Plug Power to develop range extenders for FedEx Express trucks

摘要

In the US, Plug Power is to develop hydrogen fuel cell range extenders for 20 FedEx Express electric delivery trucks, allowing the cargo airline to nearly double the range of the vehicles. This $3 million project is funded by the Department of Energy, and also includes Smith Electric Vehicles. The resulting hybrid vehicles will be powered by lithium-ion batteries and a 10 kW Plug Power fuel cell system. The PEM fuel cell solution is based on Plug Power's GenDrive Series 1000 product architecture.
