At this year’s transport and commercial vehicle show in Hanover, Germany, Quantron presented a number of zero-emission commercial vehicles,

The vehicles are based on the two self-developed hydrogen and battery-electric platforms. One of the models was a long-range truck.

As part of a strategic partnership with hydrogen specialist Ballard Power Systems, Quantron says they have developed an FCEV heavy-duty truck, the Quantron QHM FCEV. The truck uses state-of-the-art components, including the FCmove™ an XD 120kW fuel cell newly developed by Ballard and the integrated eGen Power® 130D E-axle from Allison Transmission. 

Quantron is also offering an optional aero package for all QHM FCEV trucks, which has been designed to improve the operating range by a further 10%. As a tractor unit for heavy long-distance transport, Quantron says the QHM FCEV 44–1000 makes an impressive case through a set of unique selling propositions:
