What zepp.solutions does

zepp.solutions is a Netherlands-based developer and integrator of heavy-duty PEM (Proton Exchange Membrane) hydrogen fuel cell systems, headquartered in Delft with a planned assembly plant in Rotterdam. Founded in 2017 with origins in hydrogen motorsport, the company sells two core technology platforms — the X150 (~150 kW net) and Y50 (50 kW net) modular, plug-and-play fuel cell systems — which integrate fuel cell stacks, hydrogen supply, energy management, thermal control, DCDC converters, and safety systems into a single package. These systems form the basis of both zepp's own branded products and OEM-embedded integrations with vehicle and equipment manufacturers.

The company's commercial portfolio spans stationary power (the G240, G500, G750, and G1000 hydrogen gensets in ISO containers delivering 150 kW to 1 MW) and mobile applications, including the Europa hydrogen-electric semi-truck (First Edition at 350 bar with >700 km range; Series Edition at 700 bar with >1000 km range, planned for 2026), the Terberg YT203-H2 hydrogen yard tractor, Liebherr 916 excavator conversions, the Watertaxi Rotterdam vessel, the Schiphol hydrogen GPU, and a hydrogen genset deployed on Van den Herik's Prins 6 crane barge. Revenue is generated through project-based hardware sales (fuel cell systems, gensets, complete vehicles) and custom development/integration services, with pricing conducted via quote-based B2B contracts and a public TCO tool supporting the Europa truck.

Go-to-market is a hybrid direct enterprise sales and OEM-embedded model: zepp sells to fleet operators (Eska, ITG, Vos Transport, BCTN, Van den Herik) and infrastructure operators (Watertaxi Rotterdam, Royal Schiphol Group) while also supplying Terberg Techniek/Benschop as a Tier-1 component supplier for OEM vehicle platforms. The business is deeply intertwined with publicly funded European and Dutch consortium programmes — TULIPS (€25M EC), HAPSS (€383M National Growth Fund), DreamH2aul, NERA-H2, and SWIM — which provide non-dilutive capital, validation environments, and co-development partners. Customers and end-markets are concentrated in the Netherlands and broader Europe across maritime, construction, transport/logistics, aviation, and stationary power segments, with regulatory tailwinds from EU and Dutch zero-emission mandates underpinning demand.

Core offering

zepp.solutions designs, develops, produces, and integrates heavy-duty PEM (Proton Exchange Membrane) hydrogen fuel cell systems and hydrogen-electric generator sets (gensets) for mobile and stationary applications. The company offers modular fuel cell platforms (zepp.X150 at ~150 kW and zepp.Y50 at 50 kW) that power its own genset products (G240, G500, G750, G1000) and are integrated into OEM vehicles, vessels, aircraft, and equipment. Products target decarbonization of heavy-duty applications where battery-electric solutions are impractical due to range, charging time, or weight constraints.

Product overview

zepp.solutions is a hydrogen fuel cell technology company offering two product families: hydrogen fuel cell systems (zepp.X150 at ~150 kW and zepp.Y50 at 50 kW) as modular power platforms, and hydrogen-electric generator sets (G-series: G240, G500, G750, G1000 ranging from 150 kW to 1 MW continuous power). The fuel cell systems serve as core technology for both the company's own genset products and for integration into customer vehicles and equipment. The portfolio also includes completed vehicle applications like the Europa hydrogen truck, YT203-H2 yard tractor, and maritime projects like the Rotterdam Watertaxi. All products use PEM-based fuel cell technology and produce only water as emission.
