European TÜV Certification and World Manufacturer Identifier (WMI)

Independent Validation for nanoFlowcell QUANT Vehicles

nanoFlowcell has achieved two critical certifications—TÜV road approval and the World Manufacturer Identifier (WMI)—from respected, independent institutions. These external validations confirm the safety, functionality, and manufacturing readiness of nanoFlowcell’s QUANT vehicles. TÜV and WMI certifications serve as objective proof that QUANT models meet strict safety and production standards, setting new benchmarks for flow cell-powered vehicles.

TÜV Certification

The TÜV certification confirms the QUANT vehicles meet EU road safety and technical standards, ensuring reliable and secure energy solutions for sustainable mobility.

World Manufacturer Identifier (WMI)

The WMI code designates nanoFlowcell as a global vehicle manufacturer, allowing worldwide registration and confirming compliance with international production standards.

TÜV Certification: Independent Proof of Safety and Roadworthiness

The TÜV (Technischer Überwachungsverein), an independent technical inspection association in Germany, is known globally for its rigorous testing and safety standards. By securing TÜV road approval, nanoFlowcell has demonstrated that its QUANT vehicles are not only safe but also roadworthy, meeting stringent European regulations for public use.

Why TÜV Approval Matters

TÜV’s certification process is entirely independent, providing an unbiased assessment of vehicle safety, performance, and reliability. This third-party approval confirms that QUANT models meet high safety standards and are ready for real-world conditions, directly addressing concerns about the viability and functionality of new energy technologies.

Milestone Achievement

In 2014, nanoFlowcell’s QUANT E made history as the first flow cell-powered vehicle to receive TÜV road certification. This independent approval from TÜV validated the functionality of nanoFlowcell® technology and enabled public road deployment, establishing QUANT models as safe, reliable alternatives to traditional electric vehicles.

World Manufacturer Identifier (WMI): Recognition as a Qualified Global Manufacturer

nanoFlowcell also holds a unique World Manufacturer Identifier (WMI), granted only to companies that meet international production standards. The WMI is an independent certification that recognizes nanoFlowcell as a globally registered vehicle manufacturer, authorized to produce vehicles at scale.

Importance of Independent WMI Certification

The World Manufacturer Identifier is issued by independent global authorities and allows nanoFlowcell to produce vehicles that are uniquely identifiable worldwide. This identifier is essential for global operations, ensuring traceability and confirming that each vehicle meets rigorous production standards.

Series Production and Scalability

The WMI certifies nanoFlowcell’s readiness for large-scale production of its QUANT models. This independent certification establishes nanoFlowcell as a reliable and capable manufacturer, equipped to uphold quality and consistency in series production.

Special Permit from Regional Council Freiburg

nanoFlowcell has also received a special permit from the Freiburg Regional Council, Department of Mobility, Transport, and Roads, under §70 of the German Road Traffic Licensing Regulations (StVZO). This permit provides further validation of the vehicle’s compliance with road traffic regulations, adding another layer of independent verification.

nanoFlowcell’s Commitment to Independent Standards for Safety and Quality

With TÜV certification, WMI status, and an additional special permit, nanoFlowcell has established itself as a leader in the development of safe, innovative, and globally certified flow cell-powered vehicles. These external, independent certifications from TÜV and WMI provide objective proof of nanoFlowcell’s dedication to meeting stringent safety, functionality, and production standards, setting the stage for the future of sustainable automotive technology.
