Senko Supplies Hydrogen Detectors to 1,400 Domestic Car Service Centers

[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Jeong-su] Sensor and safety device specialist Senko announced on the 9th that it will supply hydrogen leak detectors to more than 1,400 automobile service centers nationwide.

In complete vehicle service centers, hydrogen leak detectors are used to check for hydrogen leaks after the repair and maintenance of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles. Since it is directly related to safety, it is considered essential equipment.

According to the company, Senko's hydrogen leak detector ‘SP-secure(H2)’ is equipped with a self-developed electrochemical hydrogen sensor. It can immediately detect trace hydrogen leaks corresponding to 0~1,000ppm, and its technological capability has been verified through government new product certification (NEP).

With the expansion of hydrogen vehicle distribution, demand for hydrogen leak detectors is also expected to increase. The U.S. market research firm ‘Reportlinker’ forecasted that the global market for hydrogen fuel cell vehicles will be 21,680 units this year and will increase to 596,255 units by 2028.

Senko plans to continuously expand its hydrogen-related business. It aims to enhance its business capabilities in hydrogen sensors through the commercialization of hydrogen sensors for hydrogen fuel cell vehicles and the development of hydrogen sensors for hydrogen production facilities.

Ha Seung-cheol, CEO of Senko, said, "Hydrogen is a highly explosive gas, and as hydrogen distribution expands, hydrogen sensors must also be distributed simultaneously to ensure safety," adding, "We will contribute to the expansion of a safe hydrogen economy by expanding the supply of Senko’s sensors and related products."
