by Alset Global. This software controls the ECU of the vehicle and shifts between the petrol and hydrogen fuels. The software ensures that the vehicle's benefits from the hydrogen are at its maximum level without risking the journey to run out of hydrogen or petrol fuels. The main reasoning behind this system is to make drivers comfortable with the range of hydrogen and ensure them that petrol fuel can be supplied to the system at any time. Until the infrastructure for hydrogen filling stations is totally established, Alset Global's fuel switch system will increase the confidence and serenity of drivers who wish to make long road trips.

hydrogen fuel. Alset Global has proven the complete safety of its system through the safety requirements met at Nürburgring's 24-hour Race. This race is considered as one of the toughest technical challenges race cars can face in the world. In addition, hydrogen is known to be as much as four times more diffusive than natural gas. This means that if hydrogen gas is leaking, it will quickly go up in the atmosphere. Furthermore, when hydrogen burns, its radiant heat is just one-tenth that of a hydrocarbon fire. Finally, hydrogen burns 7 per cent cooler than gasoline, reducing heat losses.

adequate infrastructure. Furthermore, even if the infrastructure was to be fully established, the existing conventional vehicles running on internal combustion engines would not be able to benefit from the zero-emission hydrogen technology. Today, internal combustion engines represent 99.9% of the market. Therefore, Alset Global's alternative system is needed to transform and improve conventional vehicles and ultimately benefit the automotive industry from the developing hydrogen infrastructure.

Global from the others. Eight years of research and development have led to a very efficient way to burn hydrogen and use the fuel's full potential. Nevertheless, the details of this technology are not revealed to the public. Alset Global holds various patents for the future implications of this system and therefore the information is concealed.

same principle as the petrol internal combustion engine, the driving experience does not alter due to an alternative fuel. Indeed, Alset mentioned that the engine sound is nearly the same as the petrol engine. Therefore, unlike other alternative fuel technologies, automotive makers do not have to provide artificial engine noise for the drivers.

Alset Global developed this technology after identifying a gap in the hydrogen market. Indeed, hydrogen fuel cell technology is expensive to develop, and a hydrogen infrastructure has not been established yet. Because the fuel cell technology is limited to hydrogen, it cannot be mass-produced without

Hydrogen system runs parallel to a conventional petrol injection system. Alset Global designed this architecture so that it can be installed in any vehicle with minimum modification to the existing system. The shift between the petrol and the hydrogen is achieved by the software developed

The
Hydrogen Hybrid system is as safe as traditional petrol-powered engines, according to Alset Global. They stress that the hydrogen tank is designed to offer the same level of safety as petrol-powered vehicles, with no or little risk. Indeed, ultra-high-strength fibre tanks ensure the safety of

Alset Global conducted a special test drive in Graz for the
Hydrogen Hybrid technology. Based on feedback from individuals who drove using this technology, running on a mixture of hydrogen and petrol compared to running on petrol alone was not significantly different. As the system works with the

The engine of the Aston Martin Rapide S used for the
Hydrogen Hybrid application was a twin-turbocharged 6-litre V12 engine that can generate 550 PS (405 kW) and reach a top speed of 306 km/h (190 mph). It competed in the experimental E1-XP2 class.

Alset Global emphasises the importance of hydrogen technology for sustainable mobility. The main argument for hydrogen usage is its renewable energy attribute and the fact that it does not pollute the environment. These reasons have elevated the importance of
