Return of Experience from deploiements
� Number of systems deployed, duration, diversity of mode of operation allow statistic work.
� Quantitative determination of operation modes on performance degradation� Data are analysed by category of operating modes.� Only systems having a significant total operating time are taken into account

The GenDrive®
■ What are GenDrive fuel cells?� Complete fuel cell engine in a box� Superior alternative to industrial lead-acid
batteries in motive power equipment� PEM based hydrogen fuel cells, coupled with
lithium ion battery to deliver DC power to the forklifts
■ What do GenDrive fuel cells do?
13 Air Liquide, world leader in gases for industry, he alth and the environment
■ What do GenDrive fuel cells do?� Replace lead-acid batteries permanently� Run on hydrogen gas and can be refueled
in as little as 1- 3 min by operator at convenient self-service dispensers
� Produce clean power at constant voltage� Run 1.5-2 times as long as a battery on
order picking trucks� Produce no emissions except water and heat

Hybrid Strategy: Benefits
■ Coupling of high power lithium batteries with hydrogen fuel cells yields many advantages� Fuel cells maintain lithium SOC (output
voltage) at optimum levels
� Fuel cell dynamics are dampened
15 Air Liquide, world leader in gases for industry, he alth and the environment
� Performance of system not adversely affect by cold operating temperatures
� Ability to run longer than a battery and refuel in 2 to 3 minutes
Product Development: Platforms
System Platform Approach
■ Multiple products designed off two common platforms
�High Power Platform: Liquid Cooled FC�Low Power Platform: Air Cooled FC
■ Many critical components shared across all
16 Air Liquide, world leader in gases for industry, he alth and the environment
■ Many critical components shared across all products
�Battery System�Controls�Hydrogen Storage
■ Lowest time /cost to market for new products
■ Lowest component costs and highest reliability
Hydrogen Infrastructure
■ Hydrogen Infrastructure� Delivery, Storage
and Compression on exterior
■ Dispensing � Performed by operators in
convenient location (part of work flow)
� Three step process < 3 minutes■ Data collection cable
17 Air Liquide, world leader in gases for industry, he alth and the environment
■ Data collection cable■ De-watering hose■ Hydrogen nozzle
� Multiple locations if needed■ Opportunity filling■ Eliminates drive time and queuing
Hydrogen Dispensing / Fillings
■ Operating Hours� Over 15 million hours of run time
data collected � ~42 customer sites
■ Hydrogen Dispensing � ~8,000 Fills per day� Indoor Fillings� Performed by Operators
18 Air Liquide, world leader in gases for industry, he alth and the environment
