Quantron AG Implements Fuel Cell Trucks in Europe
AUGSBURG, Germany, June 17, 2020 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --

- The Energon is the first in Quantron's upcoming fuel cell product range. 
Production is scheduled to start in mid-2022.

Quantron AG active in the field of hydrogen since its foundation

Quantron AG has been working on hydrogen propulsion for commercial vehicles 
since its foundation and now, with the new Energon, offers a 44-tonne truck 
with fuel cell for freight transport that can be fully integrated into 
logistics processes. It has a range of about 700 km. The 130 kW fuel cell used, 
supported by a 110 kWh LFP battery, powers the 340 kW engine, which is equipped 
with a 2-speed transmission.

Quantron AG is working hard on other vehicles in order to be able to offer a 
wide range of fuel cell solutions for companies and local authorities in the 
near future.

Advantages of the fuel cell

A hydrogen vehicle is an electric vehicle that obtains its energy from a 
chemical reaction of hydrogen and oxygen in the so-called fuel cell. The 
electricity generated in this process is either consumed directly in the engine 
or buffered in the on-board battery. Due to the high system efficiency of the 
fuel cell, hydrogen trucks have identical performance characteristics to normal 
diesel trucks. But there is one decisive advantage: the local freedom from 
emissions of CO2, nitrogen oxides and particulate matter. This is because the 
electrochemical reaction in the fuel cell produces only water vapor, which is 
then released into the environment when the truck is driven. Added to this are 
the general advantages of an e-vehicle. Because hydrogen trucks also enjoy tax 
and toll exemptions as well as lower maintenance and operating costs than 
trucks with conventional diesel engines.

Pre-orders with a price advantage of 10,000 € are possible at www.quantron.net.
