i wonder what happened to the future of forklift discussion

I wonder why the future of forklift discussion has diapered,
may be it was because manufactures don't like to here what is true and Lithium iron batteries do catch fire

John Lewis is to phase out the use of diesel powered trucks and start introducing bio metthane.
"Biomethane is a combustible gas produced by the transformation of organic matter (wood, plants, organic waste from domestic, agricultural and industrial sources, sewage sludge, etc.). It has many uses such as heating, electricity and fuel".

Is this the new super fuel? 80% less CO2 than standard diesel.

Interesting that so many people are rushing to laugh at Exalt. Maybe he does tend to put mouth in motion before fully engaging brain at times but I din't hear anyone else with any other sensible thoughts about low emission forklifts, trucks, cars etc.
Exalt is pretty much correct re the problems relating to hydrogen and fuel cells and full electric is great so long as you ignore the problems in generating enough pollution-free electricity. On that topic if you look at two of the world's big polluters, China and USA, at least China is trying to address the problem by moving away from coal fired power stations, not increasing their reliance on it.
it would be rather amusing if it turned out that Exalt was on to something real and all his critics had to backtrack at high speed...

No McDonald's secret sauce. Just their used vegetable oil for use in diesels. Essence of fries wafting through the warehouse.

Sounds kinda' like McDonald's secrete sauce to me! No body has figured that out since 1968.

we will say what the fuel is after the full truck launch in 2019.

what i will say is its going to be a game changer both in the materials handling industry and other industries.

This is the beginning of our


ITS ALL ABOUT SUSTAINABILITY program

OK what i will say is its now possible to run a IC engine at 100%ZERO EMISSION, its been shown and tested to be done. We will run this in a hybrid situation with a Nickel Zinc battery pack so there will be no problems of battery overheating.

As the engine runs at below 1,500 rpm its at it most efficient, like a hydrostatic truck

OK, once again you are dodging the straight up Question. What is this SUPERFUEL. The only fuel that I can think of would be benzene. used as fuel in early race engines and WW1 aircraft. Known super cancer causing chemical. Or how about hydrazine? All I can say is there is no ZERO EMISSIONS. Even the operator emits CO2. You can defend yourself on this forum as much as you want , you will not be believed until this industry changing equipment is produced for all the world to see.

It must cow flatuance Remember The state of California is trying to regulate and tax the emissions form the cattle industry. Correct me if I am wrong but according to my fact and figures you are going to need at least 2000 to 2500 cows to produce enough fuel to run a unit per shift times 3 shifts. And again multiply times the number of units you are operating. I know I run some cattle and it looks like you really need to get into the cattle industry. It has its ups and downs but I still make some money on it.

OK its a saying people say well to wheel when its 100% zero emission and no carbon, just something i have picked up. It doesn't mean a well or hole

To answer that question, I will use YOUR own words....... "....WELL to wheel 100% zero emission"

Webster's defines a WELL as: "a shaft or hole sunk to obtain oil, brine, or gas"

Now, maybe you have magic WELL, that is not a hole in the ground?

who said it s was pumped out of the ground, or transported to a refinery. IF you do a little bit of research, you will know what i'm talking about. If its produce with renewable energy, its 100% Zero emission

Magic fuel....It's not a fossil fuel, but it is pumped out of the ground, a process that creates ZERO emissions. Transported to the refinery and refined with a process that produces ZERO emissions. It is then transferred to a port where it is shipped all over the world, producing ZERO emissions. Then finally delivered to the end user, in a truck that is also burning the magic fuel, producing ZERO emissions. And then burned in the lift while also producing ZERO emissions. It's so great, and so well known to the automotive industry they chose not to use it.

Anybody want to buy a bridge?
