HyPX Fuel Cell Power Packs offer material handling

fleet operators in multi-shift indoor environments

a turnkey solution that:

Releases no harmful emissions and

Increases lift truck uptime through:

Reduced refueling time

Extended run-time between fills

Providing consistent and abundant power

HyPX Fuel Cell Power Packs provide the functionality

to replace motive batteries in lift trucks and fit within the

existing battery compartment.

Based on Hydrogenics zero emission HyPM HD Fuel Cell

Power Module, the HyPX Fuel Cell Power Pack is an inte-

grated fuel cell electric hybrid solution that includes a

hydrogen storage system, power electronics, an electrical

storage device, system controls and a thermal management

system.

HyPX Fuel Cell Power Packs are quickly refueled in less than

five minutes by dispensing hydrogen fuel into the on-board

hydrogen storage tank. This efficient refueling process

eliminates the time spent swapping batteries with freshly

charged ones, and cuts out the costs associated

with battery recharging infrastructure.

HyPX Fuel Cell Power Packs can also extend the systems

run-time by storing more available energy on-board than a

battery, and can provide consistent peak power without the

performance degradation experienced with batteries as their

state of charge drops over the duration of a shift.

In 2005, Hydrogenics installed a HyPX Fuel Cell Power

Pack in each of two 5,500 lbs Class I Hyster lift trucks and

deployed these units at General Motors (GM) of Canadas

automotive assembly plant in Oshawa, and at FedExCanadas logistics hub at the Toronto Pearson International

Airport.

These deployments validated the emission-free and

productivity-enhancing benefits offered by fuel cells in

material handling equipment. This project was enabled by

an investment from Sustainable Development Technology

Canada and Natural Resources Canadas Canadian

Transportation Fuel Cell Alliance.

Hydrogenics continues to develop HyPX Fuel Cell Power

Pack solutions for this market.

Hydrogenics has developed a fuel cell hybrid power

solution for a European-manufacturers mid-size electric

bus. The hydrogen fuel cell hybrid configuration offers

improved performance, including extended range with

consistent and abundant power, reduced noise and

air pollution, and fast refueling.

Hydrogenics HyPM HD 12 Fuel Cell Power Module

efficiently converts hydrogen into electricity and water,

and the hybrid system provides peak power and recaptures

braking energy.

With the new power solution, the emission-free Midibus

operates quietly and efficiently thanks to the HyPMs low

pressure design and few moving parts. These benefits are

particularly applicable in congested cities where noise and

noxious emission levels attributed to buses operating on

conventional gasoline and diesel engines are a key concern.

The Midibus operates for up to ten (10) hours with a range

of 200km, compared to 80 km for the pure battery model,

before the need to refuel a process which takes minutes.

The fuel cell hybrid Midibus inaugural public transit service

took place during the European Hydrogen & Energy

Conference (EHEC) in Zaragoza, Spain. Similar events

have benefited from the zero emission Midibus including2006 Hannover Fair Germany, World Hydrogen Energy

Conference Lyon, France, and the 2006 World Cup Soccer

Championships held in Germany.

This project was enabled by an investment from the

European Union and the State of West-Rhine Westphalia

to demonstrate the benefits of commercialization of fuel

cell transportation in European cities.

To showcase the successful use of zero emission fuel

cell hybrid buses in urban transportation, Hydrogenics

led the integration of a fuel cell ultracapacitor hybrid

power train into a 40 urban transit bus. Designed

for use in urban transit, this innovative power train for

the Invero New Flyer low floor bus incorporates three

Hydrogenics HyPM 65 fuel cell power modules capable

of offering a total of 180 kW of power. Combining a bank

of ultracapacitors with the fuel cell power modules in a

hybrid configuration enables the system to:

Provide instantaneous power that can reach a peak

power requirement of 350kW

Reduce capital costs through the efficient system

design of the fuel cell and hybrid components

Increase fuel efficiency by capturing braking

energy through regeneration

Hybrid power architecture represents an attractive solution

for future configurations of fuel cell buses due to the

benefits of regenerative braking and reduced fuel cell

power requirements.

Hydrogenics and the Government of Manitoba

demonstrated this transit bus in the city of Winnipeg

in 2006.

This project was enabled through an investment from

Natural Resources Canada (NRCan).

Hydrogenics replaced the mechanical drive train in a

commercial van with an electric drive powered by a fuel

cell hybrid power train. Powered

by Hydrogenics HyPM 65 Fuel Cell Power Module, this

fuel cell-battery hybrid power train simultaneously offers

increased fuel efficiency with reduced green house gas

(GHG) and criteria air contaminant emissions. Deployed

as part of Purolators Greening the Fleet Program as of

May 2005, the commercial van is servicing delivery routes

within the City of Toronto.

In stop-and-go urban routes, the HyPM-based fuel cell

hybrid power train offers significant opportunity to increase

fuel efficiency by up to triple the efficiency of traditional

gasoline and diesel engines, translating into significant fuelsavings for commercial van fleet operators.

This project was funded through an investment from

Natural Resources Canada (NRCan) and the Hydrogen Early

Adopters Program (h2EA).

A second commercial van with Hydrogenics HyPM 65

has been developed for the Hawaii Center for Advanced

Transportation Technologies and will be deployed with the

maintenance crews at Hickam Air Force Base.

The Toro Company has developed a Greensmaster

Riding Mower powered by a HyPM 7 fuel cell power

module. Hydrogenics modeled a fuel cell and ultra-

capacitor hybrid power system to meet the greensmowers

duty cycle while Toro integrated the power system into the

greens mower.

Already tested in golf courses across North America, the

fuel cell powered greens mower overcomes typical

challenges by offering quiet operation, no risk of leakage,

as well as reduced system weight and risk of turf damage.

Emission-free HyPM fuel cell powered utility vehicles,

based on John Deeres 6x4 Gator platform, have been

in active operation at Exhibition Place in Toronto as

part of Torontos Hydrogen Village since the summer

of 2005.

John Deeres Product Technology group designed the

vehicles to demonstrate the performance and attributes of

the latest fuel cell technology in John Deere products.

Equipped with Hydrogenics HyPM 12 fuel cell power

module, the Gators fuel cell hybrid power train is well

suited for a range of applications from residential urban

to niche military. HyPM 12s low pressure design and few

moving parts result in low heat and noise signatures that

are important for various applications. In addition, the fuel

cell powered Gators provide external AC and DC power,

enabling the fuel cell to act as a generator that provides

off-board power to operate tools, groundskeeping or other

electrical equipment. The HyPM based fuel cell power train

offers increased fuel efficiency, run-time and fast refueling

in less than two minutes.

This project was enabled by an investment from Industry

Canadas Hydrogen Early Adopters program (h2EA).
