The team of 2024
We are the 2024 TU Delft Hydro Motion Team, a team of 23 ambitious students. As a student-driven team, we push the boundaries of technology to accomplish a future where industries, governments, and individuals work together to create systemic change towards sustainability. Our mission is to propel the maritime and energy industries towards a sustainable future by designing, producing, testing, and sailing a foiling hydrogen-powered boat in just one year. We are determined to mandate the inclusion of hydrogen-powered vessels, thereby developing additional infrastructure crucial for the green energy transition. Together we aim to mould the future of engineering and create a legacy of lasting impact.

The team at the Tu delft
The contribution of every team member is essential. Because of the different study backgrounds and personalities we have a very diverse team. We need everyone all year round in order to build this unique boat full of innovative techniques and in order to sail between the Netherlands and the United Kingdom.
All team members are very motivated to learn new things and give their 100%
