Hydroxi on FAW trucks

Installed in a FAW J5N 28.380FT 6×4. Hydroxi has been fitted to a FAW J5N truck working in South Africa. The cab tilts, so we redesigned the unit’s box and mounted it on the chassis behind the cab, and we added a larger external water tank at the client’s request so it needs refilling less often. On one truck, the client’s test-run data showed 2.2 km/L before Hydroxi, then 2.78 and 2.66 km/L, the best in the fleet against a comparison-fleet average of 2.32 and 2.19. If you run FAW trucks, verify compatibility or pilot one truck first.

Evidence

FAW J5N client test run, South Africa: 2.2 km/L before Hydroxi. Compared with the other trucks in the same fleet (7 in the first period, 5 in the second), over the same periods and measured by the same telematics system, the Hydroxi-fitted FAW J5N delivered the best km/L of the logged fleet both times: 2.78 and 2.66 km/L, against a comparison-fleet average of 2.32 and 2.19. One truck, client test-run data.
