Quantum Fuel Systems Technologies Worldwide, a global company providing natural gas storage systems, integration and vehicle system technologies, received additional orders for its Q-CabLITE CNG module from a new customer within the Kwik Trip network of transportation providers.
“Our strategy in the fleet and transportation company market has been to ensure a customer’s transition to CNG is streamlined, as economically advantageous as possible and is a positive experience”, stated Brian Olson, CEO and president of Quantum. “We have seen evidence in the market that transportation providers are clearly looking for certain system characteristics and payback targets and we believe we are delivering product and service that meets these needs.”
Quantum’s Q-CabLITE and Q-RailLITE CNG storage modules are integrated CNG fuel systems for heavy-duty truck applications. The Q-CabLITE product line is installed behind the cab allowing for a larger capacity of CNG. The Q-RailLITE product line is installed on the traditional open rail-space of the truck. Both systems have integral fuel receptacles, pressure gauge, safety systems (including shut-off valves), pressure relief devices, pressure sensors and fuel metering subsystems (including pressure regulator and thermal management). Both modules also contain Quantum’s proprietary, ultra-light Q-Lite CNG storage cylinder, which minimises weight while increasing fuel capacity.
