Both of these engines are inside the HydroHub™ compact range.
Hilux 2.4–2.8 L four-cylinder and LandCruiser 2.8 L and 4.5 L V8 diesel variants all fall inside the A-900 band (2.7–7.0 L), so one unit covers both nameplates on a mixed touring or fleet list.
The A-900 is a pure-water PEM/SPE unit producing 900 ml/min of hydrogen-oxygen gas on demand. It mounts in the engine bay or behind the cab on the existing 12 or 24 V supply, nothing is stored on board, and fitment is non-destructive and reversible — no fuel-system or ECU modification, and existing exhaust after-treatment stays in place. Sizing is a hardware selection question only; no outcome is stated or implied on this page.
