AngloPlat to Test Fuel Cell Transport

Mining Weekly reported Anglo American Platinum (JSE:AAL) will test a fuel-cell powered mine locomotive in the fist half of the year.

As quoted in the market news:

The point of the demonstration will be to show that fuel-cell powered locomotives can provide superior productivity and zero-emission underground transport.

The locomotives currently run off battery power. Fuel-celled forklift trucks have already gone commercial in the US, replacing battery-powered units.
