Hydrogen Hybrid Technologies (HHT), the makers of hydrogen fuel injection (HFI) systems for large and small trucks, buses and emergency vehicles has gotten a bid to install its units in Canadian School buses. The HFI devices will help British Columbia school buses in School District 5 increase gas mileage while reducing emissions.

The HFI technology electrolyzes water (H2O) to create a small amount of HHO gas, which it then injects into an engine’s intake system. The hydrogen and oxygen help an engine to burn more cleanly and use less fuel. In the Autumn of 2007, Hydrogen Hybrid Technologies also started working with the South Korean government on supplying 100,000 HFI units to the trucking industry in that country.

According to Ira Lyons, President of HHT, “All across North America, governments have recognized the serious hazard posed by diesel fumes to school children riding buses for up to four hours each day … The satisfactory results on the first two school buses in B.C. are expected to lead to the adoption of HFI on every school bus in B.C. and will, almost certainly, have equal success in other provinces and states.”

Electrolysis units such as this have been around for a while and Hydrogen Hybrid Technologies has been a leader in this field for several years now. They currently offer the HFI LX Series and HFI SX Series units for large and small trucks, respectively.
