Abstract

Natural gas or hydrogen powered vehicles require special equipments for energy efficient storage of these gaseous fuels. A preferred option is the high preßure storage. Up to now heavy steel cylinders have been used in the preßure range up to 20 MPa due to their low price. Because of weight, a tendency to composite cylinders, made from carbon fiber and thermosetting resins, becomes apparent. This type of cylinder allows working preßure of 70 MPa and greater. Magna Steyr develops composite cylinders with non-load sharing plastic liners for alternative gaseous fuels in paßenger cars.
