Plug power Inc. has signed a cooperative memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Zhangjiagang Furui Special Equipment Co., LTD (Furui), along with a leading Chinese industrial vehicle manufacturer, also identified as one of the “big three” Chinese automakers, to develop new fuel cell applications and fuelling solutions to be utilised in China’s expanding industrial electric vehicle market.
Under the terms of the agreement, the three companies will collaborate to build electric vehicles equipped with Plug Power designed hybrid fuel cell engine systems and hydrogen (H2) fuelling station solutions.
Plug Power and its partners will form a fuel cell vehicle development project team and utilise their substantial financial and research and development resources for a large scale demonstration project.
