Im having a discussion on a different platform and have been getting some interesting points manly from people who have got a interest in diesel powered forklifts. Now yes i do have a interest in HFC forklifts i want to make that part clear. but here is something of the discussion whats peoples opinion here

There are many people who still don't want to take the blindfolds off and relies that hydrogen fuel cell forklift are not only more sustainable but are in fact much better value than Diesel, LPG or CNG forklifts over 6,000kg so let's let the figures do the talking.

Hydrogen fuel cell 10,000kg forklift

Cost price $ 125,000
Number of oil / filter changes over 5 years 9
Cost per hour including fuel $ 12.5


Diesel 10,000kg forklift

Cost price $ 128,500
Number of oil / filter changes over 5 years 43
Cost per hour including fuel $ 17.5


Now you might still want to believe that hydrogen won't over take diesel within 5 years , but in 5 years' time will you still be in business

Foundling hatches are safe, anonymous drop-off points for unwanted infants, allowing parents in crisis a way to surrender a baby safely without fear of punishment, ensuring the child is rescued and cared for. The concept started in the 12th century, was abandoned in the late 19th century, then reintroduced in 1952. It has since been adopted in many countries.
