About us

Following a one-year trial on the apron, Hamburg Airport has ordered the first series-production vehicles based on our H₂ prototype to advance the decarbonization of airport logistics.

Successful completion of the HYDROPORTDRIVE project following over a year of intensive real-world testing of the hydrogen-powered airport apron vehicle at Hamburg Airport.

Moving into the new production facility in Mommenheim to expand our capacity for series production and the scaling of our H₂ drive systems.

Formation of the joint venture HYGEN Technologies GmbH to bundle expertise and accelerate the series development and commercialization of our mobile H₂ generators.

With the unveiling of the first HYGEN hydrogen generator, we are introducing an innovative, emission-free alternative to conventional diesel generators.

Based on the powertrain concept and the previous technical developments, the first technology demonstrator, a Mercedes Sprinter, was completed and tested for full functionality on a chassis dynamometer in a real-life test.

An HTM powertrain will be used for the first time in the subsidised Hydroportdrive project. To this end, an airport ground support vehicle will be completely converted to run on hydrogen and put into pilot operation at our partner airport.

“Best start-up idea” – we were awarded this title in the Pioneering Spirit competition. This award confirms the ambitions we are pursuing with HTM.

In co-operation with the Institute for Internal Combustion Engines and Vehicle Drives (VKM) at TU Darmstadt, a modular vehicle powertrain system was gradually developed for use in commercial vehicles, starting with initial engine tests.

HTM was founded on 18 September 2019 by the founders Silas Hofmann and Maximlian Wack. Jonas Kahl and Daniel Mescheryakov later joined the founding team.
