Quantum Fuel Systems Technologies Worldwide Inc. says it has received a new purchase order from a natural gas vehicle system integrator for its ultra-lightweight, high-capacity carbon composite compressed natural gas (CNG) storage tanks for long-haul trucks.
The company says its tanks require less structure for mounting support, which increases vehicles' payload and passenger capacity. The tanks also ‘maximize on-board storage capacity, resulting in greater driving range,’ Quantum adds.
The new order is valued at more than $850,000.
