$HTPG HydroPlant™ Awarded Certification Issued by the Director of Transportation Technical Supervision in Poland Confirming It Has Met United Nations ECE Standards
Posted on May 4, 2015
Atlanta, GA and Wroclaw, Poland – May 4, 2015 – HydroPhi Technologies Group, Inc. (“HPTG”), a developer of the Hydrogen Hybrid™ approach to fuel efficiency and emissions reductions, today announced that it received certification issued by the Director of Transportation Technical Supervision in Poland (“TDT”) that confirms meeting United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (“UN ECE”) standards for its HydroPlant™ unit. Przemyslowy Instytut Motoryzacji (“PIMOT”, “Polish Automotive Industry Institute in Warsaw, Poland”) is an entity authorized by Polish Ministry of Infrastructure and Development to carry out evaluation and type-approval testing to UN ECE regulations, which is valid across all EU member countries. HydroPhi’s exclusive European licensee and distributor, HydroPhi Technologies Europe S.A. (“HTE”), will benefit from the issuance of this certification by allowing it to market, sell and distribute the HydroPlant™ technology for operation on buses and trucks throughout Europe.
HydroPlant™ technology has met the requirements of UN ECE Regulation No. 10, governing the approval of vehicles with regard to electromagnetic compatibility. The HydroPlant™ sub-assembly can be safely run across the European Union in the relevant classes of vehicles: Vehicle Classes M2 & M3 (buses) as well as Classes N1 (Pick-Up Trucks), N2 & N3 (Commercial Trucks) – without disturbing any electronic or radio frequency (RF) systems onboard the vehicle. These systems include engine and on-board vehicle control systems, vehicle accessories, vehicle communications networks and other communications systems.
Roger M. Slotkin, CEO of HydroPhi Technologies Group, Inc., stated, “This certification further validates an important use aspect of our technology and is a significant step forward towards the full commercial launch of the HydroPlant™ technology by our licensee partner across Poland and Europe. Our plan is to continue working with HTE in securing new business opportunities in Europe to test and implement our technology on their fleets of vehicles. We see a significant European market potential for our technology given the positive feedback from bus companies, refuse fleets and trucking fleets looking for cost-effective solutions to reduce fuel consumption, while meeting new environmental regulations.”
About HydroPhi
HydroPhi Technologies Group, Inc. (HPTG) is a developer of water-based hydrogen fuel production systems. The Company’s technology isn’t a fuel cell, nor is it a hydrogen alternative to traditional hydrocarbon fuels. The system utilizes distilled water for the production of hydrogen and oxygen, which is then injected into the air intake of an engine utilizing carbon-based fuels such as diesel, unleaded gasoline and natural gas. HPTG’s technology, (HydroPlant™) has been customer-tested with resulting reduced vehicle operating costs by improved fuel efficiency up to 20%, while lowering greenhouse gas emissions up to 70%. By using an on-board, on-demand electrolysis system to separate hydrogen and oxygen from water, the technology eliminates the need for high-pressure hydrogen storage or hazardous chemicals while producing a stable, inexpensive alternative fuel source. By offering a real-time monitoring system as part of a hydrogen fuel solution with retrofit capability into standard vehicle engines, HPTG provides fuel-efficiency to a potentially broad spectrum of users, including logistics, trucking, heavy equipment, marine and agriculture.
