Quantron AG, specialist in sustainable passenger and freight transport, was platinum sponsor of the 2023 Move America conference in Austin, Texas on Sept. 26 – 27. As the primary tech mobility and start-up show, the event brought together people and companies that are redefining urban transportation across the country. Along with the conference, QUANTRON announced a partnership with New Day Hydrogen, which aims to help build the infrastructure needed for hydrogen refueling throughout the United States and Canada.
Multiple members of QUANTRON’s executive team participated in key roles at the Move America conference. Quantron AG’s global CEO, Michael Perschke, gave a speech with Dr. Karthik of Goldstone Technologies on “Building a Digital Ecosystem to Manage Decarbonization in the Heavy-Duty Transportation Segment.” QUANTRON and Goldstone Technologies recently formed a joint venture under the name ROQIT. The aim of the joint venture is to develop a digital transaction platform as the digital backbone of its 360-degree ecosystem Quantron-as-a-Service (QaaS). It is composed of five digital pillars: Fleet Management, Insurance-as-a-Service, Hydrogen Economy, Greenhouse Gas Balancing (GHG Quotas) and Data Insights.
New Day Hydrogen Partnership
Rick Haas, CEO of Quantron US, also participated on a panel for the event: “Keep on Trucking – Charting the Course to Decarbonization.” Quantron US, a subsidiary of the German clean tech company, Quantron AG, is making significant strides in the US market. The latest partnership with New Day Hydrogen makes hydrogen fueling economical for fleets of heavy-duty electric vehicles as they take their first, incremental steps towards zero emissions. QUANTRON, as part of its B-Round fundraising, is also meeting with a number of Tier 1 investors at Move America as it accelerates its global footprint with focus on North America.
“As we are moving the mobility industry towards hydrogen, we often get the question: what comes first – the vehicles or the infrastructure? This partnership helps provide a solution that offers both”, said Haas. “We’re offering a range-leading hydrogen-fueled truck along with a full 360° service offering for customers through our QaaS model. New Day Hydrogen will be a key piece of this offering with their ability to build on-site hydrogen electrolyzers so that truck fleets will have the confidence and security of being able to supply and manage their own hydrogen needs. It is a natural partnership that allows us to take the next step in this exciting work.”
“We are excited to be partnering with QUANTRON, together addressing the zero-emission vehicle and infrastructure needs of commercial fleets,” said New Day Hydrogen’s COO, Buford Barr. “Hydrogen is a clear zero-emissions option, especially for fleets who have identified operational challenges with batteries and charging.”
