There is no risk to the operator or anybody else for this matter. The system works at 30 bar if a leak is detected the shut down valve is on the tank its self-allowing any ammonia in the pipe system to be burnt in the engine. The truck then goes into full electric mode and can be driven out side by the operator or the engineer. Any of the leaked ammonia is kept in side the powerpack its self so there is no danger to any one


We have also looked a cost per hour comparison to a 10,000kg diesel truck.

A diesel truck cost around $10 per hour to run including fuel and service charges.

A all electric truck cost around $4 per hour to run including electric and ser-vice charges.

A all ammonia hybrid cost $2,5 per hour to run including fuel and service charges.
