Flattening Diesel Cost Volatility with H59-D Autonomous™
For fleet operators, mining companies, construction groups,and industrial power users, diesel has become one of the most volatile costdrivers in the operating model.
Over the past several years, North American diesel pricinghas experienced significant swings — from the pandemic low in 2020 to thesupply shock in 2022, and into the forecasted continental spike projected for2026. As shown in the chart, the broader market trend continues upward, drivenby geopolitical pressures, tightening supply, and rising carbon and structuralcosts.
The grey line represents the North American averagewholesale rack rate (CAD/L), while the dotted trendline reflects long-termupward pressure. The orange ESSNA™ line shows the effective fuel rate usingH59-D Autonomous™ hydrogen–diesel blending, delivering an immediate 12.5%reduction in effective diesel cost.
The shaded area between the lines represents the EfficiencySavings Margin — avoided fuel cost through improved combustion efficiency.
What the Graph Means for Operators
Traditional diesel procurement leaves operators exposed tovolatility. Every disruption and pricing spike impacts margins.
With H59-D Autonomous™, the effective fuel cost remainsconsistently below the market baseline — allowing operators to flatten thecurve of fuel inflation.
At the projected 2026 spike, the gap between market pricingand the ESSNA™ effective rate widens significantly. For fleets consuming 2million gallons annually, this can represent over $1 million in avoided fuelexpense.
Built for Real Heavy-Duty Applications
H59-D Autonomous™ is designed for high-consumption dieselenvironments, including:
- Class 7–8 trucking fleets
- long-haul and regional transport
- heavy-duty construction equipment
- mining equipment and haul units
- drilling and industrial engines
- stationary generators and backup power
These assets operate where fuel use is constant and marginsare highly sensitive to diesel pricing.
Turning Fuel Into a Competitive Advantage
Fuel does not have to remain an uncontrollable liability.
As the chart shows, while the market trend rises, the ESSNA™effective rate remains consistently lower — preserving a clear cost advantage.
H59-D Autonomous™ is designed to do exactly that.
