Hydrogen in real operation – at Hamburg Airport!

9. July 2025

🚧 Pilot project launched! Together with Hamburg Airport, we are putting the first hydrogen-powered baggage tug into practical use.

What makes it special: The vehicle is based on an existing natural gas luggage tractor, which we have equipped with our HTM hydrogen hybrid drive system. 🔧 Retrofitting instead of buying new – a strong sign that sustainable mobility is also possible with clever conversions.


🔍 Advantages in airport operations at a glance:

💸 Lower investment costs 🌱 CO₂-free operation ⏱️ Scalable operating times ⛽ Fast refuelling ❄️ Reliable in any weather


💬 Voices from the project:

“The conversion of existing vehicles offers a realistic and scalable way to gradually make our ground services CO₂-free.” – Julian Klaaßen, Project Manager NET ZERO 2035, Hamburg Airport


🔜 Next milestone:

🧪 The endurance test in ongoing summer operations is imminent – a decisive step on the way to emission-free ground handling.
