FAQ covering both aspects based on current industry knowledge.

Decarbonization of vehicles generally refers to two distinct concepts: 

Engine Decarbonization (a maintenance procedure for Internal Combustion Engines) and 

Vehicle Decarbonization (the shift to electric/zero-emission transport).

It is a process of removing carbon soot buildup from internal engine components such as pistons, valves, injectors, and the catalytic converter. 

Incomplete combustion, using low-quality fuel, frequent short trips, and city driving (stop-and-go) cause carbon particles to stick to engine parts. 

Common symptoms include reduced fuel efficiency, sluggish acceleration, rough idling, increased exhaust smoke, and engine knocking. 

Benefits include restored fuel efficiency, improved acceleration, smoother engine operation, reduced noise, and lower emissions. 

  • Chemical/Additives: Fuel additives that clean the fuel system and combustion chamber.
  • Hydrogen/HHO Cleaning: Injecting hydrogen into the air intake to break down carbon, often without dismantling the engine.
  • Mechanical/Manual: Dismantling the engine to physically clean parts (used for severe cases). 
  • It is generally recommended around 30,000 km to 50,000 km. However, modern engines (BS-VI/Euro 6) need it less frequently. 
  • It is generally safe when performed by professionals. However, improper use of chemicals or harsh cleaning on very old, high-mileage engines (>100,000 km) can sometimes cause issues like increased oil consumption.
