Hydrogen Drop-in Battery Replacement for Electric Forklifts
Concept
Our Battery Replacement Unit turns battery-electric heavy-duty forklifts into hydrogen vehicles without redesigning the vehicle. The module sits in the existing battery compartment and supplies electrical power to the forklift’s existing electric drive and lift motors.
Key benefits
- High continuous power: stable performance even in dynamic, heavy intralogistics load cycles
- Fast refuelling: short refuelling times, compatible with existing 350-bar infrastructure
- Fuel flexibility: tolerates varying hydrogen qualities
- Robust technology: designed for maintenance through existing service networks
- Near zero emission operation
- Cost-efficient retrofit: existing vehicles can be converted
Compatible vehicles
- Linde E50 / X50: LP module variant, avg. consumption approx. <1 kg H₂/h, tank 4 or 6 kg
- Linde E60–E80 (up to 8 t): HP module variant, avg. consumption approx. 1.4 kg H₂/h, tank 6 kg
