Plug Power is an American company engaged in the design and manufacture of hydrogen fuel cell systems that replace conventional batteries in electrically powered equipment and vehicles. The company is headquartered in Latham, New York, with facilities in Spokane, Washington.
Plug Power's GenDrive system integrates fuel cells manufactured by Plug Power and Ballard Power with a hydrogen storage system that enables the system to "recharge" in minutes, instead of hours for lead-acid batteries.
This enables hydrogen-powered forklift trucks to operate at a constant, consistent power level compared with conventional batteries, whose efficiency "drops off" after a certain time. What's more, the volume of the batteries is similar to that of conventional cars.
