KEYOU, a hydrogen technology company based in Munich, and HOERBIGER, a leading automotive supplier worldwide, have joined forces to develop injection technology for hydrogen engines.
Joint development, production, and commercialization of hydrogen injectors have recently been agreed upon by both companies. For the high-performance heavy-duty segment, PFI injectors are being developed.
Both companies share a common goal: to hasten the introduction of hydrogen engines to the market through the use of cutting-edge hydrogen technologies.
“The injector”, explains Thomas Korn, co-founder and CEO of KEYOU GmbH, “is one of the key components of our ‘KEYOU-inside system’, which can be integrated into new and existing engines. If, in addition to the development of new engines, the conversion of existing diesel vehicles for hydrogen is also taken into account, decarbonization in the commercial vehicle sector can be achieved quickly and cost-effectively. With HOERBIGER, we have a competent development partner with many years of experience in the development, production, and commercialization of gas valves at our side. For us as an innovation driver in the field of hydrogen engines, this perfectly complements our knowledge and expertise in the field of hydrogen technologies,” Thomas Korn continues.
HOERBIGER also sees the partnership extremely positively: “HOERBIGER Engine Technology is fully committed to leading innovation in zero-emission hydrogen-based fuel injection technology and is now looking forward to making this journey even more successful with KEYOU for the benefit of our customers”, explains Bernhard Zemann, Head of HOERBIGER Engine Technology.
