A wide range of Caterpillar locomotive engines plus our specific design measures help you to extend availability, reduce oil and fuel consumption, extend maintenance intervals and simplify maintenance work.
Sustainability with Hydrogen – Fuel Cell Technology for a Zero-Emission Future

Zeppelin Power Systems takes a holistic approach to sustainable energy and propulsion solutions—with a clear focus on decarbonization and resource efficiency. At the heart of this approach is hydrogen-based fuel cell technology. It enables reliable, CO₂-free power and heat generation as well as zero-emission propulsion – quiet, efficient, and scalable.
Whether in rail transport, marine applications, power and heat supply, or industrial processes: our PEM fuel cell system offers a forward-looking alternative to diesel-powered units. As a modular, manufacturer-independent solution, it can be flexibly integrated into both new and existing applications, from pilot projects to large-scale deployment.
With innovative technology, industry-specific consulting, and extensive expertise, we support our customers on their path to a climate-friendly transformation.
