A milestone moment for Malaysian deeptech, and a strong signal of where sustainable mobility is heading.
REBOOZ Technology has achieved a significant national milestone by securing a Top 5 Finalist position at Astro INNOVATHON Season 3, one of Malaysia’s most competitive innovation platforms. This recognition places REBOOZ among the country’s most promising deeptech innovators, validating both the commercial readiness and real-world impact of its hydrogen-based solutions.
More than just a competition, INNOVATHON is designed to identify technologies capable of solving large-scale socioeconomic challenges. REBOOZ stood out by demonstrating something many solutions struggle to achieve: immediate, measurable impact without requiring infrastructure overhaul..
Turning Hydrogen Into Real-World Impact
At the core of REBOOZ’s showcase was its hydrogen engine rejuvenation technology, powered by two flagship systems:
CR-3005 II Hydrogen Engine Rejuvenator
Hydrogen output: 3,000 litres per hour
Designed for standard automotive and light fleet applications
Enables non-invasive engine cleaning through hydrogen infusion
Capable of servicing engines up to 8,000cc
CR-3010 Mobile System
Hydrogen output: 6,000 litres per hour
Integrated into a fully mobile service vehicle
Built for heavy-duty, fleet-scale deployment
Capable of servicing engines up to 18,000cc
Together, these systems demonstrated a clear value proposition:
Restore engine efficiency, reduce emissions, and improve fuel economy in under 45 minutes, without dismantling the engine.
For judges and industry observers, the differentiation was clear. While many solutions focus on future transitions, REBOOZ delivers immediate decarbonisation for existing internal combustion engines, which still dominate global mobility.
Engineering a Scalable Decarbonisation Model
What strengthened REBOOZ’s position during INNOVATHON was not just the technology itself, but its deployment model.
The CR-3010 mobile unit showcased how hydrogen-based engine rejuvenation can be delivered on-site, at scale, across:
Logistics fleets
Industrial vehicles
Public and private transport systems
This mobility-first approach removes traditional barriers such as downtime, infrastructure investment, and operational disruption. It effectively transforms decarbonisation from a capital-intensive transition into a service-based solution.
Week 3 Winner: A Breakthrough Moment
REBOOZ’s momentum accelerated to the finals during the competition when it was named Week 3 Winner, following the showcase of its next-generation product ecosystem:
A compact hydrogen-enhancement device designed for vehicles, improving:
Combustion efficiency
Fuel consumption
Engine responsiveness
A breakthrough innovation positioned as the world’s first automotive battery integrated with a hydrogen generator, delivering:
Extended lifecycle performance
Enhanced combustion support
Long-term efficiency gains
This dual showcase highlighted REBOOZ’s broader vision:not just cleaning engines, but redefining how combustion systems operate at a fundamental level.
Beyond Innovation: A Platform for ESG Transformation
One of the most compelling aspects of REBOOZ’s INNOVATHON journey was its alignment with ESG and sustainability priorities.
The technology directly contributes to:
Scope 1 emissions reduction for fleet operators
Improved fuel efficiency, translating into cost savings
Immediate carbon footprint reduction without fleet replacement
In an environment where companies are under increasing pressure to deliver measurable sustainability outcomes, REBOOZ provides a solution that is:
Scalable
Cost-effective
Operationally practical
A Signal of What Comes Next
Being named a Top 5 finalist at INNOVATHON is more than recognition. It signals a shift in how innovation is evaluated.
REBOOZ represents a new class of technology companies that bridge:
Deep engineering capability
Commercial scalability
Immediate environmental impact
From hydrogen-powered engine rejuvenation systems to integrated hybrid solutions like the ebox series, the company is building a complete ecosystem around cleaner combustion.
Moving Forward
The INNOVATHON platform has reinforced one key message:the transition to cleaner mobility does not have to wait.
With proven technology, scalable deployment, and strong market validation, REBOOZ is positioned to accelerate adoption across:
Fleet operators
Industrial sectors
Government and ESG-driven organisations
This milestone is not the destination. It is a launchpad.
REBOOZ is not just participating in the future of mobility. It is actively engineering it.
