ITM up on M&S tie up

ITM Power, which makes hydrogen fuel cells, has risen significantly this morning after announcing a tie up with UK retailing giant Marks & Spencer.

Using ITM's platform to generate hydrogen, the six week trial will see M&S using several fuel cell vehicles as a direct substitute for part of the existing battery powered fleet.

The move is part of M&S's"Plan A" initiative which aims to deliver zero emission vehicles which offer a two minute refuel time.
