The first QUANTRON FCEV light-vehicles and e-buses on the road
On September 1, Quantron AG received a visit from its strategic partner and investor Ballard Power Systems by its global CEO Randy MacEwen. The occasion was the announcement of the delivery of the first five light trucks with hydrogen fuel cell drive. For this purpose, Ballard’s high-performance fuel cell modules were integrated into QUANTRON’s vehicles. The QUANTRON QLI FCEV is the first H2 vehicle in the light fuel cell commercial vehicle segment up to 7.5 t in Europe and the market leader in fuel cell technology in this class. In addition to the QUANTRON QLI FCEV light vehicle, Ballard fuel cells are also used in the QUANTRON QHM FCEV heavy vehicles with the 44t QUANTRON QHM FCEV currently being the EU-range and performance champion.
Furthermore, QUANTRON handed over two QUANTRON CIZARIS 12 EV battery-electric city buses to the family-owned company Omnibus Amann e. K. in Pfaffenhofen an der Ilm as part of a subsidy presentation by Bavarian Minister President Söder and Bavarian Minister of Transport Bernreiter. The buses will be used for regular service there.
Development of a digital transaction platform called ROQIT in a new Joint Venture
ROQIT is a joint venture between QUANTRON and Goldstone Technologies (GTL), a leading listed Indian business intelligence and IT services company. The goal is to develop a digital transaction platform as the digital backbone of Quantron-as-a-Service (QaaS). It will also develop AI-powered software solutions for the rapidly ramping zero-emission fleet management market that can be deployed vendor-independently. The integrated platform is composed of five digital pillars: Fleet Management, Insurance-as-a-Service, Hydrogen Economy, Greenhouse Gas Accounting (GHG Quotas) and Data Insights.
Visits from politics and the automotive industry
In recent months, QUANTRON has received visits from automotive associations and several politicians such as German Federal Minister of Digital Affairs and Transport, Dr. Volker Wissing. The guests were able to experience the emission-free transport solutions of Quantron AG live on site and showed their enthusiasm for the innovative technology.
New Supervisory Board Member & Confirmation of formation of an H2 Fueling JV

In addition, Quantron AG plans to further expand its international presence in Europe and is determined to advance innovative technologies in the field of hydrogen together with new strategic partners and its Joint Ventures.
