The research we have done on hydrogen fuel cell has shown us some quite interesting points.if you were to look at a 7,000kg diesel powered forklift the fuel consumption would be around 6 L per hour even at a cost of 50 cent per leter this would be 3.00 dollars per hour then if you said service cost was 1.00 dollar per hour this would equall 4 dollars per hour then based on 2000 hour per year usage you would look at 8000 dollars per year

Now hydrogen fuel cell say same truck but with a 85 kw battery the fuel would be around 1 kg per hour now hydrogen produced on site would equall about 50 cent per kg then service cost at 50 cent per hour based on the same 2000 hours the running cost would be 2000 per year that's 6000 dollars lower per year per truck quite a saving
