AFC Energy PLC has announced an agreement to supply S Series fuel cell modules to Niftylift (UK) Limited for integration with its next generation mobile elevating work platform. Niftylift, one of the largest mobile elevating work platform (MEWP) manufacturers in Europe, will integrate the modules into their H2E platforms before assessing opportunities to scale the fuel cells into larger MEWPs. The global sales of Niftylift's zero emission H2E series of powered access machines into Europe, the United States, and the Middle East highlight the immediate opportunity and scale of the market.
Niftylift's Managing Director, John Keely, expressed excitement about the collaboration with AFC Energy, stating that it enhances their strong reputation in offering zero emission powered access equipment to a growing international market. Adam Bond, Chief Executive at AFC Energy, emphasized the strategic focus on decarbonization of industry through the displacement of diesel and the excitement to work with Niftylift in enhancing their H2E powered access offering with zero emission fuel cell modules. The agreement is seen as an opportunity to open new opportunities for system integration with heavy plant and equipment, driving down costs to end users.
The collaboration aligns with AFC Energy's sector focus, both in the UK and internationally. The company will design and sell its S Series fuel cell modules packaged specifically for Niftylift, based on its next generation S Series architecture, in early 2025. This partnership is a significant step for AFC Energy in advancing its technology in a sustainable way and expanding its market reach.
