Problem
Heavy-duty vehicle fleets face increasing pressure to reduce CO2 emissions, but transitioning to new electric or fuel-cell vehicles requires significant capital investment and infrastructure changes. Existing diesel engines contribute heavily to pollution, and fleet operators need a cost-effective way to achieve zero-emission transportation without overhauling their entire fleet.
Solution
KEYOU offers a solution by converting existing diesel engines to run on hydrogen, providing a more affordable path to zero-emission heavy-duty transport. Their KEYOU-inside hydrogen engine technology allows fleet operators to maintain their current business model while significantly reducing their carbon footprint. The company provides an all-inclusive mobility service, encompassing vehicle conversion, maintenance, insurance, and access to hydrogen fuel, streamlining the transition to sustainable transportation. By upgrading core subsystems of existing engines, KEYOU optimizes hydrogen combustion, delivering performance comparable to diesel with zero CO2 emissions.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes fleet operators of heavy-duty vehicles, particularly those seeking cost-effective solutions for reducing CO2 emissions and transitioning to sustainable transportation.
