GenDrive Systems in Operation at Greenfield Logistics Facility for This
New European Customer
LATHAM, N.Y., Sept. 10, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Plug
Power Inc. (NASDAQ LUG), a leader in providing clean,
reliable energy solutions, has announced Prelodis
as its recent European GenDrive customer. Plug Power
has fully shipped and commissioned units for Prelodis
to use at its new-construction (greenfield) logistics
facility located in Saint Cry en Val, a community
close to Orléans in north-central France. This
center is operated by Prelocentre, a subsidiary of
Prelodis, and runs three shifts of operation.
The GenDrive units at Prelocentre have been operational
since August 31, 2015 in the 20,000 sq ft. retail
food warehouse. Additionally, a 33,000 sq. ft. extension
has been planned and offers an opportunity for onsite
expansion of the GenDrive-powered lift truck fleet.
"The recently formed European division of Plug Power
has already realized sales, and has shipped and commissioned
product for commercial customers with real expansion
opportunities," said Andy Marsh, CEO at Plug Power.
"Just like in North America, these customers value
productivity, efficiency and sustainability - all
items our GenDrive value proposition brings to the
table."
The sale of GenDrive fuel cells to Prelodis marks
Plug Power's first greenfield project in Europe, where
emission standards are critical. GenDrive is powered
by hydrogen, generating only heat and water as byproducts.
Even more so, Prelodis has built its new facility
with no battery room, showing its deep commitment
to hydrogen fuel cell power now and into the future.
As with the enormous value realized by Plug Power's
current customer base, Prelodis will also experience
increased productivity from its electric lift truck
fleet. GenDrive enables the vehicles to maintain full
power for a complete shift, and the need to change
batteries is eliminated. The GenDrive units are refueled
in just a few minutes, compared to the 15 minutes
needed to change a battery.
"Prelodis selected Plug Power's GenDrive fuel cell
solution for its greenfield site in France because
the company appreciates the productivity-enhancing
impact the solution can offer and they fully anticipate
the quick and positive return on investment achieved
through avoiding costs associated with batteries,"
continued Marsh. "Most importantly, Prelodis appreciates
the sustainability advantages to be realized by using
hydrogen-powered fuel cells in the facility's lift
truck vehicles."
Plug Power currently offers a full suite of CE-certified
GenDrive models that meet the specifications and qualifications
of European lift trucks. The Plug Power European sales
team is actively engaged with customers in areas with
high labor costs.
