Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) has introduced a robotic arm capable of swiftly refueling vehicles at petrol stations.
The company plans to launch a robotic arm by the end of the year, currently undergoing a pilot phase at Al Reem Island in Abu Dhabi.
It is part of ADNOC’s five-year strategy to enhance the convenience of car filling up.
This is a first-ever certified and tested innovation in the region for fuel stations to boost staff productivity and decrease wait times.
The cutting-edge technology uses artificial intelligence to automatically fill your car’s petrol tank, adjusting fueling based on your habits, with an application providing precise fuel amounts.
How it works?
- Drivers arrive at the ADNOC station, can choose the fuel type at the filling station using either a touchscreen interface or the mobile app.
