Quantum Fuel Systems Technologies Worldwide, Inc., (Nasdaq: QTWW) today announced that it received a contract from the U.S. Army’s National Automotive Center (NAC) for an additional HyHauler Plus(TM) transportable hydrogen refueling station. This contract represents an expansion of Quantum’s Mobile Hydrogen Infrastructure program with the U.S. Army that will demonstrate “in-time” solutions to meet emerging hydrogen fuel demand as fuel cell technologies are deployed throughout the military as part of the 21st Century Base initiative.
The Quantum manufactured HyHauler Plus(TM) is a large trailer-mounted hydrogen fuel dispensing system, specifically designed to provide fast fills in less than 3 minutes. The HyHauler Plus(TM) utilizes an on-board electrolyzer to generate hydrogen from water and electricity. The complete refueling system includes the electrolyzer, a high-pressure hydrogen compressor, high-pressure hydrogen storage cascade, user-friendly dispensing system, and integrated balance-of-plant. The easy-to-use dispensing system interfaces with the vehicle utilizing an on-board touch screen control system. The Quantum-Tecstar developed hydrogen refueler can be towed by a full-size pickup truck.
“The HyHauler Plus(TM) demonstrates a modular and transportable solution for providing hydrogen refueling infrastructure for fuel cell vehicles, hydrogen internal combustion engine powered vehicles, and portable power systems,” said Dennis Wend, Executive Director of the NAC. “We have been very pleased with the performance of the first Quantum unit and look forward to siting both systems at military bases to demonstrate hydrogen infrastructure solutions that could support fuel cell technologies as they are deployed.”
