Quantum Awarded New Contract for High Capacity Ultra-Light Weight Carbon Composite Natural Gas Vehicle Storage Systems for Light-Duty Trucks

Quantum Fuel Systems Technologies Worldwide, Inc. apprised that it has secured a new purchase contract for 250 ultra-light weight compressed natural gas (CNG) tanks from a large US natural gas vehicle integrator of light duty trucks.

Quantum's carbon composite ultra-light weight high capacity CNG tanks are the lightest in the industry. Quantum tanks enable relatively simple vehicle integration, avoiding the cost of heavy structural reinforcement that is necessary to integrate competing heavier tanks. Light-weight tanks also help to lower operation and maintenance costs and to improve gas mileage and payload capacity. Quantum offers the lightest and most advanced CNG storage systems, enabling trucks and buses to carry significantly more fuel on board and operate for long distances without compromising their payload capacity or driving characteristics. Quantum has more than a decade of experience in designing, manufacturing and deploying light-weight gaseous fuel systems for a variety of automotive and aerospace applications.
