Ok i did believe wrongly that Hydrogen had a future in the global market. I had got a bit of bad advice off someone who was looking at getting me into the hydrogen side of the business.


In pursuing Hydrogen i got to meet with some people who could correctly not only explain why hydrogen would not work but also how hydrogen woudn't work in forklifts. what i didn't really understand is that in forklifts the vibration would ultimately damage the hydrogen fuel cell cells. This is why i understand what hyster is doing because yes i did make the same mistake that hyster has made to believe that Hydrogen has a future. Hydrogen can be produced quite cheaply the problem comes when you have to pressurize it to either 300 or 700 bar then you have to have the high pressure tanks to hold the hydrogen a 5 kg tank cost around $9,000 each.


What i do is learn from my mistakes and move forward if you asked me about four or five years ago i would have laughed at you if you said Diesel would be gone in 10 years from then.

But i have learnt that it will not only from an environmental reason but also a cost reason. now i understand that you can have a IC engine that can be used as a generator to power a battery to run a truck. that will be 100% zero emission and cost a fraction of running a Diesel or Gas truck.

So yes i have put things on here in the past that i don't even remember. But like i have said i learn every day and still 100% believe that modular construction and other new technologies will change the materials handling industry.


Exalt as a company will play a part in this weather it is small or large we will change the market
