to launch a new version of its ingenious nozzle based infra-red vehicle identification system.
With the company's existing system, the driver takes the nozzle from a specially modified fuel pump, and fills the tank of his vehicle. The infrared sensor on the nozzle automatically identifies the vehicle and authorise the release of fuel.
Until now the driver has had to enter the vehicle's mileage reading at each fill-up, but Transflo has now developed a system which automatically records the mileage from sensors installed on the vehicle.
This innovation should allow full automatic recording of fuel useage and mileage, with no extra duties for the driver. The system costs around £4,000 for the special nozzle and equipment and around £100 for the vehicle fittings.
