Why choose HPDI
HPDI (High Pressure Direct Injection) technology is more cost effective than fuel cells in terms of CO2 reduction. HPDI with 40% biomethane is particularly attractive from a CO2 reduction cost perspective. Biomethane is already broadly available and its availability will grow to reach the share of 40% of total natural gas consumption in Europe, by 2030.
HPDI H2 fuel system equipped engines offer far greater CO2 reductions for every Euro of public and private investment, compared to fuel cells. Based on our current technology, the HPDI H2 fuel system avoids reliance on the sensitive and expensive minerals used in fuel cell catalysts and batteries, resulting in a far lower cost base than fuel cells.
Low threshold for diesel engine manufacturers
One of the standout features of HPDI is its seamless integration into existing vehicle architectures. Equipment manufacturers can leverage existing engineering talent and experience, installed investments, and decades of technology development in vehicle powertrain design, supply chain, and manufacturing. The base diesel engine remains unchanged. What changes is the fuel delivery system. Once converted, the same HPDI components are used for CNG, LNG, H2.
