Economics and responsible business demand alternatives.
Businesses dependent on fossil fuels are under tremendous competitive
pressure to seek efficiencies where they can, and at the same
time responsible business practices require sensitivity to the
impact they have on the environment. Legislation is further
reinforcing the urgent need for solutions to current emissions
levels of commercial and private vehicles. Hydrogen has become
a central theme in many developing technologies, and has gained
worldwide attention as "the next big thing." The promise
of cheap, clean power is undeniably attractive, and the hydrogen
fuel cell has secured millions of dollars in funding for research
around the world and has even become a political plank in the
platforms of the leading industrial nations.
The reality is that the hydrogen fuel cell is a long way
off, and it does not provide a solution for the 711 million
vehicles on the road today. The hydrogen fuel cell requires
storing hydrogen gas. Hydrogen gas can be a highly dangerous
substance if stored on board the vehicle. While there may
eventually be a hydrogen fuel cell system vehicle that can
match the reliability and performance of the internal combustion
engine some time in the next decade, a hydrogen fuel cell-powered
vehicle still requires a completely different engine. This
is not a viable solution for anyone with investments in a
vehicle today.
CHEC's flagship product, the CHEC HFI hydrogen injection
system, is a hydrogen solution for today's needs. The HFI
enhances combustion by injecting hydrogen into the engine.
The improved efficiency reduces emissions, reduces fuel consumption
by at least 10%, and the superior combustion increases the
engine's power while reducing wear.
It is a bolt-on aftermarket part that produces its own hydrogen
during operation. Hydrogen is not stored on board. It works
with any internal combustion engine, using all types of fuels
(gasoline, diesel, natural gas, etc.), and in all climates.
The patented CHEC HFI hydrogen injection system traces it
roots back to work done at the Jet Propulsion Lab, California
Institute of Technology in 1974 on the uses of hydrogen as
a combustion enhancing agent for the internal combustion engine.
The CHEC HFI has seen 50,000,000 miles of testing over the
last four years, ensuring it is reliable, safe, and delivers
where the rubber meets the road.
