Raufoss Fuel Systems has entered into an agreement with the electric vehicle manufacturer TH!NK Nordic for integration of a 700 bar hydrogen range extender system for the TH!NK City car. 

The project "TH!NK hydrogen" is budgeted with a total of NOK 64.000.000 (€ 7.850.000) over 3 years, of which NOK 11.000.000 (€ 1.350.000) has been granted from the Research Council of Norway. 

The vehicles will be leased to projects that are interested in demonstrating zero-emission electric vehicles with an extended range by using hydrogen. The range for the TH!NK hydrogen vehicle will be around 300 km.
 
The project aims to produce a series of hydrogen-electric vehicles for hydrogen demonstration purposes, and this enables Raufoss Fuel Systems to demonstrate their state-of-the-art fuel system technology.
 
The target customer group will be fleet operators in the HyNor program in Norway and dedicated projects in some other European countries.
 
"This agreement, and the funding granted from the Research Council on behalf of the Norwegian Ministry of Transport and Communication, will give Raufoss Fuel Systems an excellent opportunity to demonstrate our know-how, technology and experience of integrating the complete fuel storage system with other vehicle systems. This will give the project, the users and our company valuable experience on our way to the global market," says Per Heggem, Managing Director of Raufoss Fuel Systems AS.
