As the tanks have to withstand extremely high pressure (up to 700 bar or 700 times atmospheric pressure), they are very heavy, even when constructed with carbon fiber. To date, hydrogen fuel tanks have been attached to the vehicle chassis, rather than incorporated as an integral part of the chassis.

After all, it is one of the most efficient ways of storing and transporting renewable energies. The hydrogen needed to supply the fuel cell is stored in two 700-bar tanks made of carbon-fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP). We should use this potential to also accelerate the transformation of the mobility sector.
