Doosan Bobcat, Gwangyang City and Korea Logis Pool sign MoU

Doosan Bobcat has signed a MoU with South Korea’s Gwangyang City and logistics service company Logis Pool (KLP) to “expand the supply of hydrogen forklifts”.

Gwangyang City is one of six “hydrogen cities” across Korea utilising numerous hydrogen technologies including hydrogen production and storage, carbon dioxide capture, transportation and electricity production.

“The Hydrogen City Project plan for Gwangyang encompasses a hydrogen forklift supply initiative, and through this MoU, Gwangyang City, Doosan Bobcat, and KLP will collaborate on the initiative,” Doosan Bobcat states.

“Doosan Bobcat will handle the supply, provide information, develop demand for hydrogen forklifts, and proceed with hydrogen charging demonstrations. 

“KLP, the country's largest forklift rental and comprehensive logistics company, will deploy Doosan Bobcat's hydrogen forklifts at the logistics centres in the Gwangyang Port back regions and develop rental services for hydrogen forklifts.”

Doosan Bobcat delivered its first domestic hydrogen forklift to Korea in August and says it is “actively pursuing regulatory reforms regarding hydrogen forklifts”.

Bobcat Doosan is now working to “establish and operate dedicated hydrogen refuelling stations for hydrogen fuel cell forklifts”, having received a regulatory exemption from the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy in October.

“Consequently, Doosan Bobcat plans to conduct demonstrations using fixed and mobile hydrogen refuelling stations for hydrogen forklifts, which are currently limited to use for hydrogen cars,” the company states.
