H2O pilot at the Port of Los Angeles is powered by hydrogen fuel cells from Nuvera, the first hydrogen top pick container handler in the world. It is powered by two 45kw hydrogen fuel cells from Nuvera, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Hyster parent company.


The California Air Resources Board awarded a California Climate Investments grant in order to support the development of the HFC-powered container handler. The zero emissions benefits of a battery electric option makes the top pick an excellent choice for operators who want to avoid the need to stop in the middle of a shift. The top pick's hydrogen fuel will take 15 minutes to refuel, with the intention to provide 8 to 10 hours of continuous run time, all while providing no harmful emissions and water and heat. The hydrogen fuel cell can be used to power equipment directly or to charge the onboard battery. The top pick is also fitted with a patented energy recovery system that helps the electric container handler recover energy from lowering loads and braking.


The Fenix Marine Services container terminal is an acquisition by the global player of sea, land, air and logistical solutions. Our goal is to implement another sustainable solution designed to help meet the objectives of the Clean Air Action Plan. Exploring the use of hydrogen as a zero emission fuel source is important for the entire transportation industry, and is a perfect complement to other alternative energy research and development projects that the parent company of the company, the CMP Group, is spearheading to protect the planet and reach net-zero carbon by the electric truck design from the company helps electrify equipment for port terminal, and the company has a line of smaller, lighter-capacity trucks used in both indoor and outdoor settings.


The company has recently launched a forklift with load capacity of up to 36-thousand pounds and is currently involved in a fuel cell powered ReachStacker pilot at the Port of Valencia. The mission of our company is to make innovative technologies for emissions reduction and performance available to our customers. Jan Willem van den Brand, director, global market development, big trucks, Hyster says that hydrogen is the right choice for some operations, but not for others. There are a number of factors like cycle, utilities grid capacity and fuel availability that affect the duty answer. We as a company must allow our customers choices that allow them to build the right solution based on their needs so that they don't have to use a single technology.


The California Climate Investments project places billions of cap-and-trade dollars to work reducing greenhouse gas emissions, strengthen the economy, improve public health and the environment, and provide meaningful benefits to the most disadvantaged communities in the state. The company is known for its lift trucks. There are 130 lift truck models configured for gasoline, LPG, diesel and electric power, with one of the widest capacity ranges in the industry, from 2,000 to 105,000 lbs.


With support from one of the industry's largest and most experienced dealer networks, Hyster Company builds tough, durable lift trucks that deliver high productivity, low total cost of ownership, easy serviceability and advanced ergonomics, accompanied by outstanding parts, service and training support.


In January 1993, the division of Hyster-Yale Group, Inc was formed into a subsidiary of its publicly listed parent company, Hyster-Yale Materials Handling, Inc. An estimated 8,100 people worldwide are employed by the subsidiaries of Hyster-Yale Materials Handling, Inc.
