Custom Protection for Heavy Trucks and Road Transport Vehicles
transforming problems into solutions
A collaboration that captures our distinctive approach well: designing equipment that's easy to install, robust, and doesn't alter the vehicle's structure, within a tight budget, to secure a heavy truck's fuel tank and prevent the fuel theft that's on the rise as fuel prices climb.
STARTING POINT: THE CUSTOMER REQUEST
"We looked at quite a few solutions, without finding anything simple, cost-effective and reliable so far. Since we haul what Pautrat makes, we figured they could probably do something for us. That's how it started, quite simply, and then the project came together fast — we met with the design office, Gaël (Beauboucher), and our local dealer to talk it through and look at the different options. One direction stood out, a prototype is being built, and next month we're testing it live. If it works, we've got the plans ready to launch a production run and fit out the fleet quickly."

Expertise built for the demands of road transport
Today, a heavy truck fuel tank is mostly made of aluminium, to avoid needlessly adding weight to the vehicle. Easy to puncture and not simple to repair, it's often a case of replacement — and the real problem is how long the vehicle is off the road.
Tank protection and custom fit-outs
Installing an electrically-controlled hatch — a simple, reliable solution to secure the tank cap.
Custom manufacturing, vehicle integrity preserved
Using the vehicle's existing mounting system to fit complete stainless steel protection. Easily reusable on an equivalent model. Available through your usual dealer.
A simple installation that keeps both the budget and downtime costs to a minimum.
