AppliedSensor Provides Hydrogen Detection Sensors for First Hydrogen Serial Car in the Premium Segment.WARREN, N.J. -- AppliedSensor today announced that its HSS-440 hydrogen gas detection module will be incorporated in the BMW BMW in full Bayerische Motoren Werke AG German automaker. Founded as an aircraft engine manufacturer in 1916, the company assumed the name Bayerische Motoren Werke and became known for its high-speed motorcycles in the 1920s. Hydrogen 7, the world's first hydrogen-drive luxury performance automobile for everyday use. The Hydrogen 7 automobiles are being built by BMW in a limited series and deployed to selected users in the U.S. and other countries. The BMW Hydrogen 7, which made its world premiere Noun 1. world premiere - (music) the first public performance (as of a dramatic or musical work) anywhere in the world performance, public presentation - a dramatic or musical entertainment; "they listened to ten different performances"; "the play ran for 100 at the Los Angeles Los Angeles (lôs ăn`jələs, lŏs, ăn`jəlēz'), city (1990 pop. 3,485,398), seat of Los Angeles co., S Calif.; inc. 1850. Auto Show An auto show, or motor show, is a public exhibition of current automobile models, debuts, concept cars, or out-of-production classics. It is commonly attended by automobile manufacturers. Most auto shows occur once or twice a year. in December 2006, uses hydrogen combustion technology available through a dual-mode drive system. At the flick of a dashboard-mounted switch, the driver can tap either a 19.5-gallon gasoline tank or the 17.6-pound liquid hydrogen tank, thereby increasing range and reducing emissions to water vapor. The AppliedSensor HSS-440 module incorporates high-performance sensing based on advancements in Field Effect (FE) technology designed specifically for fuel cell and hydrogen-powered vehicles. The modules are mounted in the car cabin, under the hood under the hood - [hot-rodder talk] 1. The underlying implementation of a product (hardware, software, or idea). Implies that the implementation is not intuitively obvious from the appearance, but the speaker is about to enable the listener to grok it. and in the trunk area to detect hydrogen gas leaks at levels far below the established lower explosion limit of four percent in-air. "AppliedSensor is the only supplier that can meet BMW's demanding requirements for hydrogen detection in terms of sensitivity, reliability, speed of response, and operational safety," said AppliedSensor CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. Dr. Robert Straubinger. "Our development of sensors for hydrogen-powered vehicles demonstrates our commitment to help drivers lower emissions and reduce their dependence on fossil fuels."
