Air Products to Fuel more than 1,000 Fuel Cell Forklifts Daily in the US

Air Products is soon to bring fuel cell material handling vehicle hydrogen refuelling stations on stream for a new customer with warehouses in Pennsylvania, New York, Massachusetts and Texas – the deployment of which will see the company surpass a milestone of one thousand fuel cell material handling vehicles being refuelled by its hydrogen fuelling systems on a daily basis at locations across the US.

"We are the leader in providing hydrogen fueling and the related infrastructure to the material handling market.  Today we are fueling nearly 1,000 pieces of material handling equipment, and we are refueling them safely on a daily basis.  We are very proud of this accomplishment and with future installations already under contract, doubling the number of units is already within sight," said Ed Kiczek, global director – Hydrogen Energy Systems at Air Products.
