Current status and future development of fuel-cell system for forklift

Abstract

TOYOTA INDUSTRIES CORPORATION is working to develop an optimal fuel-cell system for forklifts to make contribution to realize a low-carbon society in the field of logistics. A lot of forklifts are in long-time operation at various sites, e.g. mainly at factories, wholesale markets, airports, etc. Promotion of introducing fuel-cell forklifts is expected to reduce downtime, improve work environment and create further demand of hydrogen.
