A truck comprising a chassis and a frame arranged for suspending an elongate pressure vessel in a substantially upright orientation behind a cabin of the truck. The frame comprises a strut and a lower support arm providing a lower neck mount that is mounted to a lower axial end of the elongated pressure vessel. The lower support arm is connected to the strut by a bracket. The bracket is pivotable about a pivot axis that extends from the strut. The lower support arm is provided at a vertical distance below the pivot axis. The pivotable bracket is arranged for allowing a movement of the lower support arm over a guided path transverse to the pivot axis while maintaining the mechanical connection in case of an impact on the truck.
A truck, comprising a chassis that includes a pair of longitudinal chassis members that extend between a front axle and a rear axle of the truck, and a frame arranged for suspending an elongate pressure vessel in a substantially upright orientation behind a cabin of the truck, wherein the frame comprises a strut that extends upward from a top side of the chassis, and a lower support arm that extends from the strut and provides a lower neck mount that is mounted to a lower axial end of the elongated pressure vessel,
