Quantum Awarded U.S. Patent for Transportable Hydrogen Refueling Stations

Quantum Fuel Systems Technologies Worldwide, Inc., (Nasdaq: QTWW), a leading designer, manufacturer and integrator of fuel systems technologies for hydrogen fuel cell and alternative fuel applications, announces the award of a United States patent for portable and transportable hydrogen refueling systems. Quantum’s patent covers portable and transportable hydrogen refueling systems that incorporate self-contained hydrogen producing subsystems or accept low pressure hydrogen from external sources, and are capable of compressing and dispensing at either 5,000- or 10,000-psi (35 or 70 MPa). Transportable hydrogen refueling stations play a major role in developing a hydrogen refueling infrastructure, for both commercial and military applications. Quantum has developed two models of transportable hydrogen refuelers: the HyHauler(TM) and the HyHauler Plus(TM). These transportable refueling systems incorporate comprehensive hydrogen safety systems to ensure safe handling of hydrogen during all aspects of fuel production, storage, transportation and refueling of vehicles. Alan P. Niedzwiecki, President and Chief Executive Officer of Quantum, and one of the inventors, said, “This is a significant patent in that it provides a solution to one of the barriers to more widespread commercialization of hydrogen and fuel cell vehicles. Quantum is currently commercializing these refuelers with the major automakers and the U.S. Army, and is […]
