Food Production
Fuel cells give food production more floor space
A food producer with a mixed fleet of sit down counterbalanced trucks
powered by lead acid batteries was utilizing battery swapping techniques to
optimize uptime. When the Yale® dealer discussed the Nuvera® hydrogen solution
for their application, the customer was impressed with hydrogen as an advanced
fuel source but remained with the lead acid batteries as the fuel cells would
not properly fit inside the battery compartments of their trucks at this time.
However, the customer recommended Nuvera to a
sister facility that was planning an upcoming warehouse expansion. This
facility had a fleet of 20 competitor trucks and currently powered them with
lead acid batteries, but was interested in an alternative power source.
“Upgrading
to hydrogen is like going from dial up to high speed internet”
