Hydrogenics Corp claims it is making significant inroads in developing materials handling markets for its HyPX fuel cell power pack.

The fuel cell systems manufacturer says 60 to 80 HyPX power packs will be delivered to stakeholders including OEMs for class 1 and class 2 forklifts, a major US distributor, the armed forces, automotive and other high-volume production manufacturers.

Most are being deployed at customer facilities in pilot programs of 10 to 20 units to evaluate the HyPX solution for broader enterprise-wide deployments.

Hydrogenics CEO Daryl Wilson says end-users are creating "significant market pull" for HyPX power packs.

"As a result, a number of leading forklift OEMs are accelerating their fuel cell product development efforts.

"These efforts include in-house testing and evaluation as well as field deployments with their key customers," he explains

Hydrogenics released its latest generation of HyPX power packs in January 2007 after successful deployments in 2005 of previous generation power packs in two Hyster forklifts at General Motors' car assembly plant in Oshawa and the Toronto Airport Fedex facility (Forkliftaction.com News #195).

The HyPX power pack consists of Hydrogenics's HyPM HD fuel cell power module and energy-story ultracapacitors.
