The new tank design is similar to the company’s Q-Lite CNG storage tanks that are being used on Class 6-8 on-road trucks around North America.

Quantum Fuel Systems Technologies Worldwide president and CEO Brian Olson said: "The mining industry is a major energy user and mining companies around the world are increasingly focused on energy efficiency, lower emissions and cost-effective ways of generating power.

"Although many thought mining would be dominated by LNG, Quantum and its commercial partners are now proving that CNG offers a much lower cost solution compared to diesel and LNG."
