Automate Fleet Fueling

Because it’s always connected, the FCT allows fleet managers to use Fuel View software to remotely authorize fueling for any vehicle or driver and even control the fuel type and quantity.

The FCT interfaces with gasoline, diesel, CNG, propane, and any other fuel and vehicle fluid dispensing device, as well as electric vehicle charging stations. Each FCT can control up to 10 hoses in any combination of products. FCTs also provide exceptional versatility and convenience in transit bays for vehicle fluids and lubricants. Proven industrial grade components and a durable powder-coat finish withstand the harshest environments, providing dependable performance for decades.

Pump Chaining

Ideal for service trucks, transit bays, and large fleet shops, the convenient single-point access for service fluids using hose reels in automotive and industrial fleet applications, the FCT can be used in transit bays with pump chaining for multi-fuel vehicles, as well as maintenance kiosks for multiple service fluids such as transmission fluid, coolant, and oil.
