The integrated platform was first presented at the Greentech Festival in Berlin in May. It is composed of five digital pillars: Fleet Management, Insurance-as-a-Service, Hydrogen Economy, Greenhouse Gas Balancing (GHG Quotas) and Data Insights.

During his visit to QUANTRON’s booth during the Greentech Festival, German Finance Minister Christian Lindner emphasized the importance of sustainable innovations and was enthusiastic about QUANTRON’s broad portfolio, which includes both battery and hydrogen-electric drives: “I am committed to technology openness in Germany and Europe. As you probably know, we focus on battery electric vehicles, but there are also alternatives. I think there are different use cases and that’s why we need a diversity of technologies.”

Full-year 2023 outlook

Michael Perschke, CEO: “The year 2023 is our transformation year and is marked by the ramp-up of our QUANTRON QLI FCEV and our QUANTRON QHM FCEV AERO trucks- our 2 flagship Fuel Cell products that we developed together with Ballard Power. We are executing excellently on this challenge and plan to deliver as many as 25-40 Fuel Cell vehicles to our customers this year. In addition, we are in the middle of our B-round of financing and have already been able to sign various “Registration of Interest” and MoUs. The B round will secure our scaling beyond 2024. We will use the proceeds for our “Hydrogen Offensive” and are proud that partners like Ballard Power, Fund 4 Sustainability and NEUMAN ESSER Group support our strategy and are part of our ecosystem. We will announce another investor in early September.”

Andreas Haller, Chairman: “On July 15, 2023 we celebrated the 4th birthday of Quantron AG and I am proud of what we as a team have achieved so far. We can now call ourselves the technology market leader in hydrogen powered fuel cell trucks and I am proud of the QUANTRON team and our global partnerships.”
