TRUCK OR TRACTOR SEMI-TRAILER COMBINATION COMPRISING A PRESSURIZED FUEL STORAGE
DRIVE
February 11, 2026
A truck or tractor semi-trailer combination interconnected via a fifth wheel, comprising a pressurized fuel storage mounted between a rear end of the cabin and the semi-trailer. The pressurized fuel storage comprises opposing vessel mount structures extending from a top side of the pair of longitudinal chassis members and arranged for suspending an elongated pressure vessel in a lateral orientation. Each vessel mount structure comprises a strut provided with a ring-shaped clearance and a frame providing a neck mount for mounting an axial end of the elongated pressure vessel at a lateral offset from the strut. The struts are arranged for transferring a suspension force from the neck mounts to the pair of longitudinal chassis members, for thereby constraining a movement of the pressurized fuel storage with respect to the pair of longitudinal chassis members.
