Plug Power has announced that Newark Farmers Market has expanded its investment in hydrogen fuel cell technology, and will be integrating a full GenKey solution from the hydrogen power provider.
The GenKey order will support material handling operations for a new food distribution building now under construction at its Newark, New Jersey site.
Newark Farmers Market has purchased an additional 110 GenDrive units, more than doubling the size of its fuel cell-powered lift truck fleet at the Newark location. This order is comprised of 25 class-2 standup reach truck units and 85 class-3 pallet jack units. Plug Power will deliver the GenDrive units to Newark Farmers Market in the fourth quarter of 2014. Fleet deployment will be completed in the first quarter of 2015.
Under the GenKey contract, Plug Power will construct a complete GenFuel hydrogen infrastructure, including indoor dispensers and outdoor fuel storage. The outdoor infrastructure includes a 15,000 gallon hydrogen tank with dual redundant pumps and gas compressor. This entire GenFuel hydrogen infrastructure will address the current and new GenDrive fleets. Additionally, the contract provides Newark Farmers Market with GenCare aftermarket service and support.
