OorjaPac can be used on electric forklifts and pallet movers

A US fuel cell company has been given the go-ahead to sell its product in Europe after its product passed compliance testing.

Oorja Protonics has met the CE directive for low-voltage equipment for its fuel cell technology product, OorjaPac. The European Union requires all products for sale to carry CE Marking (CEM) for safety. The CEM demonstrates the product conforms to European standards and is recognised throughout the world.

The OorjaPac was tested by a CE-certified independent authorised testing laboratory for electrostatic discharge, conducted emissions, radiated emissions and conducted immunity.

John Fulton, vice president for quality at Oorja Products, says the OorjaPac was designed to meet international standards. "This gives our customers the benefit of knowing that the OorjaPac will work flawlessly in their facilities and will provide substantial value."

The OorjaPac is an alcohol-based fuel cell that continuously charges batteries on materials handling vehicles.
