Tanker truck with rear lighting assembly and method of operation

A rear lighting assembly for a tank vehicle, the rear lighting assembly comprising:

• a signaling device operably engaged with one of a rear bulkhead of the tank vehicle and a false bulkhead of the tank vehicle;
• a processor electrically connected with the signaling device for commanding the signaling device to emit a set of indication lights through the false bulkhead and behind the tank vehicle;
• a power source electrically connected with the signaling device and the processor:
• a first material of the rear bulkhead;
• and
• a second material of the false bulkhead different than the first material;
• wherein the first material reflects a light emitted by the signaling device;
• and
• wherein the second material is a translucent material to diffuse the set of indication lights emitted by the signaling device to obstruct a view of the signaling device.

A rear lighting assembly for indicating direction of travel for a tank vehicle, the rear lighting assembly comprising:

• a first signaling device operably engaged with one of a rear bulkhead of the tank vehicle and a false bulkhead of the tank vehicle;
• a second signaling device operably engaged with one of the rear bulkhead of the tank vehicle and the false bulkhead;
• a processor electrically connected with the first signaling device and the second signaling device for commanding each of the first signaling device and the second signaling device to emit a set of indication lights through the false bulkhead and behind the tank vehicle;
• a power source electrically connected with the first signaling device, the second signaling device, and the processor;
• a first material of the rear bulkhead;
• and
• a second material of the false bulkhead different than the first material;
• wherein the first material reflects set of indication lights emitted by the first signaling device and the second signaling device;
• and
• wherein the second material is a translucent material to diffuse the set of indication lights emitted by the first signaling device and the second signaling device and to obstruct a view of the first signaling device and the second signaling device.
