
  • Cooling units must consume diesel continuously to protect the valuable load inside. Stopping of the unit due to diesel theft leads to the spoilage of tons of products. By providing diesel tank security, the system prevents the unauthorized withdrawal of diesel and consequently prevents the breaking of the cold chain.
  • The financial and operational value of the food and medicine products you transport is much higher than the diesel that can be stolen. Diesel tank security prevents the vehicle or cooling system from running out of fuel, ensuring the process continues uninterrupted. In this way, diesel losses are prevented, costs are taken under control, and the safe arrival of your load at the destination is guaranteed.

Does the Fuel Guard System Affect the Operation of the Cooling Unit or Decrease Its Performance?

No. Fuel Guard is only a physical barrier mounted on the tank neck and does not interfere in any way with the cooling unit's fuel suction pump or engine. The primary goal of the system is to guarantee uninterrupted operation by preventing the theft of the unit's fuel.

In Which Situation Does Fuel Theft Cause the Greatest Damage to Cold Chain Products?

The greatest damage occurs when the vehicle's fuel is stolen at long-haul rest areas or waiting points, and the reefer unit stops automatically because it is left without fuel. Fuel Guard eliminates the risk of tons of food products spoiling and being disposed of by preventing this situation.

How Quickly Can Food Logistics Companies Amortize Their Fuel Guard Investment?

The return on investment (ROI) for a Fuel Guard investment should be calculated based on the prevented fuel loss and the cost of prevented product spoilage/loss. Even the loss of a few hundred liters of fuel remains very small compared to the risk of thousands of liras worth of valuable cargo spoiling. Therefore, Fuel Guard amortizes itself very quickly in this sector.
