Schiphol is conducting tests with the first hydrogen-powered GPU at the airport. The unit in question is the H2-GPU, a hydrogen-powered Ground Power Unit (GPU) that supplies stationary aircraft at the gate with power, for example for lighting and power in the cockpit. Schiphol is the first airport in the world to have a working H2-GPU and allow it in operations.The H2-GPU was developed by zepp.solutions in collaboration with Dynell, an Austrian GPU manufacturer.

Zepp.solutions has been awarded the prestigious “Nieuwe Heldenprijs” (New Heroes Award) for the most promising scaleup of the Rotterdam metropolitan region. The award was presented during a ceremony celebrating outstanding entrepreneurial achievements in the region.

Zepp.solutions, a leader in the European hydrogen fuel cell industry, has secured a €3 million investment. This funding comes from the Rotterdam Energy Transition Fund and a reputable private investor deeply embedded in the Rotterdam tech scene. The investment will support zepp in expanding its operational capabilities in response to rising market demands.
