Taylor Machine Works has announced it will use Cummins 6.7 L and 15 L hydrogen engines in its Taylor product line.

Cummins engines already power the bulk of the 100 models of forklifts made by Taylor for the heavy lift industry.

Under its Beyond Clean Lifting initative, Taylor plans to develop low and zero-carbon solutions across its product line, including battery electric forklifts and hydrogen fuel cell forklifts as well as hydrogen internal combustion engines (H2ICE).

Adding H2ICE to the mix of zero carbon solutions will reduce the load required from already stressed utility grids, while commonalities with traditional internal combustion equipment means the models will be easy to service and maintain.

Taylor’s director of engineering, Matt Hillyer, says: “This partnership signifies our commitment to a sustainable future, enabling us to offer reliable, cost-effective, zero-carbon solutions for heavy industrial lift equipment, reducing carbon emissions without compromising productivity.”

Cummins vice president off-highway engine business Antonio Leitao says: “We see hydrogen internal combustion engines as a solution to help drive sustainability improvements in our industry.

"Hydrogen power will help both Original Equipment Manufacturers and end-users looking to making carbon emissions reductions on their paths to zero,” Leitao says.
