ITM Power, an energy storage and clean fuel company has signed a pilot agreement with M&S, to deliver the UK’s first hydrogen fuel cell materials handling trial using on-site hydrogen.
Using the ITM Power HFuel platform to generate hydrogen, the six week trial involves M&S using several fuel cell vehicles as a direct substitute for part of the existing battery powered fleet. The vehicles will be deployed at M&S’s 1.1m 2ft Prologis Park Distribution Centre.
The involvement of companies such as M&S is essential to developing commercially viable hydrogen solutions for the materials handling industry.

The trial forms part of the M&S Plan A initiative, and aims to deliver zero emission vehicles with superior performance and a two minute refuel time. The trial is the first of its kind in the UK.
Graham Cooley, CEO of ITM Power commented, “The involvement of companies such as M&S is essential to developing commercially viable hydrogen solutions for the materials handling industry. We are extremely pleased to be conducting this trial with M&S who continue to lead the way for sustainable technology deployment.”
