- Quantron AG ensures with its trucks the uptake of hydrogen at the H2 filling station opened by Hypion GmbH in Neumünster, Germany
- A total of five QUANTRON QHM FCEV AEROs will be supplied for this ecosystem
- The hydrogen-electric truck impresses with a long range of up to 700 km
Last Thursday, Hypion GmbH opened an H2 filling station in Neumünster specially optimized for heavy commercial vehicles. Quantron AG, a specialist in sustainable passenger and freight transportation, provided a hydrogen-powered QUANTRON QHM FCEV AERO truck as a symbol of the self-contained H2 ecosystem at the inauguration. The clean tech company will deliver five of these vehicles to local customers, contributing to the first continuous off-take of hydrogen at this location.
A switch to environmentally friendly fuel cell vehicles can only be successful by implementing holistic ecosystems along the hydrogen value chain. The filling station is the first AFIR-compliant (AFIR – Alternative Fuel Infrastructure Regulation) hydrogen filling station in Europe with a refuelling capacity of 2000kg per day. Its opening at a logistical hub will ensure the supply of hydrogen, while QUANTRON ensures the uptake of hydrogen by local fleet operators by providing the vehicles.
“The QUANTRON QHM FCEV AERO, with its very high range, is a pioneer in the field of heavy, environmentally friendly transport solutions,” says Andreas Haller, Founder and Executive Chairman of Quantron AG. “We are proud to contribute these vehicles as an essential element of the H2 ecosystem.”
Dr. Stefan Rehm, Managing Director Hypion, adds: “Heavy commercial vehicles in particular play a decisive role in the development of integrated hydrogen systems in the mobility sector. With their help, the necessary market activation and decarbonization of road transport with zero-emission vehicles can be achieved.”
With a range of up to 700 km, the QUANTRON QHM FCEV AERO is the leader in emission-free heavy-duty transportation over long distances. The 54kg hydrogen tanks are fully integrated into the chassis. In addition, H2 consumption is optimized by a specially developed intelligent Q-ENERGY management system. This achieves maximum efficiency in the interaction between the electric axle, fuel cell, high-voltage battery and HV auxiliary consumers.
