Prelodis Commissions Plug Power GenDrive Units at Site in France
22 Settembre 2015 - 2:46AM
Plug Power Inc. (NASDAQ:PLUG), a leader in providing clean,
reliable energy solutions, has announced Prelodis as its recent
European GenDrive customer. Plug Power has fully shipped and
commissioned units for Prelodis to use at its new-construction
(greenfield) logistics facility located in Saint Cry en Val, a
community close to Orléans in north-central France. This center is
operated by Prelocentre, a subsidiary of Prelodis, and runs three
shifts of operation.
The GenDrive units at Prelocentre have been operational since
August 31, 2015 in the 20,000 sq ft. retail food warehouse.
Additionally, a 33,000 sq. ft. extension has been planned and
offers an opportunity for onsite expansion of the GenDrive-powered
lift truck fleet.
"The recently formed European division of Plug Power has already
realized sales, and has shipped and commissioned product for
commercial customers with real expansion opportunities," said Andy
Marsh, CEO at Plug Power. "Just like in North America, these
customers value productivity, efficiency and sustainability – all
items our GenDrive value proposition brings to the table."
The sale of GenDrive fuel cells to Prelodis marks Plug Power's
first greenfield project in Europe, where emission standards are
critical. GenDrive is powered by hydrogen, generating only heat and
water as byproducts. Even more so, Prelodis has built its new
facility with no battery room, showing its deep commitment to
hydrogen fuel cell power now and into the future.
As with the enormous value realized by Plug Power's current
customer base, Prelodis will also experience increased productivity
from its electric lift truck fleet. GenDrive enables the vehicles
to maintain full power for a complete shift, and the need to change
batteries is eliminated. The GenDrive units are refueled in just a
few minutes, compared to the 15 minutes needed to change a
battery.
"Prelodis selected Plug Power's GenDrive fuel cell solution for
its greenfield site in France because the company appreciates the
productivity-enhancing impact the solution can offer and they fully
anticipate the quick and positive return on investment achieved
through avoiding costs associated with batteries," continued Marsh.
"Most importantly, Prelodis appreciates the sustainability
advantages to be realized by using hydrogen-powered fuel cells in
the facility's lift truck vehicles."
Plug Power currently offers a full suite of CE-certified
GenDrive models that meet the specifications and qualifications of
European lift trucks. The Plug Power European sales team is
actively engaged with customers in areas with high labor costs.
