November 1, 2001–-QUANTUM Technologies was center stage at the Michelin Challenge Bibendum, at the California Speedway, with reports that four competition vehicles were equipped with QUANTUM’s advanced fuel system technologies.
The Ford/NRG Tech F150, powered by a blend of hydrogen and natural gas, incorporates QUANTUM's advanced hydrogen storage system and will be put into fleet service by Pinnacle West following the Bibendum. The 1965 Shelby Cobra hydrogen internal combustion world land speed record contender utilizes QUANTUM's ultra-lightweight hydrogen storage and hydrogen fuel injection system. GM's Chevrolet Cavalier CNG/gasoline bi-fuel vehicle incorporates a complete natural gas fuel system developed by QUANTUM and is in mass production in North America. The Hyundai Santa Fe fuel cell SUV, which utilizes an IFC fuel cell stack, incorporates QUANTUM's advanced hydrogen storage system and hydrogen fuel delivery system.
The 2001 Hyundai Santa Fe received the highest grade for emissions and noise reduction, the Ford/NRG Tech pick-up truck received the highest grade for emissions and range, and the Cobra received the highest grade for acceleration and braking. The GM Chevrolet Cavalier bi-fuel has been in production for many years and represents GM's early contribution to the commercialization of low-emission alternative fuel vehicles.
"The breadth of QUANTUM's fuel system technologies is represented by the diverse types of alternative fuel vehicles at the Bibendum that incorporate QUANTUM's fuel storage, metering, electronic controls and system integration capabilities", said Syed Hussain, QUANTUM's President and CEO. "QUANTUM is proud that its technology was so evident at the Bibendum. This tremendous event showcases clean vehicle technology and the pioneering and championing of alternative fuel technologies in an effort to reduce vehicle emissions and seek alternative energy sources."
