Moto Hospitality Ltd: Poplar 2000

HTEC Ltd has won the contract to supply Moto Hospitality Ltd’s Poplar 2000 Truck Stop in Cheshire with a brand new automated fueling system. It is the largest truck stop in the UK and potentially the largest fully automated Truck Stop in Europe.

The truck stop was initially privately owned but, since 1994, Moto Hospitality Ltd have been working hard to improve all the services on offer at the truck stop to enhance the service for their client base - introducing better facilities and new services tailored to truck driver’s individual needs. Inside the amenity building there is access to soft seating, vending machines with vending coffee from £1, and hot breakfasts from £5.99.

The automated fuelling system installed by HTEC has 12 HydraPOD outdoor payment terminals controlling 36 pumps. The HydraPOD is a free-standing, secure, outdoor payment terminal with a secure Pin Entry Device (PED) which can be used for both Chip and PIN and magstripe transactions in an unattended or cardholder activated environment.

The terminal can accept most bank cards, local accounts and cash cards including Keyfuels and UK Fuels.
