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.
