At the Q-Days 2022 event in Augsburg, Germany, which was held by Quantron AG from April 26 to 28, the specialist for sustainable mobility for people and goods showed a deep insight into the future of zero-emission mobility concepts and trend-setting ecosystems.

Over the three days of the event, press representatives, investors and customers gained exciting insights live on site into the world of sustainable mobility concepts and solutions for passenger and freight transport, which is increasingly being shaped by QUANTRON. Among other things, the focus was on the all-electric QUANTRON CIZARIS 12 EV city bus, which was launched as the first Q-Mobility vehicle of the QUANTRON brand back in mid-February and was now presented live to a broad audience for the first time. Another new addition to the portfolio was the QUANTRON QHD BEV 50-280 as a 4×2 tractor unit.
With this broad portfolio, which was described by investors, industry analysts as impressive because it is precisely aligned with today’s and the future needs of passenger and transport traffic, QUANTRON particularly underlines its pioneering role in the development of an emission-free eco-system in the commercial vehicle segment. Underlining this background, the cooperation between QUANTRON and Ballard Power Systems, one of the world’s leading suppliers of fuel cell technologies, was also a focal point of the Q-Days, besides the presentations of the company’s product and solution portfolio.
“On the one hand, the Q-Days represent the start of Quantron AG’s H2 Hydrogen offensive with Ballard Power Systems, a global leader in fuel cell technologies,” highlighted Andreas Haller, QUANTRON founder and CEO, adding, “In the future, the two companies will drive the market launch of zero-emission fuel cell vehicles as part of their strategic partnership and introduce additional vehicles before the end of 2022.”
“At Q-Days, we did not only share what QUANTRON is already capable of, but also where the journey will take us in the coming years. The development of hydrogen fuel cell powered vehicles is an important means of introducing zero-emission vehicles for long-distance travel and greater independence from oil and gas as an energy source for the transportation industry,” commented Michael Perschke, CEO of QUANTRON AG, on the Ballard cooperation.
