Canadian Tire Corporation has just issued the following statement:

“In an effort to increase productivity and operational efficiency through clean, non-combustive, non-emissive and sustainable technology, Canadian Tire Corporation (CTC) chose hydrogen fuel cell technology to replace lead acid batteries to power forklifts in two Ontario distribution centers."

A zero-emissions fuel cell bus joins the Boston public transit fleet as part of an FTA-sponsored project. The bus received a full fueling at Nuvera corporate headquarters in Billerica before final delivery to the Massachusetts Bay Transit Authority (MBTA). There, a Nuvera^® hydrogen station completes the program to reduce the use of petroleum and grow a greener economy using hydrogen. Read more and watch the video...

Hydrogen means business in California! To support this vision, the Board of Directors for the California Hydrogen Business Council (CHBC) helps shape the strategic direction of the 80+ member industry organization that supports the commercialization of hydrogen in transportation, stationary power, and materials handling and markets. On Wednesday, open positions on the board were newly filled.

If your company is considering a new construction project or a custom retrofit of an existing facility, there may be financial incentives for energy related investments under your state’s energy efficiency programs. These energy-related investments now include Nuvera^® fuel cell systems for electric lift trucks.

On November 10, 2016, 100 government officials, terminal operators, environmental advocates, and technology solutions providers met at the Port of Los Angeles to discuss how the use of hydrogen in the nation’s seaports can dramatically reduce toxic air pollutants and greenhouse gas emissions. The Port of LA is the busiest in the nation and the 9^th largest in the world. It was an ideal setting for a workshop convened by the California Hydrogen Business Council to explore how hydrogen and fuel cells solutions at ports can address some of the most pressing environmental issues of today.

Consumers are reluctant to compromise on convenience, power, range or safety to support zero emissions vehicle (ZEV) mandates set out by ZEV States. Automakers understand this, as noted by an advanced technology manager of a leading manufacturer, “If society’s goals are to reduce carbon from the transportation side, they only have a few options and from our point of view, [hydrogen] is the most compelling one.”[i] 

Furthering this idea, zeroemissions.org provides fuel cell vehicle (FCV) facts to support the idea of zero emissions with zero compromise.

Event: Emerging Technologies Fair, November 3, at LiftOne North Carolina Headquarters in Charlotte.

It was the largest recorded turnout in the 28-year history of the Annual NYC Equipment and Vehicle Show. On May 12, 2016 at Flushing Meadows Corona Park in Queens, New York, nearly 170 exhibitors showcased the latest in vehicles and equipment. Interest was focused on the large contingent of vendors supporting New York City’s Clean Fleet and Vision Zero initiatives. Nuvera Fuel Cells and Eastern Lift Truck Company were among those presenting solutions to help advance sustainability initiatives.

October 8, chosen in recognition of the atomic weight of hydrogen (1.008), is National Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Day! On such an elemental day, engaged people are sharing their knowledge about hydrogen and fuel cells with friends and colleagues, and you can join in

There are two types of commercialized zero-emission vehicles (ZEVs) available to consumers today, the fuel cell electric vehicle (FCEV) and the battery electric vehicle (BEV). Both types of vehicles support greenhouse gas reductions, improve local air quality, and reduce reliance on oil. Many automakers are now investing in fuel cells as an essential technology to create consumer-friendly zero-carbon transportation options.
