Abstract

Station for supplying pressurised gas to tanks, in particular tanks installed on motor vehicles, of the type including a compression group (C), operated through transmission means by a motor (M), whose aspiration inlet is connected to a delivery net (RG) of the gas at low pressure, and whose delivery is functionally connected to a device (D) for delivering the gas at higher pressure by a plurality of connectors (U1, U2, .., UN), which can be connected to as many users. The transmission means include at least one oil-pressure pump (POL), operated by the shaft of the motor (M) and a hydraulic motor (MOL), fed by said the pump (POL) and driving into rotation the operation shaft of the compression group (C).
