Quantum Fuel Systems Technologies has been awarded a US patent for portable and transportable hydrogen refueling systems.

Quantum’s patent covers portable and transportable hydrogen refueling systems that incorporate self-contained hydrogen producing subsystems or accept low pressure hydrogen from external sources, and are capable of compressing and dispensing at either 5,000- or 10,000-psi (350 or 700 bar).

Quantum currently sells two models of transportable hydrogen refuelers: the HyHauler and the HyHauler Plus.

Transportable hydrogen refueling stations will likely play a major role in developing a hydrogen refueling infrastructure, for both commercial and military applications.
