Ranger 2.0–3.0 L and LandCruiser 2.8–4.5 L diesel variants span the A-900 band (2.7–7.0 L); the smallest 2.0 L Ranger variants sit in the A-675 band instead.
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.
