Plug Power collaborates with Carreras Grupo Logistico

Plug Power is collaborating with Carreras Grupo Logistico to launch a complete green hydrogen ecosystem in Spain. The initiative will aim to establish, through a fuel cell technology advantages validation project, the first hydrogen-powered logistics site in Spain at Carreras Grupo Logistico’s logistics center in Masquefa, Barcelona. Plug is working with Carreras to replace existing lead-acid battery-powered forklifts with hydrogen fuel cells to support decarbonization and efficiency improvements of Carreras Grupo Logistico’s operations. The transition to green hydrogen will improve energy efficiency, productivity, and sustainability while reducing operational costs. The project at Masquefa will serve as a testing site to evaluate the improvements using Plug’s technology over batteries. Insights gained from the project will be used to scale the hydrogen fuel cell technology across other sites in Spain and integrate it into Carreras Group’s core logistics business that includes 46 warehouses.
