Sale to School District # 5 will be funded by B.C. Government as
precursor to sales on entire provincial fleet of buses PICKERING,
ON, June 6 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Hydrogen Hybrid Technologies
Inc. (OTCBB: HYHY) President Ira Lyons is pleased to announce the
sale of the first units of the newest line of emissions control and
fuel saving devices in North America. The units will be installed
on school buses operated by School District # 5 in the Province of
British Columbia, Canada. The sale marks the first government sale
in western Canada and the purchase of the units will be funded by
the provincial government. "The use of the new model of Hydrogen
Fuel Injection (HFI) products on school busses marks a milestone
and opens up a huge new market for HHT" said Mr. Lyons. "All across
North America, governments have recognized the serious hazard posed
by diesel fumes to school children riding buses for up to four
hours each day. In the California, alone, the state is spending $25
Million U.S., annually, to install exhaust abatement technologies
on school buses. The satisfactory results on the first two school
buses in B.C. are expected to lead to the adoption of HFI on every
school bus in B.C. and will, almost certainly, have equal success
in other provinces and states", added Lyons, "in part because HFI
is the only emissions control technology that also reduces fuel
use, meaning it is the only product of its kind that pays for
itself". HFI technology is installed as an add-on to diesel and
gasoline engines where it significantly reduces a wide variety of
emissions (CO, PM, HC, CO2 and NOx) while simultaneously reducing
fuel consumption by a guaranteed minimum of 10%. HFI units are
being used by over 150 fleets of long-haul transport trucks,
ambulances, municipal buses and other heavy equipment, earning HFI
the dominant position as the world's most widely-used on-board
electrolysers. The technology is based on electrolysis and the
units split water, on-board the ambulance, then vent the hydrogen
and oxygen directly into the air intake of the engine. Adding
hydrogen significantly improves the efficiency of combustion, in
the engine, with significant financial and environmental benefits.
HFI is distributed through the world's largest retail distribution
network for any hydrogen product, with over 140 Certified
Installation Centres all across Canada, the United States and
Mexico. Recently, geographical distribution has been expanded and
units are installed in Europe, South America and the UK. The
product is the first emission control technology to receive
"Environmental Technology Verification" (ETV) by the Canadian
government and the first hydrogen technology to receive ETV
recognition anywhere in the world. About Hydrogen Hybrid
