What is BS EN 62282-4-102-Industrial electric trucks?
The EN 62282 is a European Standard series that covers various aspects of fuel cell technologies. The main objective of EN 62282 is to improve the performance and safety of fuel cell power systems.
BS EN 62282-4-102 is one of the parts of the series that covers performance test methods of fuel cell power systems intended to be used for electrically powered industrial trucks.
The scope of BS EN 62282-4-102 is limited to electrically powered industrial trucks. Hybrid trucks that include an internal combustion engine are not included in the scope. The scope of this standard will be applicable to material-handling equipment, e.g. forklifts.
BS EN 62282-4-102 applies to gaseous hydrogen-fuelled fuel cell power systems and direct methanol fuel cell power systems for electrically powered industrial trucks.
Gaseous hydrogen and methanol fuels are considered within the scope of BS EN 62282-4-102
Note: BS EN 62282-4-102 does not apply to reformer-equipped fuel cell power systems.
Who is BS EN 62282-4-102-Industrial electric trucks for?
BS EN 62282-4-102 on fuel cell power systems for industrial electric trucks is useful to:
- Warehouse Logistics trucks manufacturers
- Buses and trains manufacturers
- Personal Vehicles manufacturers
- Aerospace manufacturers
- Uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems
- Unmanned Arial Vehicles (UAVs)
Why should you use BS EN 62282-4-102-Industrial electric trucks?
Hydrogen powers fuel cell electric trucks are more efficient than traditional internal combustion engine vehicles and create no tailpipe emissions only water vapour and warm air.
BS EN 62282-4-102 provides consistent and repeatable test methods for the electric/thermal and environmental performance of fuel cell power systems for industrial electric trucks.
The purpose of BS EN 62282-4-102 is to evaluate the fuel cell system in the various combinations of fuel cell modes and forklift truck modes. This document will break down these different modes and provide a framework for designing and evaluating a fuel cell system for use specifically in a forklift truck.
The best industry guidance in BS EN 62282-4-102 can help you to improve the safety, performance, and interchangeability of fuel cell power systems for industrial trucks other than road vehicles and auxiliary power units (APUs).
