President George W. Bush got a demo of a hydrogen-powered Crown pallet truck while touring the GrafTech International facility last month in Parma, Ohio.

GrafTech manufactures graphite material for the proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cell power unit made by Cellex Power Products.

"President Bush's visit marked an excellent opportunity to showcase how fuel cells can be used as an environmentally friendly alternative to batteries," says Cellex president Chris Reid. "Supply chain partners such as GrafTech and Crown are vital in building a strong foundation for the widespread application of fuel cell systems."
