GreenCell Technologies, Canada: WYTHEVILLE, VA - The Pepsi Bottling Group's truck fleet in the New River Valley region of Virginia has added 21 hydrogen-injected trucks in an effort to boost fuel efficiency and reduce emissions.
The trucks were purchased from Hydrogen Leasing Co., a subsidiary of Dynamic Fuel Systems' U.S. dealers, Hydrogen Fuel Systems Inc.
GreenCell Technologies, Canada: Dynamic Fuel Systems Inc., based in Canada, provides a transportable hydrogen generator retrofit targeted for use in the heavy tractor trailer industry.
The Pepsi Bottling Group's new hydrogen-injected trucks are equipped with Dynamic's Jetstar, an onboard portable hydrogen generator that injects small amounts of hydrogen into the air intake as a combustion stimulant. The process is designed to reduce nitrogen oxides and hydrocarbon emissions, resulting in more power and better fuel economy.
GreenCell Tek Canada: "The expansion of our fleet of alternative-fuel vehicles in the New River Valley region signals our commitment to playing an active role in helping Virginia achieve its long-term energy and climate objectives," ...
... said Bill Reeser, vice president and general manager of Pepsi Bottling Group's Virginia market unit. "These investments will also generate future cost savings for PBG, making it a winning proposition for everyone involved."
GreenCell Technology is a Canadian company dedicated to designing and bringing to market, technology-based products in the alternative energy market. The current product is called the HydroCell, an on-board on-demand hydrogen generator engineered specifically for Diesel Transport Trucks.
The HydroCell produces Hydrogen Gas, on demand, and adds it to the air drawn into a diesel engine. This small quantity of Hydrogen has large effects on the combustion process. The result is approximately 10% fuel savings and up to a 60% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions (nitrous oxides, hydrocarbons and carbon monoxide).
GreenCell Technologies is also involved in the Solar Energy market. We are currently conducting research and developing strategies to open an alternative energy division that will offer product, consultation and installation services for the Canadian market.
GreenCell Tek Canada: The HYDROCELL system is a safe and reliable product designed exclusively for the Diesel Transport Truck market. The HYDROCELL draws only 25 Amps from the vehicles 12 Volt system and generates enough hydrogen through-out the entire RPM range to enhance combustion.
GreenCell's advanced feedback system monitors several conditions and adjusts the electrolysis process, to provide safe and efficient production of Hydrogen gas. The system was designed to operate in a temperature range of -40 to +60C and has an in-cab indicator to show system status. Installation requires no modification to the engine and does not affect the manufacturer's warranty. The only maintenance needed is the addition of distilled water every 250 hours of operation.
GreenCell Tek Canada: It has been proven in validated tests that adding Hydrogen to fuel in an internal combustion engine will increase the flame speed. At various RPM's the fuel that is present in the cylinder is not completely burned during the combustion cycle due to the flame speed of petroleum based fuels and the amount of time the combustion cycle is allowed, due to engine speed and load.
