About HyLIFT-DEMO

• Large scale demonstration of Fuel Cell Hydrogen (FCH) powered FLTs (Fork Lift Trucks)

• Two year demonstration:

– 30 units of 2.5 - 3.5 tons

– Fully integrated 3rd generation fuel cell systems

– Hydrogen refuelling infrastructure at three end-user sites (sites tbd)

– 4,000 hours accelerated laboratory durability tests on

• life time

• shock sensitivity

• vibration

• climate exposure

Other HyLIFT-DEMO Objectives

• Validate value proposition & reaching of commercial and environmental targets

– Data acquisition of targets: durability, efficiency and costs for 3rd generation technology

• Plan and secure initiation of R&D of 4th generation commercial products

• Ensure commercial market deployment of FCH FLTs in Europe by 2013

– Development of suggestions for European / national / regional support mechanisms

• Identify future Regulation, Codes & Standard needsto enable commercial high volume certification & use of hydrogen powered fuel cell forklifts
