100 years after it was invented, the humble forklift truck is once again on the front line of a technological revolution. These industrial stalwarts are early adopters of an energy system that could change the world: the hydrogen fuel cell.
At Japan’s biggest logistics trade show, Toyota Industries’ star attractions are a new 1.8-tonne forklift and the concept model for an airport towing tractor, powered by fuel cells. They show how niche markets offer hydrogen its best chance for take-off.
