NPROXX [https://www.nproxx.com/] introduces an advanced Type 4 pressure vessel 
for use in automotive applications. The new lightweight product which reaches a 
gravimetric storage density of 6.4% will be on display for the first time on 1 
to 5 April at the Hannover Messe [https://www.hannovermesse.de/]. 

This development opens the door for NPROXX to design, manufacture and supply 
hydrogen storage for use in a wide range of automotive applications, from 
mid-sized cars such as saloons, estates, SUVs and related vehicles.   

High storage density

NPROXX pressure vessels are especially well suited to use in the automotive 
industry because of their high gravimetric storage density of 6.4 %. Compared 
to similar products, NPROXX's 700 bar pressure vessel boasts a better 
storage-to-weight ratio, enabling automotive designers to plan and build the 
next generation of hydrogen vehicles with more fuel and less tank weight on 
board. 

"Our hydrogen tanks are lighter than other competitive products on the market," 
comments Dietmar Muller, Technical Director of NPROXX. "With four decades of 
experience in the series production of wound carbon fibre components, we are 
highly experienced in manufacturing reliable components in CFRP that achieve 
the same performance with less material usage and the same quality and 
performance. We have the process, knowledge and experience to deliver 
innovations that can build value and competitive advantage. Our 
state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities in Germany are ideally suited to 
series manufacturing of hydrogen pressure vessels at high volume for use in the 
automotive industry."
