Hydrogen fuel cells given a lift

"Toyota has announced its prototype hydrogen fuel cell forklift truck, at a time when fuel cell forklifts are due to be tested by the US army. The Toyota FCHV-F has been exhibited at the CeMAT trade fair, reports Japan Corporate News. Operating on a fuel cell, the new vehicle is capable of lifting up to 2,500 kg, just like the current electric model. Forklifts have to constantly stop and start, which can result in wasted energy. However, the fuel cell model has been fitted with electric double-layer capacitors, thereby ensuring effective running regardless of current variations." Source: www.platinum.matthey.com
