Press release available only in original language. 

First low-voltage electric vehicle with nanoFlowcell® drive is licensed for road use in Europe. First test drives planned for 2016.

  • QUANTiNO is the world's first low-voltage #ev with road licence
  • nanoFlowcell® drive enables ranges of more than 1,000 km
  • anoFlowcell® uses ecologically harmless ionic liquids for zero-emissions electricity production

Schaan/Lichtenstein, 10 February 2016 - As announced by #nanoflowcell AG, the latest scion of the QUANT model range, the #quantino, has recently been licensed for road use by the SGS-TÜV Saar. Presented in early 2015 at the Geneva International Motor Show as a concept vehicle, the #quantino is now the second vehicle with nanoFlowcell® technology, alongside the QUANT-E, with official permission to drive on European roads.

Its unique feature is the nanoFlowcell® drive - the answer to the long-term need for alternative fuels - with which #nanoflowcell AG is paving the way for future mobility that is both clean and safe.

Measuring 3.91 metres long and weighing in at 1420 kilograms, the 2+2-seater is also notable for its low-voltage electrical system. The electric drive in the #quantino has a rated voltage of just 48 volts, yet generates 80 kW / 108 hp and accelerates the city sports car for everyday use from zero to 100 km/h in less than five seconds. The top speed of the nanoFlowcell® vehicle is 200 km/h.

The low-voltage system in the #quantino works with the nanoFlowcell® drive to form an exceptionally efficient symbiosis that promises a significantly greater potential range compared with the HV systems commonly used in electric vehicles. Furthermore, it eliminates the danger of electric shocks that can be caused by a high-voltage system in the event of an accident or when undertaking repair work to HV components.

The innovative nanoFlowcell® vehicle runs with absolutely no emissions. The ionic liquid, which is harmless to the environment and to health, is also cost-effective to produce.

Under normal driving conditions, the #quantino can cover a theoretical range of more than 1,000 kilometres on a single tank. Precise range figures will be determined during test driving to be conducted on European roads in 2016.

Despite all its innovations, the #quantino is remarkably straightforward to drive and as easy to control as a conventional electric car or a petrol-driven vehicle. It also comes with plenty of electro-dynamic driving fun and a whisper-quiet soundtrack. Likewise, filling up the #quantino with ionic liquid involves a process similar to that for a petrol-powered vehicle - with a hose and a refuelling nozzle.

nanoFlowcell AG will present further details on the #quantino and other nanoFlowcell® technology showcases in Hall 1 of this year's Geneva International Motor Show from 1 to 13 March.
