Pressurized gas tank receiving assembly for a motor vehicle

A filling station (500) for a system (300) having a motor vehicle (100) and a cooling device (200), wherein the filling station (500) includes:

• a) a parking area (510) where the motor vehicle (100) is to be parked,
• b) a filling station control unit (560) having a data interface (562) for communicating data with a counter data interface (162) of the motor vehicle (100), wherein the filling station control unit (560) is designed at least for recognizing a positive refueling process status (S1) of the motor vehicle (100) based on data communication between the data interface (562) and the counter data interface (162) and, upon recognition of the positive refueling process status (S1), activating the cooling device (200) in order to cool a body (120) of the motor vehicle (100),
• wherein the parking area (510) includes an inspection pit (512) having a fluid-permeable cover (514), wherein the cooling device (200) is arranged in the inspection pit (512) for cooling the body (120) of the motor vehicle (100).

A method for cooling a body (120) of a motor vehicle (100) during refueling of the motor vehicle (100) at a filling station (500), wherein the filling station (500) includes a parking area (510) where the motor vehicle (100) is to be parked, a filling station control unit (560) having a data interface (562) for communicating data with a counter data interface (162) of the motor vehicle (100), wherein the parking area (510) includes an inspection pit (512) having a fluid-permeable cover (514), wherein a cooling device (200) is arranged in the inspection pit (512) for cooling the body (120) of the motor vehicle (100), and wherein the method includes the following steps:

• a) data communication (602) between the data interface (562) of the filling station (500) and the counter data interface (162) of the motor vehicle (100) in order to ascertain a status of the refueling process,
• b) recognizing (604) a positive refueling process status via the filling station control unit (560),
• c) activating (606) the cooling device (200) via the filling station control unit (560) and/or via a vehicle control unit in order to cool the body (120) of the motor vehicle (100) and fill (608) pressurized gas tanks (10) of the motor vehicle (100).
