Heli is one of a handful of manufacturers globally producing hydrogen-powered forklifts and a spokesman says the company will add additional models in this "important and promising segment".

"In the future, Heli will continue to make efforts in the field of hydrogen forklifts (and) launch a series of hydrogen-powered products covering all types of counterbalance forklifts, tractors, and storage trucks," he explains. Heli will also increase its cooperation with core enterprises in the hydrogen industry chain to contribute to the development of hydrogen-powered forklifts globally.

One of the key challenges facing the hydrogen forklift market is the limited availability of hydrogen and the lack of fuelling facilities.

So they acknowledge that there is limited availability at present but are continuing to contribute to the development of these units. So are other established companies including JCB who were mentioned in the original post.

Funny that none of them talk about using ammonia as the fuel though....
