Fuel cells are definately in the early stages. However, I don't think the forklift industry need wait on the automobile industry to pioneer this. Cost is definitly an issue but from an infrastructure standpoint forklifts lead the way.

With a large user you have quite a captive audience. Assume 50-100 units all in 1 facility. Logistically it would be easier to access 50-100 forklifts than 50-100 automobiles. An on-site fueling station would be simple compared to fitting multiple gas stations with equipment to meet a limited demand.

Companies like Cellex and General Hydrogen have tested products in warehousing applications.

Fact of the week
The two internal cavities in our nose called nostrils function as separate organs. Each nostril has its own set of turbinates and olfactory receptors. The two independent organs work together through a mechanism called the nasal cycle, where one nostril is dominant for air intake while the other rests and is better at detecting scents.
