HydroPhi
Technologies, developers of a highly scalable fuel saving hydrogen-on-demand
technology, which is distinct from all other commercially available mobile
hydrogen platforms in that it forms pure hydrogen and oxygen from the
electrolysis of water molecules, announced today that their HydroPlant™ fuel
system testing in transit busses will expand to Guadalajara, as the biggest
public transport bus owners association in Mexico, Rutas Unidas Federación de
Transportistas Independientes de Mexico, moves to conduct field testing on the
system this April.
One look at the
company’s patent-pending HydroPlant design (using a Proton Exchange Membrane
electrolyzer cell), which bundles all the necessary components into a single
intelligent system for integration directly with a vehicle’s fuel supply, and
it becomes strikingly clear that serious on-board hydrogen injection technology
has finally arrived. Hydrogen injected into the air intake on a typical diesel
or gasoline engine can produce incredible performance results, with fuel
savings in the range of 13% to 27% for Class Five to Class Seven vehicles and
as much as 10% to 17% in Class 8 rigs.
Initial testing of
the HydroPlant in two busses by Rutas Unidas, in what is Jalisco’s largest
city, and the 10th largest in all of Latin America by population (Guadalajara),
is a solid benchmarking strategy and HPTG was also pleased to announce today
that they have received the first purchase orders already from various Rutas
affiliates for commercial system installations in Mexico City during the second
half of 2014. Earlier pilot testing by Rutas in transit busses really laid the
groundwork here, with demonstrations consistently coming back above 20% fuel
savings during the four week pilot testing interval.
This latest field
testing is a logical evolution of the process and the target market in Mexico
City alone is extremely juicy for HPTG, with over 8k transit busses that could
benefit from the system, 2.75k of which are associated with Rutas. Guadalajara
is also quite large of course and is on par with a city like Monterrey,
affording HPTG a second ripe and immediate target with some 2.5k transit busses
(1.2k of which are associated with Rutas).
President of Rutas
Unidas, José Escalante, was happy to note that while testing of the HydroPlant
technology was still underway, results thus far have been very successful and
the technology represents a very bright future for Rutas’ growing fleet.
Escalante emphasized the importance of the technology in helping to also curb
carbon emissions, before hammering home the savings and ameliorative effects
this technology has on rising fuel costs and thus Rutas’ bottom line.
CEO of HPTG, Roger
Slotkin, explained the significance of the deal in terms of future sales, as
well as validation of the company’s underlying technology. Slotkin also argued
that the high return-on-investment for individual fleet operators from adoption
of this technology should become more and more readily apparent to target
markets throughout all of Latin America as a result of the expanded field
testing.
Slotkin is clearly
determined not to rest on laurels in Mexico City or Guadalajara and indicated
that HPTG’s expansion throughout the rich target markets of Latin America,
which are already highly receptive to the technology, was already mapped out
via the company’s internal planning initiatives. The commercial installations
in Mexico City should really be something for investors to sink their teeth
into and it would be wise to keep an ear to the ground for news and results
from of such developments by HPTG.
