Arriva
Arriva, one of Europe’s leading transport providers, serving more than 2.2 billion customers every year across 14 countries, has chosen TSG to provide the fleet management solution for its two fleet depots in Råsta, Sweden.
TSG has installed its innovative vehicle identification solution, SmartFuel, which has served as an interface to four Tokheim ProFleet fuel management systems – DiaLOG – across the large depot.
One of the sites in Raasta has a combined ethanol and biodiesel refuelling depot capable of serving more than 200 vehicles. The busy commercial site has 18 nozzles in operation, comprising 6 ethanol and 12 biodiesel nozzles.
In each of the two indoor lanes there are two refuelling points, so a total of four buses can refuel indoors at the same time. The four indoor refuelling points each have four nozzles – three for biodiesel and one for AdBlue. Both products can be dispensed simultaneously using a single SmartFuel connection per ”nozzle” – multiple product dispensing.
In addition, there are three filling stations, each with two nozzles, located outdoors.

As part of the project, Arriva had Tokheim’s DiaLOG system installed, in combination with the SmartFuel, for its fleet of buses. The SmartFuel ensures that drivers are not required to use fuel cards, thereby eliminating any possibility of transmission or data-reading errors. Thanks to Smartfuel’s daily odometer readings, checks for wind and weather conditions on the wheels of vehicles using torches – where errors could easily occur – are no longer necessary. These inconveniences are a thing of the past: the RFN (Radio Frequency) nozzle can only be inserted into the corresponding fuel tank. Records of all refuelling operations are automatically generated and logged by Smartfuel.
Installing Tokheim’s DiaLOG system was a simple and straightforward process for Arriva, as no new software is required and all updates are carried out automatically. As it is a browser-based platform, Arriva simply needed to log into the system on a network-enabled PC, a tablet or a smartphone.
