What a strong signal from Hamburg Airport on the way to #NetZero2035! 🚀✈️
After one year of practical testing under real operating conditions on the apron, our joint hydrogen retrofit project is now entering the next phase: the first series vehicles based on the tested prototype have been ordered! 🎉📦
For us, this is a special milestone — not only from a technical perspective, but also because of the strong collaboration behind it. 🤝
A big thank you to the sustainability team at Hamburg Airport around Julian Klaaßen for the great project support, the open exchange, and the trust throughout the entire test phase.
We would also like to thank the GroundSTARS team for the close cooperation during daily operations, the hands-on feedback from the field, the pragmatic problem-solving, and, of course, the occasional long evening that is part of breaking new ground together. 🛠️
Our thanks also go to the House of Logistics and Mobility (HOLM) GmbH Innovation Funding, which strongly supported the project with funds from the State of Hesse. This support played an important role in developing the technology and testing it under real-life operating conditions. A special thank you also goes to the FAS – Institut für Fahrzeugantriebssysteme, TU Darmstadt, which was involved as a project partner and contributed valuable scientific and technical expertise. 🔬💡
The results show that hydrogen-powered apron vehicles can play a real role in decarbonizing airport logistics — especially when existing vehicles are retrofitted in a resource-efficient way and integrated smoothly into established operational processes. 🌱🔄
We are very much looking forward to the next steps with Hamburg Airport and to continuing our contribution to the decarbonization of apron mobility! 🛫⚡
Are you operating an airport, logistics site, or a fleet of baggage or cargo tractors and interested in retrofitting existing vehicles with hydrogen powertrain technology? Or are you considering the purchase of hydrogen-powered vehicles?
Feel free to reach out to us — we are looking forward to discussing practical, sustainable, and economically viable hydrogen solutions for your operations!
