Plug Power was able to target customers like Walmart, P&G and BMW and give them a better way to power and fuel lift truck and automated guided vehicle (AGV) fleets, resulting in a more productive, cost effective and sustainable workforce.<\/p>\n

Year by year, Plug Power has advanced the availability of commercially-viable hydrogen solutions to customers who vary from the above \u201ccriteria\u201d (be it fleet size or operator use-case), in a very systematic and strategic way. And in doing this, the company has expanded the scale of its servable market around the world.<\/p>\n
