Quantum’s carbon composite ultra-light weight high capacity CNG tanks enable relatively simple vehicle integration lowering operational and maintenance costs, thereby increasing gas mileage and payload capacity.
The simple vehicle integration is made possible with the help of light-weight CNG tanks by avoiding the cost of heavy structural reinforcement that is necessary to integrate competing heavier tanks.
Quantum president and CEO Alan Niedzwiecki said the company’s light-weight CNG tanks are ideal for weight-sensitive applications, providing its customers with upfront and on-going financial and operational benefits.
California Energy Commission has reported that natural gas-powered heavy duty vehicles reduce greenhouse gas emissions by up to 23% and particulate matter by up to 95% compared to conventional diesel-powered models, so fleets can save money and be green.
