Hi Swoop 223 , what we have are a number of very intelligente advisers, who understand the environment and the causes of climate warming.They also understand the consequences of not acting to improve and stop green house gases. So to put in quite simple terms we have around 40 - 50 years to improve or we will cause a Thermal Runaway which will be a disaster for how we all live.

Now by talking to these people who know what they are on about and also look at all the alternatives on the market we have come to the conclusion that the best way forward to producing a 100% zero emission product that the customer will want and need is the technology we will introduce to the materials handling market.

Now some companies will claim that their electric forklift with litium iron batteries are the best solution the problem with these are they need charging they don't perform well in an high temperature outside environment the electric they use comes from a fossil fuel power station so they are not that sustainable and finally if the battery over heats it MIGHT cause a fire.


Now there is hydrogen fuel cell technology again they won't perform well out side and in a high temperature environment, the cost of having the refuel stations and systems means they are no good for fleets smaller than 50 units, and vibration will damage the cell
