Abstract

Five prototype fuel cell hybrid–drive electric forklifts were built, and laboratory tests were used to confirm that they could function in a real warehouse environment. The electric forklifts were delivered to Far Eastern Group’s Taoyuan, Taiwan A–mart supermarket warehouse for 200 h of operational testing. Each vehicle’s hybrid–drive system included a 2.7 kW proton exchange membrane fuel cell stack and two auxiliary power sources, each composed of a lithium battery and supercapacitors in parallel. The components of the drive system could supply 7 kW of power. The system’s potential advantages are low cost and high working flexibility. To collect sufficient data and determine whether this fuel cell hybrid–drive electric forklifts design could function in an actual warehouse environment, an initial test period of 200 h was considered. The vehicles were operated from 8:00–22:00 with 4–5 h of peak operating time.
