Abstract (en)

A method and a system for refuelling of gas driven vehicles, particularly buses and lorries, from a gas fuelling station is done in short time by supplying the vehicle gas container (40) from two opposite directions simultaneously. The vehicle gas container comprises two openings (44, 45) situated at opposite ends, each opening equipped with a refuelling valve. Only one of the openings (44) is equipped with a feeding valve for supplying driving gas to the vehicle engine (E) when driving. Favourably the vehicle gas container (40) is divided in at least two separate sections (40A, 40B) used one at a time for driving of the vehicle and refuelled automatically step by step by starting with the section (40A) having the lowest pressure. <IMAGE>
