Quantron participates in new truck compatible hydrogen refueling station opened in Augsburg, 6/17/24

. . . Not far from the company’s headquarters, located in Augsburg (we were there, slightly over one year ago, for the Q-Days 2023), Quantron has recently played a role in a new truck compatible hydrogen refueling station at the Augsburg freight & logistics center (GVZ), inaugurated on June 17. The project was brought forward by the local company Tyczka Hydrogen.

. . . The filling station offers green hydrogen at pressure levels of 350 and 700 bar, suitable for cars, trucks and buses. Green hydrogen is produced by electrolysis from water using renewable electricity. In its current stage, the station can provide around 500 kg of hydrogen per day, which can be enough to refuel 10-15 heavy commercial vehicles

New commercial vehicle compatible hydrogen filling station at Augsburg freight center supplies fuel for QUANTRON trucks

. . . The opening of the filling station for green hydrogen, not far from QUANTRON's headquarters, ...The cooperation between Tyczka Hydrogen GmbH and Quantron AG began long before the opening, as they exchanged technical details and processes for refueling heavy commercial vehicles. While fuel cell cars fill up with relatively small quantities of H2 (5-6kg), a heavy QUANTRON truck can carry up to 54kg of hydrogen (at 700 bar). These significantly larger refueling quantities must be backed by reliable technology in order to guarantee a safe and seamless refueling process. Consequently, a QUANTRON truck was also the first heavy commercial vehicle to refuel at this hydrogen filling station.

The filling station offers green hydrogen at pressure levels of 350 and 700 bar, suitable for cars, trucks and buses. Green hydrogen is produced by electrolysis from water using renewable electricity. In its current stage, the station can provide around 500 kg of hydrogen per day, which can be enough to refuel 10-15 heavy commercial vehicles.
