30,000 Liters Aircraft Refueling Truck (Jet A-1)
Also known as an aviation jet refueling truck, aircraft fuel servicing truck, or Jet A-1 bowser, this vehicle integrates precision fueling equipment including aviation fuel pumps, flow meters, and refueling nozzles sourced from internationally recognized brands.
The corrosion-resistant tank structure, explosion-proof system design, and intelligent monitoring technology ensure reliable long-term operation under continuous duty cycles. Designed and manufactured by TWL since 2004, the truck supports scalable configurations and future-ready aviation fueling requirements.
Key Advantages
1. Aviation-Grade Safety and Explosion-Proof Design
The truck is engineered with fire-resistant materials, anti-static systems, and explosion-proof components to minimize ignition risks during refueling. Integrated leak detection sensors continuously monitor fuel lines, ensuring early fault detection and full compliance with aviation ground safety regulations.
2. High-Efficiency Fuel Delivery System
Equipped with high-flow aviation fuel pumps, precision flow meters, and professional refueling guns, the system enables fast and accurate fuel transfer. Reduced fueling time directly improves aircraft turnaround efficiency and operational readiness.
3. Durable, Corrosion-Resistant Fuel Tank
The fuel tank is constructed from aluminum alloy or stainless steel materials to resist corrosion from aviation kerosene and harsh environmental conditions. This ensures long service life, reduced maintenance frequency, and consistent fuel quality protection.
4. Environmental Protection and Emission Control
Integrated vapor recovery systems capture up to 99% of fuel vapors during refueling, significantly reducing emissions. Secondary spill containment structures prevent fuel leakage from contaminating soil or water, supporting airport environmental compliance and sustainability goals.
5. Heavy-Duty Mobility for Airport Operations
Built on a reinforced SINOTRUK 8×4 chassis, the truck delivers stable performance across airport aprons, remote airstrips, and challenging terrain. The robust suspension and drivetrain ensure reliable mobility under full-load conditions.
6. Cost-Effective and Low-Maintenance Operation
Automated fueling functions reduce ground crew labor requirements by up to 30%, while modular system design allows fast replacement of key components. This lowers long-term operating and maintenance costs for fleet operators.
7. Future-Ready and Operationally Scalable
The system supports sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) compatibility and automation upgrades. Tank capacities are scalable from 5,000 to 50,000 liters, allowing operators to deploy the same platform for small regional airports or large international hubs.
Applications & Use Scenarios
1. Commercial Airports & Regional Airfields
Ideal for routine refueling of commercial aircraft, helicopters, and regional fleets.
2. Military & Government Aviation
Suitable for air force bases and government aviation units requiring high-safety, high-reliability fueling equipment.
3. FBOs & Ground Handling Companies
Supports fixed-base operators and ground service providers seeking fast turnaround and compliant fueling operations.
4. Remote & Special-Purpose Airstrips
Effective for oil & gas aviation support, emergency response bases, and isolated airfields where mobile fueling is essential.
