The Hydrodrive costs around £2,900, including life-time maintenance (3years), but the full unit cost can be deducted from profits before tax (Annual Investment Allowance) in the UK with alternates existing in the EU, which in essence means a zero cost to your company. The B9 liquid that we use is bought as a separate item at a minimal cost per year dependant on the size of the engine and miles done.
In principle YES!
The UK government as part of its campaign to reduce the UK to zero carbon footprint by 2050 is incentivising the uptake of new emissions reduction technology.
In terms of payment, your accountant in the UK will claim Annual Investment Allowance (AIA), which means that the full capital cost is deducted from profits, therefore no cost to your company. We will set the monthly premium lower than the expected savings, allowing you to maximise your fuel cost savings, thus increasing your profit potential.
The installation time should take about an hour perhaps a little longer, but this will be carried out when the vehicle is on “downtime”.
The product is remotely monitored and maintained by a qualified Smart-H Engineer as part of a service regimen and the electrolyte top up is similar to topping up the windscreen washer bottle and done by the vehicle operator.
NO!
All we are doing is adding a tiny blend of better combustion gases. We have no more effect on the engine than if the vehicle were used in Denver then the Oxygen levels go down to the air intake due to higher altitude, or if you went past a Sewerage plant the methane level has gone up (Indeed the units have actually been tested in Denver and proved that the HydroDrive can compensate for altitude differences).
We are also covered by third party Liability Insurance up to ₤1M.
YES!
There are competing technologies and there have been previous systems, however almost all the research shows that it is Hydrogen Injection that produces positive results.
The HydroDrive produces a flow of necessary gases only. We separate out the Hydrogen using a specialised gas seperation technique that we designed in-house.
Injection of any additional gases, for example Oxygen (O2), will act negatively and increase some emissions, because the O2 sensors on the engine and exhaust will also compensate for an increase in O2 and perhaps alter any beneficial outcome.
Many alternative emission reduction technologies are under investigation by the manufacturers; however creating a usable product has been a 10 year process for us.
Given time we would expect to see the units used as part of an accepted technology suite for reducing emissions.
We are already in discussions with a major manufacturer!
Smart-H is actively seeking operators that want to have the greenest vehicles.
If you are a fleet owner of more than 100 vehicles we will offer a premium discount package for you to be part of our partnering program.
You can contact us directly or through the website.
We are also actively seeking partners to be part of our research program, taking advantage of potential government grants in a Six Sigma process of continual improvement.
NO! Definitely NOT!!
Our Green chemistry is one of the many reasons that the "HydroDrive Energy Cell™" is unique.
While others use rare earth minerals, exotic substances that are difficult to manufacture, and even worse have to have special disposal regulations imposed by the EPA, our B9 GREEN-Chem is exactly that, Benign.
Made from a special unique blend of FDA and EU approved ingredients, ourtop-up liquid is so good it can even pass the strictest of environmental and health testing.
Greener than green, this product has no harmful effects either in mixing, usage, blending, or disposal. B9™ is a zero maintenance, sustainable catalyst, producing High-Grade Hydrogen.
We are very proud of this fact!
We have invested a lot of time and thought into the design of the HydroDrive with one of the goals being to make a product that uses as many recycled materials as humanly possible. The housing and the En-Cell are made from more than 80% recycled plastic and steel. Although we hope one day to be able to improve that to as near 100% as possible.
A continuous process of improvement for Smart-H!
PM2.5 emissions from diesel exhausts on trucks, buses and plant machinery
contain high levels of black carbon, which has been found to be 4 to 9 times more
deadly than other types of PM2.5.
It is a serious issue to human health worldwide in both respiratory and cancer related
diseases.
Smart-H and the Mayor of London are in complete agreement!
