Volute has invented a conformable hydrogen tank
Folds to fit anywhere
20% lower cost
No pre-cooling during fill
Seamless design
70 MPa operation
Continuous manufacturing

Volute’s tank makes better use of space
• Foldable design can be configured to fit irregular spaces in vehicles
• Stores 25% more fuel when compared to a standard cylinder filling the same bounding box

Volute’s tank has a smaller radius and thus thinner walls

We also develop analytics to better understand tank performance

CSA N/HGV2 committee has proposed revisions for conformables
This is currently undergoing discussion for incorporation into NGV2 in 2018(meeting next week)
