CALL: SP1-JTI-FCH.2011.4.1: Demonstration of fuel cell powered Materials Handling
Equipment vehicles including infrastructure
PROJECT AIM:
Plan and ensure supported market deployment of FCMHVs beyond 2018
PROJECT SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES:
1. Deploy more than 200 units of fuel cell powered materials handling vehicles and associated refuelling infrastructure in 2 relevant
sites in Europe, thus realizing the largest fleet deployment of hydrogen fuelled industrial trucks in Europe
2. Demonstrate the maturity of the hydrogen infrastructure as well as the safety of the use of hydrogen in industrial environment.
3. Validate the Total Cost of Ownership and the path towards commercial targets.
4. Provide a best practice guide for hydrogen refuelling stations to build, install and operate them in industrial context.
5. Disseminate the project results targeting early adopters of hydrogen solutions, policy makers, industry stakeholders and the general
public in order to create a network to support European industry.

Prelocentre feedbacks after > 16 months of operation
Solution very easy to use for the workers
No major disturbance of the operations because of the use of
hydrogen fuel cells forklifts
Reliability of the technology with 100% availability of the fuel cell
thanks to the technician working on site for fuel cell maintenance.
The use of such an innovative technology is still motivating for all the
workers Source: Prelocentre
Based on this positive return of experience, Prelocentre confirms
that they will keep using the H2 fuel cells forklifts solution and
order additional products as the activities are significantly
increasing

Conclusions
The positive economic impact of the deployment doesn’t not make sense
everywhere, but mostly for large fleets, multi-shift operation, shared infrastructure.
Battery replacement can makes sense in special environment, however potential
environmental impact and LCA should be investigated.
Full-service packages with attractive TCO (including H2 supply!) engages end users
European manufacturers are not as far as North American ones
Financial support is still required in Europe. The transition from demo projects to
full commercialization of the products still needs to be pushed forward, but there
are already signals of developments
Networking of the European key players is necessary to create the lobby.
Cristina Maggi - FAST - Federazione delle Associazioni Scientifiche e Tecniche 14Thankyou for the attention
The project partners would like to thank the EU for establishing the fuel cells and
hydrogen framework and for supporting this activity.
