Lower fuel emissions through renewable liquid fuels

The use of alternative fuels such as hydrogenated vegetable oil (HVO) and green hydrogen (H2) makes an important contribution to sustainable power and heat generation. Compared to conventional diesel fuel, biofuels such as HVO lead to a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions over the entire life cycle. Many Cat brand engines are already 100% runable on HVO. The flexible use of hydrogen as an easily transportable energy medium makes the fuel a climate-friendly alternative.

Comprehensive solution for the acquisition and digitization of engine data

With customized products and services, Zeppelin Power Systems supports its customers in making the operation of their engines and systems more efficient and safer. The Active Equipment Connect (AEC) solution developed in-house makes it possible to connect engines and systems regardless of manufacturer, to record data around the clock, and to view and evaluate this data as required. The range of services extends from the simple provision of data via an interface and individualized reports in a customizable web portal to 24/7 monitoring, consulting and services. In Zeppelin Power Systems' Fleet Operations Center (FOC), employees can analyze the data, create trend analyses and make recommendations for action. They can detect deviations of certain parameters from their normal value at a very early stage, ideally taking preventive action and avoiding failures. This makes it possible to monitor engines, applications and entire fleets remotely, schedule maintenance as best as possible and coordinate the supply of spare parts.
