According to Hydrogen Hybrid Corp., modifying a Class 8 truck with its 8x Mega Fuel Cell System can produce enough hydrogen on board to cut the truck's emissions by 30 to 95%, increase fuel mileage 30 to 50%, and extend engine life.

Measuring 24×18×18 in., the fuel cell system works with the truck's engine to produce over 2,500 liters of hydrogen per hour, the company says, converting water into a hydrogen fuel using resonant electrolysis.

In addition, the system uses fuel additives to increase engine lubrication and heat exchangers to maximize compression combustion in the engine, according to Hydrogen Hybrid. The company added that testing showed an increase of more than 3 mpg while idle gallons per hour were decreased from 1 to 0.1 gal./hr.
