FASTECH, a leading EPCM energy solutions company, has reached major production milestones on its FASTMAX Transportable Hydrogen Fueling Station, a modular, high-performance system designed to expand hydrogen accessibility across the U.S.

Milestone Progress

In partnership with Kwik Equipment (Pearland, TX), FASTECH has completed trailer fabrication and mounted the core hydrogen components — the Maximator 1.5 Compression Module and Kustec Racoon 45 Hydrogen Chiller — on twist-lock connectors for stability and mobility.

The 50-foot triple-axle step-deck trailer includes a concealed cable tray, barrier wall for electrical panels, and reinforced infrastructure for high-pressure hydrogen operations.

“FASTMAX represents our commitment to building scalable, deployable hydrogen fueling solutions that accelerate the adoption of clean mobility,” said Robert Awbrey, Vice President of FASTECH.

Next Phase: Final Assembly at FASTECH HQ

The trailer will now move to FASTECH’s Fountain Valley facility for final integration, including:

  • Bennett High Flow Hydrogen Dispenser
  • Electrical & Mechanical
  • Factory Acceptance Testing

Once completed, FASTMAX will deliver up to 700 bar fueling following the SAE J2601 protocol, with integrated flame detection and cooling systems.
