HYDI Hydrogen Direct Retrofitted to Diesel Metro Buses

HYDI have experienced unprecedented results when implementing HYDI systems in Adelaide Metro Buses.

Pre-trial fuel consumption:

October 40.5L/100km
November 40.9L/100km
December 43.7L/100km
AVERAGE 41.7L/100km

“set a new standard in Adelaide Metro Bus performance”

Trial fuel consumption:

April 24 installed
April 30 35.2L/100km
May 08 37.7L/100km
May 15 31.5/100km
May 29 35.7L/100km
June 05 36.1L/100km
AVERAGE  35.2L/100km

TEST 1 – Exhaust Emissions

 

HYDI OFF HYDI ON VARIATION
NO2 50 53 -6.0%
NOx 560 270 51.8%
NO 511 217 57.5%
CO 0 0 0

TEST 2 – Exhaust Emissions:

 

HYDI OFF HYDI ON VARIATION
NO2 71 19 73.2%
NOx 477 374 21.6%
NO 466 355 23.8%
CO 12 5 58.3%

Particulate Matter testing equipment not available.
Previous independent testing by University of SA on a generator recorded 80% reduction in PM emission.

“1560 performed surprisingly well throughout the day, the throttle response was much better than other buses, power from standing to desired speed was smooth and constant with little or no lag,
acceleration from any speed was quicker than most, held speed traversing Murrell Rd and McIntyre Rd with 5-8km/h loss. Overall very impressed with the performance of 1560. 1560 has set a new standard in Adelaide Metro Bus performance”.
