Galileo launches plug-and-play LNG/LCNG filling station

The solution is targeted at fleets, logistics centers and fuel stations, with a particular focus on heavy-duty trucks.

Galileo Technologies continues to expand its presence in international markets with the introduction of a plug-and-play station that delivers liquefied natural gas (LNG) or liquefied to compressed natural gas (LCNG). The solution is targeted at fleets, logistics centers and fuel stations to guarantee LNG and LCNG fast filling, according to a company’s press release.

The Galileo Patagonia can dispense high flow LNG or LCNG for medium and heavy-duty trucks, as well as 374 standard cubic feet of LCNG for light-duty and utility vehicles. In addition to its own standard built-in hoses, the station is also equipped to add dispensers at fueling bays or separate docks so that multiple vehicles can be fueled simultaneously.

The station works with a prepaid terminal that eliminates the need for the driver to pay cash, use a credit card or with cellphones. By selecting the manufacturer and model of the truck on the display screen, the station automatically dispatches the LNG at the temperature and pressure recommended by the automotive manufacturer.

Patagonia Stations and their LNG supply in Europe are done by Edge Energy Europe, a subsidiary of Galileo Technologies.
