The Bridge Between
Diesel Today and
Hydrogen Tomorrow.
Transforming 1.2 billion existing diesel engines into clean, intelligent, profitable systems — without replacing a single truck. Deployable today. Everywhere.
Not a product. A global platform.
Even 1% global penetration = 12 million engines = CAD $540 billion in retrofit kit revenue.
No Scalable Fix
Full electrification is a multi-decade, multi-trillion-dollar project. The planet cannot wait. 85% of developing-world fleets are diesel-only — BEV is not viable.
BEV Cannot Scale
New BEV truck: $400K–$600K vs. Hydrix: $54,900. An 8–13× cost difference developing markets cannot bridge. Grid infrastructure alone costs $1.2T globally.
Mandates Are Arriving
Every major economy is now targeting freight transport. Carbon levies, shipper ESG requirements, and regulatory frameworks are converging simultaneously.
The solution must work NOW, in existing engines, without rebuilding infrastructure. Full electrification: commercially scaled 2030–2035+. HYDRIX: deployable today, in the trucks fleets already own.
Not a mechanical add-on.
A software intelligence layer.
HCU-128™ is engine-agnostic. The same control intelligence adapts to DD15, Cummins, CAT, Volvo, Scania — and any diesel engine globally. This is what makes HYDRIX a platform, not a product.
Hardware Layer
- ›Per-cylinder H₂ injection rail (7075-T6 Al + SS316L)
- ›Custom universal adapter plate — zero permanent modification
- ›Sensor ecosystem: pressure, temp, flow, O₂
- ›Triple-redundant safety: SW + solenoid + hard-line
- ›IP67 marine-grade enclosure for all climates
HCU-128™ Control Core
- ›Closed-loop H₂ mass-flow control
- ›Torque-based blending logic
- ›Predictive derate algorithms
- ›CAN/J1939 + OBD integration
- ›ISO 26262 functional-safety kernel
- ›OTA firmware updates
Intelligence & Data Layer
- ›Fleet analytics dashboard — per-truck live data
- ›Carbon credit engine — auto-calculates OBPS/CARB
- ›Predictive maintenance via ML fault prediction
- ›Multi-engine calibration profiles (DD15→Cummins→CAT→Volvo)
- ›API for fleet management system integration
Platform Key Insight: Adding a new engine requires weeks of calibration, not new hardware. Every new engine profile = near-zero marginal R&D cost. This is the Hydrix platform moat.
One platform.
Every major diesel powertrain.
1.2 billion engines in scope. Same hardware, new calibration profile. Phase 1 through Phase 4 covers 80% of global Class 8 diesel engines.
