Alset Global GmbH is an Austrian technology and engineering company based in Graz that specialises in hydrogen-based clean mobility products.
[3] Alset's Hybrid Hydrogen technology was featured on an Aston Martin Rapide S during the Nürburgring 24-Hour race in Germany.
[5] These reasons have elevated the importance of hydrogen technology in the automotive industry, which has been trying to cope with tight emission regulations due to the threat of climate change.
Through the Hydrogen Hybrid technology, the existing internal combustion vehicles are able to reduce their CO2 emission levels to zero and consume a renewable energy resource.
Until the infrastructure for hydrogen filling stations is totally established, Alset Global's fuel switch system will increase the confidence and serenity of drivers who wish to make long road trips.
[12] Furthermore, even if the infrastructure was to be fully established, the existing conventional vehicles running on internal combustion engines would not be able to benefit from the zero-emission hydrogen technology.
Therefore, Alset Global's alternative system is needed to transform and improve conventional vehicles and ultimately benefit the automotive industry from the developing hydrogen infrastructure.
[13] Alset Global conducted a special test drive in Graz for the Hydrogen Hybrid technology.
[14] As the system works with the same principle as the petrol internal combustion engine, the driving experience does not alter due to an alternative fuel.
Therefore, unlike other alternative fuel technologies, automotive makers do not have to provide artificial engine noise for the drivers.
The Aston Martin Rapide S powered by Alset Hydrogen Hybrid technology managed to reach an average speed of 255 km/h (158 mph) during the 24-hour Nürburgring race and finished in 113th.
The technology introduced by Alset Global is capable of reducing the CO2 emissions for SUVs and luxury vehicles without any compromise to the pleasure of driving with the sound and torque of an engine.
[21] The award was given to Alset's new powertrain technology applied in Aston Martin's Rapide S, which enables the use of both hydrogen and petrol in an internal combustion engine.
