AUGSBURG, Germany, June 17, 2020 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --

- 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.
