FTcase
Bringing Hydrogen to the tactical edge
“FTcase redefines mobile energy logistics. It’s a force multiplier at the edge.”
Dr. Joe Pratt, CEO of Zero Emission Industries
Portable Hydrogen Fueling
On today’s dispersed and dynamic battlefield, reliable power is mission-critical. The FTcase eliminates the complexity of gaseous hydrogen fueling, enabling soldiers and tactical units to deploy and power advanced hydrogen systems without the need for fixed infrastructure.
One person fueling solution
Built for the Mission—Ready for Any Theater
Field-Ready Versatility
The FTcase is designed with mobility and agility in mind. It can be carried and deployed by a single operator, delivering high-pressure hydrogen anywhere — forward operating bases, remote launch pads, unprepared environments, and maritime or aerial staging zones.
ZEI’s solution can transform any gaseous hydrogen supply into a complete hydrogen fueling station. Deploying and refueling with the FTcase is simple, immediate, and on-site, making hydrogen fuel an option for vehicles and equipment where bulky, complicated systems or installed infrastructure is too expensive, takes too long, or simply isn’t possible.
Versatility is key to the FTcase, which can refuel anything from boats to cars, heavy duty equipment, port infrastructure, maritime craft and dive systems, commercial hauling (aka “Prime Movers”), recon vehicles and troop transports, work trucks, locomotives, buses, field-deployed power generators, sensor arrays and the ever-expanding array of hydrogen powered “things” to come. “The beauty of the FTcase is its indifference to what it fuels; hydrogen is hydrogen, whether for a fleet truck or a hydrogen-powered commercial ferry” explained Mr. Motlow. This flexibility is essential for manufacturers and operators previously hindered by the scarcity of hydrogen refueling options.
Proven in harsh environments
Years of Development and Expertise Make FTcase a Reality
The technology behind the FTcase has been iterated and actively used over the last four years. It has successfully performed as the sole and frequent fueling solution in challenging commercial maritime environments, including both a commercial ferry and ZEI’s next-generation vessel prototype. It has also been used with great success in trials with a global provider of Class 8 commercial trucks as well as transit fuel cell buses.
“This system wasn’t built for showroom floors. It was built for harsh, real-world use — and it’s ready for tactical deployment now.”
The FTcase is available today.
ZEI’s unique hardware-as-a-service offering provides continuous service for maximum uptime, automatic updates and improvements, and vastly lowers total cost of ownership for hydrogen adopters. With the FTcase, Zero Emission Industries is poised to lead the transition to a more sustainable, hydrogen-powered future, once again eliminating the barriers to hydrogen adoption.
