The Quark uses a 9-litre hydrogen tank at a pressure of 700 bars. Requiring the same amount of space as a 350 bars bottle, this makes it possible to increase the quantity of on-board hydrogen and thereby extend the vehicle's range. Over a complete cycle, the latter is around 100 km (up to 130 km in economy mode).
In addition, like the Fuel Cell Taxi, the Quark has a simple and rapid method of refilling
the vehicle with hydrogen, with a « plug & drive » system that makes it easy to replace an empty bottle with a full one.
The Quark power train is nothing if not innovative. Electrical power supplied by the batteries and the fuel cell is transmitted, not to a central motor, but to four individual electric motors located in each of the vehicle's wheels. Each motor provides a maximum torque of 100 Nm, a continuous output of 2.5 kW and a maximum output of 7 kW. Thanks to its four individual motors, the Quark therefore has a maximum torque of 400 Nm, a nominal power of 10 kW and a maximum power of 28 kW.
