A Class 1 forklift with a fuel cell power pack is running about 18-hours before the onboard H2 fuel tank needs to be replenished (3-5 minute operation). An AGV at one plant in Tennessee runs up to 27 hours. Average payback with multi-shift operations is about 2-4 years, excluding the new IRS $1,000 per kW tax incentives for 2006/2007. Fuel supply is not a barrier to entry. Hydrogen is a commonly available industrial gas extensively used in the food and petro-chemical industries and the US has excellent existing infrastructure for its timely delivery. www.generalhydrogen.com.
