This time last year we speculated that 2023 could be the year of the fuel cell.

As the year ticked on we reported on the use of fuel cells all around the world, from hydrogen reach stackers in Spain to forklifts fitted with hydrogen fuel cells in cold storage facilities in France.

A year later, at the start of 2024, hydrogen as a fuel source has become so popular that Amazon has installed its own a hydrogen production system at a Colarado facility.

The Plug system will power the shopping giant's fleet of 225 hydrogen fuel cell-powered forklifts at a the warehouse.

Electrification is also in the news this week, with a Malasyian port placing a large order for electric rubber tyre gantry cranes (e-RTGs) and the first sale of a Kalmar heavy electric forklift in the US.
