Plug Power’s GenDrive forklift fuel cell units
power forklift trucks throughout many U.S. distribution centers.
Fuel cells and hydrogen refueling stations allow distribution
centers to eliminate time-consuming battery recharging and instead
refuel forklifts within minutes, minimizing down time for each
truck and its operator. Additionally, distribution centers
are able to eliminate battery rooms and devote that valuable floor
space to storing and moving its products. And because fuel cells
are powered by hydrogen, a clean-energy fuel, only heat and water
are generated as byproducts of electricity creation, allowing
distribution centers to further support sustainability
initiatives. |

as well as our fell cell products. These efforts have created
