As temperatures continue to rise each year, refueling in extreme heat becomes more than uncomfortable: it becomes a safety and operational challenge. That’s why Autofuel, the Danish company redefining mobility since 2014, has strengthened its technology with an ATEX‑certified automated refueling and EV charging system built to operate safely in temperatures up to 60°C. 

Developed for regions like the Middle East, where high heat and convenience expectations shape mobility habits, Autofuel’s explosion‑proof innovation ensures safe operation even in flammable, high‑risk environments such as petrol stations. According to co‑founder and CEO Jonas Thor Olsen, the new certification also enables hydrogen compatibility, supporting future energy transitions.

Autofuel’s robotic system removes the need for drivers to step out into scorching temperatures, while offering stations a cost‑effective upgrade that works with existing infrastructure. One robot can match the output of multiple attendants, easing the labor pressures many regions already face. And rather than replace staff, the technology frees attendants to focus on higher‑value roles, such as in‑car delivery or customer service inside climate‑controlled spaces.

The same benefits extend to EV drivers. Autofuel’s automated charging robot moves along a rail, serving multiple vehicles and initiating charging seamlessly through an integrated app. No cables, no heat, no hassle.

With patented technology ready for rapid deployment, Autofuel aims to bring safer, smoother and more inclusive refueling and charging to hot‑weather markets worldwide. As co-founder and CEO Jonas Thor Olsen puts it: “When you think of the future, will there be more or less automation? The answer is simple.”
