Q: Is HHydrOdrive the same as Pure Hydrogen technology?

A: No, HHydrOdrive is not the same as Pure Hydrogen technology. HHydrOdrive is a hydrogen hybrid technology that works with existing diesel engines. 

Q: How does HHydrOdrive work?

A: HHydrOdrive produces hydrogen-oxygen gas (HHO) on-demand through electrolysis. The HHO is mixed with diesel fuel to add more energy and improve combustion efficiency.

Q: What is HHydrOdrive?

A: HHydrOdrive is a patented hydrogen hybrid technology that can be easily integrated into existing diesel engines, offering an instant 20% reduction in fuel consumption and emissions without the need for vehicle replacement.

Q: Is it easy to fit a HHydrOdrive unit?

A: Yes. The system is designed for same-day installation, so you get immediate benefits without significant downtime. In fact, it’s so simple we can quickly train your technicians to do it themselves for future installations.

Q: Do I need to buy new vehicles to use HHydrOdrive technology?

A: No, HHydrOdrive can be easily integrated into existing diesel engines, avoiding the high upfront costs associated with purchasing new EV or pure hydrogen vehicles.

Q: How safe is the HHydrOdrive system?

A: HHydrOdrive includes a computerised monitoring system that constantly checks production parameters, ensuring safe and reliable operation.

Q: How do the fuel costs per mile compare across different technologies for heavy-duty trucks?

A: @ £1.15 per litre of diesel for heavy-duty trucks, the fuel costs per mile are approximately: Diesel (£0.629), HHydrOdrive (£0.503), EV (£0.653), and Pure Hydrogen (£1.104 - £1.406).

Q: How does the cost of HHydrOdrive compare to electric vehicles (EVs) and pure hydrogen vehicles?

A: HHydrOdrive is generally more cost-effective than pure hydrogen vehicles and is competitive with EVs, especially when factoring in the costs of public charging.

Q: What are the environmental benefits of HHydrOdrive?

A: HHydrOdrive reduces CO2 emissions by 20% compared to standard diesel engines. For a heavy-duty truck, this can mean a reduction of about 21 (see above) tonnes of CO2 per year.

Q: Does HHydrOdrive reduce emissions other than CO2?

A: Yes, in addition to CO2 reductions, HHydrOdrive significantly reduces other pollutants such as sulphur oxides, nitrogen oxides, and particulate matter.

Q: What is the expected return on investment for HHydrOdrive?

A: The typical ROI for HHydrOdrive is less than seven months for average heavy-duty truck usage.

Q: What are the maintenance requirements for vehicles equipped with HHydrOdrive?

A: If you strictly follow HHydrOdrive exploitation instructions, no maintenance is required. Alternatively, you can book a quick check with our professional team at very reasonable cost.

Q: What are the long-term cost implications of choosing HHydrOdrive over other technologies?

A: While EVs and pure hydrogen vehicles have higher upfront costs, HHydrOdrive offers immediate fuel cost savings without requiring vehicle replacement. It also provides a hedge against potential future taxation on electricity for transport, which could affect EV operating costs.

Q: What certifications and patents does HHydrOdrive have?

A: HHydrOdrive (listed as HG2014) has obtained EU safety and compliance, EMC standards, and TUV Nord certification. Patents have been filed and granted across the UK, the European Union, South Korea, China, Japan, and India, reflecting the technology's credibility and intellectual property protection.

Q: How does HHydrOdrive perform in terms of range and speed compared to other technologies?

A: HHydrOdrive doesn't affect the range of the vehicle. On the contrary - it is increasing the range due to lower diesel consumption as it works with the existing diesel engine. This gives it an advantage over EVs, which has range and maximum speed limitations, especially for heavy-duty trucks.

Q: How does HHydrOdrive address concerns about future energy taxation policies?

A: If,  as is predicted by economics experts, governments introduce new taxes on electricity for transport (to replace lost fuel duty revenues), HHydrOdrive's economies will increase its efficiency relative to both electric and pure hydrogen vehicles.
