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.

Fact of the week
Brothers Adolf ("Adi") and Rudolf ("Rudi") Dassler split their shoe company after WWII due to a bitter feud, and established the rival companies of Adidas and Puma. Their personal animosity and business rivalry divided their German hometown Herzogenaurach. The town became known as "the town of bent necks" due to the intense loyalty to each brand.
