Krampitz gas station container in Japan
This report from Japanese television about gas station containers reports on container gas stations that Krampitz introduced into the Japanese market together with his partner Comota.
The great need for above-ground gas station containers in Japan results from the early Japanese automotive transformation towards hybrid-electric cars.
Hybrid cars have been state of the art in Japan for 15 years. As a result, diesel and gasoline consumption has been more than halved to date.
Traditional gas stations in Japan
Traditional gas stations with underground tanks and outdated equipment are economically unviable with sales halved. That's why in the Japanese province in recent years many gas stations closed forever.
Large rural regions are left without a gas station infrastructure. But gas stations in Japan not only supply vehicles, but also private households with petroleum (kerosene) - for heating houses in the winter.
Drive here no tankers to private houses and fill up with heating oil, but people get their heating petroleum in canisters directly from the gas station.
But now there are in rural areas hardly any gas stations anymore. This is a big problem today. That is why the Japanese state sees itself as having a duty to equip these rural regions with a new, modern supply system. The aim here is to supply the remaining users with fuel fully automatically, reliably and inexpensively.
That's why modern, highly secure gas station containers from Krampitz.
Working for three years Krampitz and Comota on this project. A lot of time and money was invested. Now Krampitz gas station containers have been specially modified for Japanese requirements, tested and certified and authorized by the Japanese state. They have been in operation since 2021.
The one shown in the Japanese television report below Container gas station consists of two units. A 20-foot container (20ft.) and a 10-foot container (10ft.).
The 20ft. Container is the central container three tank chambers contains, in each of which Diesel, petrol and premium petrol be stored. An automatic powder extinguishing system has also been set up. Furthermore, there are a Credit card billing system, camera surveillance and the electrical central control installed.
Two dispensers (dispensing systems) are mounted on the longitudinal or front wall in two wall niches that can be closed with roller shutters.
The 10ft. Container is equipped with a tank chamber for Petroleum (kerosene) and a dispenser. This container corresponds electronically with the 20ft central container.
Steel tank container
All tank containers are out high quality steel Manufactured in double-walled construction. They have an electronic vacuum leak detection system.
The oil company employee shown in the film acts as a technical instructor in the automatic filling station system for customers in the region. He is only on site for a limited time.
Japan starts with Krampitz and Comota modern mobile supply concepts to meet the requirements of the future.
The technical transformation away from the combustion engine towards e-mobility is 100% correct. However, this change will progress rapidly Fuel supply systems, in whatever form, will be with us for many years to come. Whether we want it or not.
The current demand and stock of vehicles with combustion engines is far too great for this.
It takes time and new, modern technical interim solutions until the last combustion engine is shut down - see Japan. Anything else is quixotic and can lead to major social unrest.
Every technical revolution takes time and temporary solutions.
