The Zeppelin Group is expanding the nationwide presence of Zeppelin Plant Engineering’s business unit Quality Service. By doing so and in order to stay abreast of the constant developments in aerospace expertise and the growing service spectrum, the business unit has been renamed Zeppelin Aviation & Industrial Service. In June 2018, the company will open its doors at a new location near the Cologne Bonn airport, where various facilities such as a modern training center for the aviation industry are being installed.

From May 18 to November 4, 2018, the company will be showcasing its integrated range of services at the "Innovations! Destination: Future" exhibition

The event is all about the future of the construction industry and what contribution the Zeppelin Group can make in shaping it. Visitors to the exhibition in Friedrichshafen will be able to make their way interactively and digitally through a virtual Zeppelin world of construction, from planning and setting up a construction site to fitout and commissioning. The Zeppelin Group offers its customers solutions from a one-stop shop. And, for visitors to the exhibition, the company will be putting on attractions including a whole digital construction site experience. 

The company will unveil the perfectly preserved sports car as part of the "Innovations! Destination: Future" exhibition at the Zeppelin Museum in Friedrichshafen.

This automobile is a unique specimen from the age of Germany’s "economic miracle" and a piece of Friedrichshafen’s industrial history. At the request of two wealthy American brothers, the Zeppelin Group built a unique car in 1957, known as the Gaylord Gladiator. The only automobile of its type in the world had lain under the radar for more than 60 years. Pure chance led to the Zeppelin Group reclaiming this unique specimen, a real piece of company history.

The company’s Power Systems business unit is making a contribution to environmental protection with its LNG (Liquefied Natural Gas) engines 

The Zeppelin Group supports the process of establishing LNG (Liquefied Natural Gas) as an environmentally friendly fuel. With gas and dual-fuel engines from the Power Systems business unit, ships can be powered with Liquefied Natural Gas both while in the harbor and at sea. This results in significant lower emissions than with heavy fuel oil and marine diesel. The delivery of environmentally friendly liquid gas engines to Carnival Corporation represents an outstanding success.
