FIRST Group Essex had long been harboring desires of fitting its fleet of buses with the Posilock refuelling system - responsible for massive reductions in refuelling times and fuel wastage and contamination across the globe.
So, when crisis struck, the company immediately seized the opportunity to fit its entire fleet of buses with Posilock under the guidance and expert assistance of Moretech.
The crisis for First Group Essex was that its buses were taking so long to refuel that a queue of vehicles was spilling out onto the public highway - and the local council was demanding action.
Moretech had the answer - designing and fitting bespoke retro-fit Posilock systems for the firm’s three different types of buses.
Refuelling times were slashed to around three minutes from the previous 12 to 14 minutes.
That meant a huge time saving across the fleet and an end to the crisis of blocking the highway.
“They were delighted and couldn’t believe just how quick it was to refuel each bus,” Moretech's Engineering Manager John Appelboam said.
“The buses were refuelled before they thought the process had even begun.”
First Group now specifies that all new buses are fitted with Posilock before they are put into service.
