What is the team about?

The TU Delft Hydro Motion Team is one of the Dream Teams at Delft University of Technology. Our team consists of 24 ambitious students from eleven different fields of study. In one year we go through the process of designing, producing and racing a boat that sails on green energy. Our team is fully committed every year to show the applications of our advanced technologies at spectacular races. 

For 15 years we have inspired the maritime industry with our flying solar boats. The 2021 team took the big step with the Hydro Motion project. They developed the first flying boat that sails on hydrogen! This year we officially rebranded and will continue under the name; TU Delft Hydro Motion Team.  

The 2022 Hydro Motion Team will continue working with hydrogen, this year we will design a boat optimised for hydrogen. With this boat we will compete in the Monaco Energy Boat Challenge in the Open Sea Class. 

This project gives our students the opportunity to gain practical experience and learn what it is like to work together in a multidisciplinary team towards an ambitious goal. During one year, they develop in multiple areas and gain skills that will benefit them for the rest of their professional career. With our team, we shape the engineers of a sustainable future. 

The 2022 team

We are the TU Delft Hydro Motion Team, a team of 24 driven students.  It is in our nature to challenge the future. We are driven visionaries: aspiring to improve the world, stepping up when faced by a challenge. Our vision is to inspire everyone, from individuals to big industry leaders, to accelerate the adaptation to sustainable technologies. Our mission is to demonstrate the viability of a more sustainable and green maritime industry, while encouraging development of future engineers.
