Quantum to Receive $6.95M DoD Funding

Quantum Fuel Systems Technologies Worldwide, Inc., (QTWW) announced that its Alternative Mobility Vehicle (AMV) and Mobile Hydrogen Infrastructure (MHI) programs are allocated to receive a total of $6.95 million in funding under the fiscal year 2006 Appropriations Bill for the Department of Defense, signed into law by President Bush on December 30, 2005. The military AMV program will develop an advanced second generation (Aggressor II) high performance light-duty off-road hybrid electric vehicle platform incorporating special undisclosed modifications, based on the results of and feedback from the U.S. Army’s testing and evaluation of the Aggressor. The propulsion system for this next phase of AMV development will be an advanced internal combustion engine hybrid electric drive system, which would provide a cost-effective, near-term solution and provide common shared vehicle architecture with future fuel cell applications of the vehicle. The objective of the MHI program is to demonstrate the capability of Quantum’s HyHauler transportable hydrogen refueling stations to meet emerging hydrogen fuel demand as hydrogen and fuel cell technologies are deployed throughout the military as part of the 21st Century Base initiative. This demonstration program is expected to include supporting the deployment of hydrogen internal combustion engine administrative vehicles as well as fuel […]
