Voith uses pre-impregnated fibers, so-called TowPregs, as material for the tanks, which Voith manufactures itself. The production utilizes a special winding process that enables optimized winding layers. This enables higher storage amounts of H2 without any compromises in terms of safety, even with high pressures in the tank. Here Voith focuses on 700 bar technology to ensure long ranges even with limited installation spaces. Combined with short refueling times – it takes about ten minutes for full refueling – this results in greater economic efficiency for the operator, compared to conventional systems.
