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
