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 |

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”.
