Hy-Drive Technologies Ltd., Toronto, (TSX-V: HGS), has launched its Integrated Product Team (IPT) Partnership Program under which it plans to install 100 Hydrogen Generation System (HGS) units of its Clean Burn Technology(TM) on selected partner trucks by year-end. The IPT program has been initiated to maintain an existing market penetration momentum and generate a controlled case study to serve as a verifiable reference. The program will involve a series of existing customer fleet operators already familiar with the company and technology, as well as a number of new IPT partners.
Under the program, each unit installed will be equipped with a PeopleNet(TM) system. This system is capable of tracking mileage to the tenth of a gallon and controlling the data for variables such as excess idle times, truck speed, and elevated RPM's. Monitored results will provide the Company with a significant level of statistically verifiable field data on HGS performance. . . .
Hy-Drive is an energy technology firm that has developed a proprietary, patented hydrogen generating system. The Hy-Drive system generates and injects hydrogen gas into a regular internal combustion engine.
A previous post described similar technology, hydrogen fuel injection (HFI), being developed by Canadian Hydrogen Fuel Company (CHEC).
Perhaps PRV Performance, previous post, should incorporate hydrogen injection into its product, they are working on adding water injection, which might use a similar configuration.
I tested a 2.1 liter naturally aspirated DI industrial disel on a precision eddy current dyno and used a Hy-drive hydrogen generation system. The engine tested is a much smaller engine than used in the trucking industry so the effect should have been noticible if there is any truth to the story.
There was no measurable effect on fuel consumption.

Good information about energy saving devices. As the demand and price for oil increases, these energy saving measures will be necessary to curtail costs and save the environment.

i agree with truck bed covers. as the burden on natural resources increases, we will have to search for alternate methods for producing energy.

There is simple not going to be a change in oil usage as long as there is oil but it will be very expensive as long as it holds out.

It will be beneficial if it used nowadays on vehicles. It will lessen the effects of global warming.

This innovation should be useful in many ways. In must be in demand now that times are tough on the environment.

All this data monitoring a little out of control. The problem is that if the system, meaning the truck, is dependand on the monitoring information, then is becomes a problem is the system fails. As we attempt to become more sophicated, we become more enslaved to technology. I love my old chevy truck with a 35o engine with no computer controlled crap.
