Raufoss Fuel Systems was in an early phase a part of Raufoss Technology’s product and technology development department. The main focus was development of high performance missile structures, mainly for military applications. In the 1990’ies, the focus turned to high-pressure cylinders and automotive/commercial applications.

 

Since the first new lightweight CNG cylinders were introduced to the market in 1992, the program has been running continuously with deliveries for both bus and truck applications. Raufoss has delivered complete storage systems for personal cars since the late 1990s, and in 2003 RAFS delivered its first hydrogen storage system. All these products were based on T3 cylinder technology.

 

Raufoss Fuel Systems was sold to Hexagon Composites ASA, an Oslo stock exchange listed company on March 1-2003 from Raufoss ASA, where it the last few years were a part of the automotive business unit.
