“Quantum’s high quality and light-weight CNG fuel system modules are the most efficient and cost effective systems in the market and it’s this technology advantage that makes long haul CNG applications work,” said Scott Perry, Ryder Vice President of Supply Management and Global Fuel Products. “Quantum’s new light weight systems are enabling the use of CNG in long haul applications and providing an excellent value proposition for our customers.”

Quantum pioneered type IV composite technology to achieve the highest storage efficiency and capacity of its CNG tanks and complete fuel systems. Quantum’s Q-RailLITE, Q-CabLITE, and now its Q-Cab160 and Q-Cab180, CNG fuel modules contain Quantum’s proprietary, ultra-light patented Q-Lite(R) CNG storage cylinders which allows lighter weight structures while still meeting critical shock and vibration requirements. These cylinders are now being offered in 30-inch diameter configurations enabling efficient and cost effective storage solutions. The combination of the lightest and highest capacity tanks in the world and highly engineered lightweight structures enables Quantum to provide the lightest CNG systems with the highest diesel gallon equivalents (DGE) per pound in the industry.
