Quantum Announces Receipt of New Order for One of the Nation's Largest Privately-Held Food Distributors

LAKE FOREST, Calif., Feb. 19, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Quantum Fuel Systems Technologies Worldwide, Inc. (NASDAQ: QTWW), a leader in natural gas storage systems, integration and vehicle system technologies, today announced that it received an initial order for one of the nation's largest private food distributors for Quantum's industry leading light-weight Q-Cab^LITE™ and Q-Rail^LITE™ compressed natural gas storage systems. 

"We are developing relationships within new market segments that have initiated a shift away from diesel fuel, despite recent changes in diesel pricing, to take advantage of the return on investment of CNG storage systems," said Mr. Brian Olson, CEO and President of Quantum. "Most fleet operators that are adopting CNG want to have  direct interface with the provider of the system and the cylinder products, and we are uniquely positioned as the manufacturer of the type IV cylinders and the designer and producer of the complete storage system," concluded Mr. Olson.    

Quantum's Q-Rail^LITE and Q-Cab^LITE CNG fuel modules are integrated CNG fuel systems for heavy-duty truck applications. The Q-Rail^LITE product line has been developed to be managed and installed on the traditional open rail-space. The Q-Cab^LITE product line is installed behind the cab allowing for a larger capacity of CNG. Each of these modules contain Quantum's proprietary, ultra-light Q-Lite^® CNG storage cylinders, which further minimizes weight while increasing fuel capacity.
