The Unique Challenges of Tanker Fleet Operations
India’s oil and gas sector moves millions of litres of fuel daily through road tankers. These operations face risks that regular freight doesn’t — product theft during transit, hazmat compliance requirements, restricted routes near populated areas, and the ever-present danger of spills and explosions.
