Change Fuel Technologies
Change Fuel Technologies was born from HW Richardson Group’s (HWR) desire to create game-changing transport. The NZ-based company developed the technology and capability to enable the retrofitting of existing diesel heavy transport assets to a dual-fuel hydrogen system.
Its technology enables an option for the transport industry to provide a low-carbon option for their customers, and this investment in driving asset conversion supports the progressive development of hydrogen refuelling infrastructure by creating a demand pipeline.
Dual-fuel conversion allows transport operators to reduce carbon emissions without range anxiety and payload deficit.
Change Fuel Technologies’ system gives the transporter a value-add product and allows the transport industry to move beyond price and enables corporates and environmentally aware organisations to tangibly decrease transport carbon emissions.
