It was a close call &#8211; operators at Home Depot, Walmart, BMW, Lowes and Mercedes just missed being number 5 million.

If using traditional battery-power, this would have equated to 142 years of manpower changing batteries and 5,700 years charging them.<\/li>\n<li>Electric lift trucks have operated for approximately 17 million run hours on 3 million kg of hydrogen pumped from Plug Power designed Hydrogen Stations.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Data is King<br \/>\n<\/strong>You may be wondering how we are able to give such detail regarding fueling.
