Nissan Motor Corp showcased a General Hydrogen Corp fuel cell power pack in a Class 1 battery-electric forklift at the Logis-Tech Tokyo exhibition, on September 12-15.

General Hydrogen, of Richmond, Canada, and Gallatin, Tennessee, USA, said it had sold the Hydricity fuel cell power pack to Tokyo-based Nissan.

A unit, Nissan Forklift Corp North America, evaluated leading battery replacement technologies for forklifts and found the General Hydrogen pack's performance and reliability demonstrations warranted further consideration, a Nissan Industrial Machinery Division spokesperson said.

Each Hydricity pack contains a Ballard Mark 9 fuel cell stack and Maxwell ultracapacitors.
