Tweet
BMW Manufacturing announced today the successful expansion of the company’s hydrogen fuel-cell material handling equipment across its 4.0 million square foot production facility. In 2010, BMW completed the installation of a hydrogen storage and distribution area near the plant’s Energy Center to power about 100 pieces of fuel-cell material handling equipment. Since that time, the company has more than doubled its hydrogen-fuel-cell fleet to approximately 230 units to service the entire plant’s production and logistics functions.
“BMW continues to complement its sustainable production model by adding alternative, efficient technology, said Josef Kerscher, President of BMW Manufacturing. “Successful implementation, and ultimately expansion, of our hydrogen-fuel-cell material handling fleet has provided a sustainable energy source that exceeds our expectations.”
