Applications
We have developed systems for both maritime and land-based applications, all based on our in-house developed engineering platform. Our competence is best expressed in our experience.
The overview below shows a selection of applications of our systems.

Liebherr hydrogen excavators
HAPSS – Commercial hydrogen-powered aircraft
Ab Initio – Sustainable Training Vessel
DREAMH2AUL – Hydrogen-electric semi trucks
TULIPS – GPU (Ground Power Unit) for aircraft
ISHY – Implementation of Ship Hybridisation
SWIM – Hydrogen-electric watertaxi in Rotterdam
Hydrogen Yard Tractor YT203-H2
TULIPS is a consortium with 29 airports, airlines, knowledge institutes and industrial partners aiming to develop innovations that facilitate the transition to low-carbon mobility and enhance sustainability at airports. One of the planned projects is the development of a HGPU (Hydrogen Ground Power Unit) by zepp.solutions.
Two Liebherr 916 Litronic wheeled excavators were outfitted with zepp.Y50 hydrogen fuel cell systems and hydrogen storage solutions.
In Rotterdam, passengers can board a water taxi running on hydrogen. It was the world’s first commercial boat of this scale to operate entirely on this zero-emission fuel. The hydrogen-water taxi was developed by the SWIM consortium.
Development and implementation of a scalable hydrogen fuel cell system for maritime applications.
Terberg Benschop B.V. and zepp.solutions B.V. joined forces for the development of a fuel cell yard tractor, the YT203-H2. The objective of this collaboration is the development, testing and demonstration of a hydrogen fuel cell yard tractor, optimized for the demanding operations of a conventional Terberg tractor.
Zepp.solutions developed the hydrogen fuel cell system and hydrogen storage system for a new training vessel for the STC Group. The 67 meter-long ship will be used for the practical training of students of maritime courses. The ‘Ab Initio’ entered service in September 2022.
This major Dutch partnership aims at building a hydrogen system for aircraft, completely green, from fuel to propulsion. The system will be scalable to larger aircraft.
Within the DreamH2aul project, zepp.solutions will develop a hydrogen fuel cell system with an extremely high power density. This system will be integrated into 2 semi-trucks that will carry enough hydrogen tanks for a range of at least 600 km. These trucks will refuel green hydrogen at a public filling station that will be realized within the project on the important North Sea-Baltic TEN-T Corridor.
