Quantum Fuel Systems Technologies Worldwide Inc. says it has signed a development and production agreement with and received a purchase contract from an unnamed ‘leading global automaker’ for the design and development of a natural gas storage and engine fuel system for a production-intent compressed natural gas (CNG) passenger vehicle.
The contract involves the design, integration and supply of a lightweight natural gas on-board fuel storage system, fuel handling and engine systems for an advanced internal combustion engine vehicle, to meet customer-specified quality, durability and performance targets.
‘We are very pleased to have secured this contract to develop passenger vehicle systems, leveraging our experience in providing complete solutions for our customers – from concept to detailed engineering, integration, regulatory certifications, production supply, complete conversion support and after-sales service,’ says Brian Olson, president and CEO of Quantum.
‘Passenger vehicles represent a high-growth area for natural gas vehicles – one that complements our existing involvement with light- to heavy-duty truck applications,’ he adds.
