Quantron unveils hydrogen-electric truck with 930-mile range

At this year’s IAA Transportation show, Quantron presented a number of long-range, FCEV trucks.

As part of a strategic partnership, Quantron has developed an FCEV Heavy Duty Truck together with Ballard Power Systems. The Quantron QHM FCEV uses a FCmove-XD 120 kW fuel cell newly developed by Ballard as well as an integrated eGen Power 130D E-axle from Allison Transmission. In addition, Quantron offers an optionally available aero package for all QHM FCEV trucks which the company says has been designed to improve the operating range by a further 10%.

The Quantron QHM FCEV 60-2000 and Quantron QHM FCEV 44-2000 will offer exceptionally large tank capacities of up to 116 kg, which are fully integrated in the chassis and positioned behind the cab. This will enable ranges of up to 1500 km (approx. 932 miles) with a single H2 tank filling, the company says.

Under the designation Quantron QHM FCEV 27-1000, this configuration will also be available as a road train version for long-distance heavy-load transports.

Global EV sales expected to increase by 21% in 2024

The latest forecasts from global technology intelligence firm ABI Research found that global EV sales are expected to grow by 21% in 2024 and 19% in 2025. This represents a significant decline from growth rates of 31% in 2023 and 60% in 2022, ABI Research said.

"A shortage of chargers and limited ranges are not to blame for this decline. It's evident from sales data and statements by Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) that the EV market is slowing down and failing to meet its targets," Dylan Khoo, an electric vehicles industry analyst, said. "While insufficient charging infrastructure and range limitations are often cited as reasons for this slowdown, they don't fully explain the stagnation, especially considering that these aspects are actually improving rather than deteriorating. Additionally, these explanations fail to consider the region-specific trends driving the EV sector changes."
