QUANTRON debuts QUANTRO QARGO 4 EV Light Truck
The new truck offers a battery-electric cargo solution, ideal for sustainable deliveries over the last mile, in both urban and rural areas. Its battery capacity is 81 kWh and is fully recharged within 1.2 hours.
With its business mantra, “Empower the Future”, QUANTRON AG, the German company that specializes in providing sustainable battery-electric and hydrogen-electric e-mobility for commercial vehicles like trucks, buses and vans, unveiled last month QUANTRON QARGO 4 EV light truck.
The all-electric light truck, the second vehicle in the newly designed QUANTRON brand on the market, was presented to a select audience of investors, members of the press and customers at the Q-Days 2022 in Gersthofen/Augsburg.
The company says the light transporter from QUANTRON offers a battery-electric cargo solution, ideal for sustainable deliveries over the last mile, in plant traffic and for municipalities. With its flexible wheelbase featuring 3.3 m of excellent manoeuvrability and thus a very small turning radius, the compact vehicle is ideal for inner-city traffic.
QUANTRON says the QARGO not only stands out because of its modern QUANTRON design in accordance with the company’s brand values “reliable”, “energetic” and “brave.” The performance of the environmentally-friendly transporters is also equally impressive: an operating range of up to 350 km as well as a payload of 2,300 kg – without producing any emissions or noise. Its battery capacity is 81 kWh and is fully recharged within 1.2 hours.
Cobalt-free batteries from CATL
QUANTRON says its products are developed and produced in cooperation with global partners from the QUANTRON ecosystem. These include QEV Technologies and EV Dynamics. The vehicle modules are sourced from Asia and then adapted to suit European standards and individual customer requirements by the development team from QUANTRON and QEV Technologies.
Other innovations in the QUANTRON portfolio include the all-electric Q-Heavy truck QUANTRON QHD BEV 50-280 as 4×2 tractor unit based on the DAF CF Space Cab. The zero-emission vehicle convinces with a low-noise and therefore particularly pleasant driving style as well as having an operating range of up to 220 km and a maximum engine performance of 350 kW. The 280-kWh battery is fully re-charged within 6.5 hours.
Quantron AG’s other sustainable mobility-related topics were also presented at the Q-Days event which include its portfolio of FCEV & BEV vehicles. Selected vehicles are also made available for demo and test drives.
In addition, other areas of e-mobility, such as the retrofitting of new and used commercial vehicles whose respective diesel drive trains have been replaced by a QUANTRON BEV or FCEV drive, will also be examined.
The H2 and fuel cell offensive 2022 kicked off with key partner Ballard Power and a number of other BEV variants in the light and heavy truck sectors is another highlight at the Q-Days.
With this, Quantron says its is driving its vision of CO2-neutral mobility in the ecosystem for fully electric and hydrogen-powered vehicles and platform solutions which are bundled as Quantron-as-a-Service.
