Manufacturing has been completed on NanoSUN's first large-scale hydrogen refueler - the Pioneer, with the commissioning activity also having been successfully carried out.

As a fully mobile, self-contained and automated solution carrying approximately 350 kg of hydrogen on-board, the Pioneer system enables rapid deployment of hydrogen vehicle fleets without the up-front cost and delay associated with the installation of a fixed refueling station. 

Despite the Pioneer’s compact and mobile design, typical fill-times of approximately 15-20 minutes can be expected for large buses and trucks, with smaller vehicles seeing even better performance.

Following final inspections, NanoSUN said the system has been granted type approval against the Transportable Pressure Equipment Directive (TPED) and the Accord Dangereux Routier treaty (ADR), enabling its use as a fully functional mobile hydrogen refueler. 

In addition, this prototype has been found to meet the standards necessary for use in a static setting, with type spproval also being granted against the pressure equipment directive (PED). As a result, the prototype unit has now been officially marked with its “CE” and “Pi” marks, showing its compliance.
