CLOGGED DPF COSTING YOU FUEL ECONOMY?

Ash from your engine oil is likely to blame.

Incombustible ash particles from today’s heavy-duty engine oils clog the diesel particulate filter (DPF) in engine aftertreatment systems, decreasing fuel efficiency and increasing fuel costs across your fleet. Now there’s a breakthrough solution. 90% OF INCOMPUSTIBLES IN THE DPF COME FROM LUBRICANTS

NEW Delo® 600 ADF: Less ash. More fuel efficiency.

Delo 600 ADF with OMNIMAX™ Technology solves the issue of DPF ash buildup while providing outstanding engine protection. By producing 60% less ash compared to today’s low-ash engine oils, Delo 600 ADF increases fuel economy retention by up to 3% to keep vehicles running stronger, longer. Protect your engine and your aftertreatment system with new Delo 600 ADF.

It’s time to kick some ash.

Hyrda Energy Partners with First Truck Centre

I

n its quest to rapidly scale converting heavy-duty vehicles to run on both hydrogen and diesel, Hydra Energy has partnered with First Truck Centre in its aim at reducing carbon emissions by up to 40% per truck. First Truck Centre has 13 locations across Western Canada including centres in Prince George, B.C. and Edmonton, Alberta where Hydra has announced its first two fleet customers. Under the agreement, First Truck Centre will provide feedback on Hydra’s four-day installation training manual, which their mechanics will complete to become official Hydra conversion kit installers. After this, these conversion kit certified installers will perform maintenance going forward, allowing First Truck Centre to service and support Hydra’s economical lowemission solution for fleet customers. In exchange, Hydra will provide all hydrogen conversion training to First Truck Centre mechanics and hydrogen conversion technology documentation, including emissions and reliability reports, which are relevant to some of the world’s largest truck manufacturers. “Furthering relationships like this one with First Truck Centre is the fastest way for Hydra to convert more heavyduty vehicles to run on both hydrogen and diesel. It’s also critical that we work with partners who have existing relationships with fleets so Hydra’s two-day conversion and any ongoing maintenance can be done locally,” stated Hydra CEO, Jessica Verhagen. “We’re honoured to work alongside the First Truck Centre team and welcome their experienced input as we continue to perfect our economical, transition solution on the road to Net Zero.” Added First Truck Centre President, Rod Graham, “After seeing first-hand a Hydra-converted truck performing so well in the tough northern Canadian conditions of extreme cold, challenging terrain, and heavy payloads, we knew we had to learn more about the company and their solution.” As part of this partnership, both companies are being supported by the Centre for Innovation and Clean Energy (CICE), a non-profit founded by the Government of British Columbia and Shell to enable clean energy breakthroughs that will help the province get to Net Zero, and beyond. Hydra and First Truck Centre are excited for CICE’s recently awarded grant and look forward to further collaboration to ensure B.C.’s commercial transportation industry has broad access to low-carbon hydrogen and technology. Beyond our excitement to work with an industry leader like First Truck Centre, we’re also very grateful for the support of CICE who recognizes Hydra’s role in immediately reducing B.C. emissions in one of the most challenging sectors,” added Verhagen. “Achieving Net Zero in transportation is going to take more than one type of solution so having a government that is technology neutral and supports various emissionsreduction innovations is critical and appreciated.” In Prince George specifically, First Truck Centre and Dymin will be undertaking the remaining 64 hydrogen truck conversions that will fill up at the world’s largest hydrogen refuelling station Hydra is in the process of building, scheduled to be operational by the end of 2023.
