Kalmar partners with SSAB to develop a medium-range fuel cell forklift
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
CARGOTEC CORPORATION, PRESS RELEASE, 23 NOVEMBER 2016 AT 9.00 (EET)
Kalmar, part of Cargotec, has today announced that it will start cooperation
with SSAB in Sweden to develop a hydrogen-powered medium-range forklift truck.
The aim is to find a more sustainable solution for our customer SSAB and help
them to contribute in diminishing carbon dioxide emissions at the site.
The forklift truck to be developed will have a lift capacity of 9-18 tons and it
will use hydrogen gas as fuel. As the exhaust will be only water, the machine
will provide a more environmentally sound solution for material handling. The
project will last for approximately two years and it will include the
development, demonstration and testing of the forklift truck. The equipment will
be produced by Kalmar to be used at the SSAB production facility in Oxelösund,
Sweden.
Thomas Malmborg, Vice President, Forklift Trucks at Kalmar, says: "Kalmar's
strategy is to become a leading provider of sustainable solutions for heavy
lifting equipment and this initiative demonstrates our aim to co-create with the
leading players."
Jacob Sandberg, Vice President Production & Product Development at SSAB, says:
"This is a very good project for SSAB in Oxelösund, where we can now really
study the possibilities to reduce our fossil dependence. In addition to
completely changing the fuel, we also get a better machine."
