Hydrogenics Launches Fuel Cell Initiative for Off-Road Mobility

Hydrogenics Corp., a developer and manufacturer of fuel cell and hydrogen-related technologies, recently announced a new business initiative to develop fuel cell-based power trains for 'off road' light vehicles. The company is targeting original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) to partner in the development of a range of fuel cell-powered 'off-road' vehicles in the sub-automotive power range—typically less than 50 kW of power. Such vehicles would be deployed in utility markets such as airport ground support, materials handling, underground mining, grounds maintenance and military applications.

Related Hydrogenics' mobility projects and sales include forklifts, through an SDTC funded project with NACCO; light utility vehicles through co-operative projects with John Deere ePower Technologies; and integration of a 20 kW fuel cell power module in a fuel cell hybrid bus in Hawaii.
