Quantum developed medium capacity compressed natural gas (CNG) storage system for natural gas vehicles by offering fuel efficiency, simplified installation and reduced vehicle operation and maintenance costs.
The company said that with the help of CNG storage system, light duty trucks can carry more fuel on board and operate for long distances without reducing their payload as is required with competing tanks that are significantly heavier.
Quantum president and CEO Alan Niedzwiecki said that the company’s new medium capacity ultra light-weight natural gas storage tanks enable light duty trucks to achieve nearly the range as those operating on gasoline.
According to the California Energy Commission, natural gas-powered light duty vehicles reduce carbon emissions by up to 40% and particulate matter by up to 80% compared to conventional gasoline-powered models.
