The team of 2026
We are the TU Delft Hydro Motion Team of 2026; a passionate, multi-disciplinary team of 26 students united by one shared mission—to drive the maritime industry towards a sustainable future. Fossil fuels are no longer viable in a world that demands sustainability and innovation. By designing a hydrogen-powered boat, we aim to showcase the power of green technology. But we cannot do this alone. True progress lies in collaboration; working hand in hand with the maritime sector to ensure that cleaner, greener solutions become the new standard. This will create a world we can proudly pass on to future generations.
