The Quantum Gen II builds upon its ability to revolutionize the way mobility device passengers travel by allowing them to self-secure in 25 seconds or less with minimal assistance. Its new release offers faster installation, modular serviceability, operator feedback, and is now nearly 10% lighter. Maintenance technicians will especially appreciate the lighter Gen II when handling it during installation, maintenance, or repair.

The Quantum Gen II is now equipped with ITS Technology that may be integrated with most transit agencies' proprietary operating systems. The advanced functionality provides transit planners and mobility passengers with real-time data like ridership patterns, dwell times, and mobility seating availability. These ITS capabilities can translate into the development of mobility passenger apps, set up notifications for service, and the ability to plan the most efficient routes.

In conjunction with the release of the Quantum Gen II, the Q'STRAINT Training Academy now offers a certification program for the new release. The fully-comprehensive online course instructs bus operators with the knowledge on how to confidently secure mobility passengers. It also benefits service technicians with the tools to take and maintain complete control of their QUANTUM fleet.
