QUANTRON US and FusionOne have finalised an agreement to collaborate on clean hydrogen and plastic reduction solutions in North America.
The company has been working to advance the hydrogen economy in the US with a portfolio of fuel cell electric vehicle (FCEV) solutions and Quantron-as-a-service (QaaS), a per-mile platform that provides fleet owners trucks, fuel, and end-to-end fleet management programmes.
The agreement was announced at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas, the US, where QUANTRON is displaying as part of the German Pavilion at the Ventian.

Andreas Haller, CEO and Founder of QUANRON AG, claimed the agreement is an “ultimate environmental win win.”
He added, “Working with FusionOne will add a critical ‘multiplier’ to the goal of improving our environment. The goal of the collaboration is to establish a platform and network for the refuelling of FCEV with a focus on trucks.
“We plan to support each other to enhance the recognition of hydrogen as a preferred solution for commercial transportation and to drive adoption rates. FusionOne and QUANTRON will work collaboratively to promote the additional benefits of ‘hydrogen from recycled plastics’ as a superior green energy transportation solution.”
The Chief Financial Officer of QUANTRON US, Damaris Meyer, claimed that the annual market in the Class 8 vehicle segment alone is 300,000 vehicles and will need to be decarbonised. He added that QUANTRON is at the “forefront of this movement.”
John Zorbas, Chairman of the Board of Directors of FusionOne, said, “FusionOne and QUANTRON are synergising their expertise to forge a sustainable path forward in the transportation sector with sustainable hydrogen fuel derived from recycled plastics.
“Our proprietary HydroPlas™ technology is part of the driving force behind this venture, processing waste plastic streams into zero-emission hydrogen fuel, and targeting feedstock-rich, fuel-hungry warehouses, distribution centres, and ports.”
FusionOne’s CEO, Elliott Talbott, added that the collaboration will accelerate the deployment of HydroPlas™ systems across North America, converting waste to clean fuel and powering a new generation of QUANTRON trucks. “Our joint efforts will significantly amplify the impact of each mile driven by QUANTRON’s trucks, turning waste plastic into energy and clearing the path towards a more sustainable future.”
