Coupang Fulfillment Service to Promote Eco-Friendly Hydrogen Logistics Center Project
SK · Kendal Square Sign MOU for 'Hydrogen Logistics Center Construction and Operation Project'
[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Cheol-hyun] Coupang announced on the 1st that its logistics subsidiary Coupang Fulfillment Service (hereinafter CFS) is promoting a hydrogen forklift introduction project together with SK Plug Hybus, a joint venture established by energy company SK E&S and U.S. hydrogen company Plug, and Kendall Square Asset Management.
On the same day, CFS, SK Plug Hybus, and Kendall Square Asset Management signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for the promotion of an eco-friendly hydrogen logistics center construction and operation project. Through this MOU, CFS will replace some of the electric forklifts currently operating outdoors at the Mokcheon logistics center in Cheonan, Chungnam, with hydrogen forklifts. Hydrogen forklifts can be charged quickly within about 3 to 5 minutes, significantly improving work efficiency and productivity compared to existing electric forklifts.
Going forward, CFS will record and analyze operational data of the hydrogen forklifts piloted at the Mokcheon logistics center, while SK Plug Hybus will be responsible for equipment introduction, hydrogen charging station installation and operation, and hydrogen-related permits. Kendall Square will actively support the provision of land for the hydrogen charging station and the related permit processes.
