Quantron will present a number of zero-emission commercial vehicles which are based on the two self-developed hydrogen and battery-electric platforms respectively, and are currently among the vehicles with the longest operating ranges at the IAA Transportation in Hanover.

 

Being held under the motto "People and Goods on the move", this year's IAA Transportation from September 20 to 25 will focus on the sustainable switch to alternative drives for logistics and transport.

 

Hydrogen Truck World Premiere 

As part of a strategic partnership, Quantron has developed an FCEV Heavy Duty Truck together with one of the world's leading hydrogen experts Ballard Power Systems. The Quantron QHM FCEV stands out through the use of state-of-the-art components, including the FCmove-XD 120 kW fuel cell newly developed by Ballard and the integrated eGen Power 130D E-axle from Allison Transmission, a world leader in drive systems. In addition,  Quantron offers an optionally available aero package for all QHM FCEV trucks which has been designed to improve the operating range by a further 10%, the company said.

 

As a tractor unit for heavy long-distance transport, the Quantron QHM FCEV 44-1000 makes a very impressive case through a set of unique selling propositions:

• An operating range of around 700 km depending on the load and topographical requirements

• Integration of all components within the frame structure for maximum everyday suitability - in compliance with legal requirements and without any compromises in the dimensions

• Application of the ISO directive for tractor-trailer combinations to ensure interchangeability of semitrailers and tractor units at national and international level 

• Long-distance driver's cab

• Hydrogen tank of about 54 kg fully integrated in the chassis

• Optimized H2 consumption through specially developed intelligent Q-ENERGY management system

• Maximum efficiency in the interaction between E-axle, fuel cell, high-voltage battery and 24V as well as HV auxiliary consumers 

• Available for immediate order and delivery in Q2 2023

 

Semitrailer tractor version

Quantron QHM FCEV 60-2000 and Quantron QHM FCEV 44-2000 stand out from the competition through their exceptionally large tank capacities of up to 116 kg, which are fully integrated in the chassis and positioned behind the cab. This will enable ranges of up to 1,500 km with a single H2 tank filling, it said.

 

Under the designation Quantron QHM FCEV 27-1000, this configuration will also be available as a road train version for long-distance heavy load transports.

 

New electric truck platform

As another world first, Quantron is presenting an all-electric heavy-duty truck platform at the IAA Transportation: the Quantron QHM BEV is available as the Quantron QHM BEV 44-400 tractor unit as well as the Quantron QHM BEV 27-400 chassis in a large number of variants. The up to 392 kWh high-voltage battery can be re-charged to provide a performance of up to 350 kW DC has an operating range of up to 350 km depending on weight and topographical requirements. The Quantron QHM BEV is already available for order.

 

For body manufacturers, the vehicles from Quantron AG offer the highest degree of standardization and body-friendliness. With a basic vehicle that is known to body manufacturers throughout Europe, many bodies can be installed and used as is usually the case without any problems, it said. –TradeArabia News Service
