Increase Semi Truck fuel efficiency by 30 to 50% and cut emissions by 30 to 95%?
Yes please.
Hydrogen Hybrid has developed the technology to fuel Class 8 Semi Trucks with their 8x Mega Fuel System. The First Hydrogen Class 8 Semi Truck was unveiled today by Hydrogen Hybrid and The Queen Mary of Long Beach.
The 8x Mega Fuel System works with diesel and gas engines to produce over 2,500 liters of hydrogen an hour. The Semi Truck was tested on a route from Ohio to California and back on a 14 liter engine running at 65 miles per hour. Wow.
Companies that convert their Semi Trucks with the 8x Mega Fuel System can increase profits by 50% a year, lower maintenance costs by 70%, and be considered a green company because of the extensive decrease in pollution.
So, make money and have the social status of a green company?
Amazing.
Not only does Hydrogen Hybrid produce fuel systems for semi trucks, they also produce fuel systems for basically any kind of car out there, if its diesel or gas. Maybe GM should use some of that bailout money on this…they may actually be able to pay it back…
So what do you think, is this the future of Semi Trucks? Will we finally begin to lose dependency on foreign oil?

I hope HYDB sells a lot of these. It seems to really work and extend the MPG while decreasing the toxic fumes!
I like your Blog!
This is pretty cool. Not sure it will get us completely off oil, but it’s certainly a step in the right direction. It will be great when this goes mainstream.
or an industry that is a leader in C02 emissions this seems like a sense able solution. Also the idea of saving money should be enough of an incentive for trucking companies. IN a recession economy though with gas prices on a temporary lull it may not get enough attention.

Hydrogen Hybrid Products has all of the information about the products and a phone number for more information. I hope that helps!
Hi Kate:)
It seems like these figures would be more than enough for companies to go green: “increase profits by 50% a year, lower maintenance costs by 70%”.
Now why would’nt they convert over to new semi trucks?
Seems to me me like an easy decision:)
