Norwegian hydrogen storage specialist Hexagon Purus has signed a long-term agreement with a European bus manufacturer to supply hydrogen tanks for the customer’s next generation of 12- and 18-meter fuel cell buses. Hexagon Purus does not name the OEM. However, the Norwegians specify that it is an existing customer and that the supply contract has exclusive status. The hydrogen tanks destined for the bus manufacturer will be manufactured in the Hexagon Purus plant at its German subsidiary in Kassel. The deliveries are scheduled for the period from 2021 to 2024. The Norwegian company puts the value of the order at around 30 million euros, whereby this sum already includes some deliveries made in the current year. Specifically, storage systems are to be the subject of the contract, which will include the lightweight Type 4 cylinder from Hexagon Purus, which, according to the manufacturer, “enables a range of 350 kilometers”.

  📢It's Story-Time!📢 Let's talk about a pioneer jet engine that used carbon fiber composites in 1969! During the mid-sixties, both aircraft and engine manufacturers were in the process of updating their products from those of the initial jet era. There were new large aircraft that needed more powerful and economical engines. Three engine manufacturers were looking at these new requirements. General Electric started with its TF-39 (developed into the CF-6), and Pratt and Whitney were developing their JT9D to address the USAF Very Large Transport competition requirements. Ironically, the JT9D and Boeing were the losing designs, however, out of these grew the 747 air-frame and engine combination. During research into a basic design for the long-term development of the company, Rolls-Royce determined that if they could develop a three spool engine then they would be able to match the air mass flow better to the compressors, provide superior fuel consumption and a much better path...
