H2Boost retrofit hydrogen system for diesel trucks: fuel savings and emissions reduction
bigrigs.com.auH2Boost offers a retrofit hydrogen on demand unit for diesel trucks that uses electrolysis to convert demineralised water into hydrogen gas. The hydrogen is added to the air fuel mix to improve combustion efficiency. The company claims fuel savings of 8 to 17 percent based on early user feedback, along with reduced diesel particulate matter and soot in engine oil. The unit can be installed in half a day and is offered through a fully maintained lease model that the company says costs less than the operational savings it generates. The system is designed for fleets that want to lower fuel costs and emissions without buying new electric trucks. H2Boost is offering free trials to fleets, with results expected within two months. The article is a sponsored piece, so independent verification of the claimed savings is still needed. For fleets running diesel trucks, this could be a low capex way to cut fuel use and carbon emissions if the numbers hold up in real world conditions.
