Safra expects certification of its hydrogen retrofit kit
The Safra business is “in the home stretch” of getting its hydrogen conversion kit, which will be displayed in October 2022 at the Autocar Expo trade show, approved.
This kit converts the engine of a diesel coach into a zero-emission vehicle that runs on hydrogen and emits only water vapor. It is registered under the H2-Pack trademark and is backed by Ademe. Studies on dependability were already conducted during the design phase.
