Quantum Fuel System’s VPLite 45/40 virtual pipeline units for compressed natural gas boast 472,000 cu. ft. of capacity, weigh less than 59,000 lbs. fully loaded

After receiving the largest contract to date in 2023, Quantum Fuel Systems recently obtained a second virtual-pipeline-trailer order from VoltaGrid, an advanced energy management and generation company.

Quantum expects to deliver its VPLite 45/40 natural gas trailers throughout 2024. 

“Our goal is to provide customers like VoltaGrid with solutions that help drive down operational costs and enhance productivity for a cleaner, more sustainable future,” Steve Toelke, Quantum senior vice president and general manager for infrastructure, said in a news release. “After placing the largest single order of VPLite 45/40 in Quantum’s history last year, we’re thrilled VoltaGrid once again chose our trailers for their increased needs.

“We truly value our ongoing and growing relationship with them.” 

Designed to optimize efficiency and maximize payload capacity, Quantum’s VPLite 45/40 trailers allow VoltaGrid, the market leader in West Texas for supplying “intelligent, affordable, clean, and turnkey” power and fuel solutions for remote and grid-parallel applications. The VPLite 45/40 trailer boasts an industry-leading gaseous capacity of approximately 472,000 standard cu. ft. and weighs less than 59,000 lbs. fully loaded, Quantum said.

The trailers are compliant with U.S. and Canadian load requirements and designed for customers who need a smaller, lighter trailer that is easily maneuvered in tight areas.

“VoltaGrid’s partnership with Quantum continues to grow due to the reliability of their VPLite 45/40 product,” said Joshua Edge, VoltaGrid VP of transportation. “Quantum’s dedication to innovation and commitment to safety is aligned with VoltaGrid’s vision. This order allows VoltaGrid to secure additional market share in the integrated e-frac and power generation arena.

“Quantum is a true partner with VoltaGrid. Their nimbleness and ability to meet our rapid growth demands are paramount to this relationship.”
