Zitat von Brenger: General Motors has announced the successful testing of #hydrogen #fuelcell lift trucks at their Spring Hill, TN plant.

GM has plans to convert all of their lift trucks to run on #H2 throughout the nation because it lowers costs in their operations.

... war da nicht Plug Power im Spiel?


Ja, die Brennstoffzellen für diesen relativ kleinen Pilotversuch stammen von Plug Power (viel Auswahl gibt es ja auch nicht im Markt).

Allerdings ist aktuell weder entschieden, wie und in welcher Form eine Umstellung auf Brennstoffzellen-Flurförderzeuge im GM-Konzern erfolgen soll, noch gibt es eine ungefähre Timeline. Tatsächlich dürfte es selbst im günstigsten Fall noch länger dauern, bevor Plug Power relevante Umsätze mit diesem Kunden machen wird:

Hawkins said the GM corporate office in Detroit has been interested in Spring Hill’s results. Everyone in the company thinks it’s the right direction, he concluded, but a conversion nationwide will take time.

"We went through a long process of evaluating the fleet as it ran here; we did quite a bit of reporting,” Hawkins said. “The direction for the company is to go to the hydrogen fuel cells. It will be a long process to get there in other plants. It takes some infrastructure. You have to put in a dispensing system.

“This a huge facility, but we don’t have a lot of people delivering materials. There is not as much mobile activity here. There are plants with five times more equipment, where they will need to make a much bigger investment by putting in a hydrogen plant, where they would take liquid hydrogen and covert it to gas on site.”
