Funding for the project comes from Sustainable Development Technology Canada, a foundation created by the Canadian government to support environmentally friendly technologies.

"General Motors of Canada operated two hydrogen-powered forklifts in our car plant in 2005 and we were impressed with the durability and reliability of the vehicles, as well as their environmental potential," says GM’s David Paterson. "We are excited to be part of this project that will help to advance hydrogen technology even further."
