The newest product offering—the HFI LX Series - was launched in July 2007 and is designed for applications in the Heavy Goods Vehicle (HGV) market. HGVs are Class 7 and Class 8 heavy duty, long-haul trucks & buses (7.3 to 16 litres) that typically run on diesel. The HFI unit uses distilled water, runs for 65 hours between fills, and incorporates a number of safety features the most salient of which is the fact that no hydrogen is stored on-board since it is generated only on-demand. An optional on-board digital controller monitors the device and also allows for two-way wireless connection, via satellite, along with full GPS capability. Software updates and monitoring can be performed remotely. Additional revenue streams are possible by leveraging this communications ability as a complementary business, both as a fleet management service and as a personal communications service.
A second, smaller device—the HFI LT Series—was released in November 2005 for application on passenger vehicles andClass 1 through Class 4 light trucks up to 7.3 litres. Current plans call for the innovations in the LX series to be incorporated in the smaller unit with the updated model - the SX - being released in the fall of 2007. CHEC has developed a complete supply chain for all components and has certified all suppliers. Current production capacity stands at 2000 units per month with planned expansion to 10,000 units per month.
The product is completely safe, extremely durable, capable of operating under any climatic conditions, and engineered to last for at least a decade in the toughest environments. No engine warranty is voided by the addition of the HFI LX or LT device or, to the best of our knowledge, from the addition of hydrogen to fossil fuels used in any internal combustion engine. |
