Inland shipping
We are committed to a clean future for shipping without compromising on performance. With our 100% original EU Stage V Caterpillar installations, we offer inland shipping engines that are proven to be reliable and optimally efficient, and can also run on HVO without modifications. With our knowledge of alternative fuels, shore power, and other clean innovations, we bring an innovative perspective on the sustainability of inland vessels.
Zeppelin Power: knowledge of inland shipping
We have been at home in inland shipping for 100 years. Regulations, future regulations, certifications, and innovations are what we deal with on a daily basis. That's why we understand your situation and are a good conversational partner to make sound, future-proof choices. Is it currently wise to opt for a Stage V retrofit and operate on 100% HVO, or is it better to continue sailing for another five years and wait for new innovations? Contact our specialist, and we will be happy to think along with you.

The major differences between FAME and HVO
There are significant differences between FAME and HVO, the two main biofuels, and how they can be used in engines.
Is methanol the alternative to diesel oil in shipping?
In 2018, 173 IMO countries agreed to cut CO2 emissions from shipping 50% by 2050, focusing on alternative fuels like methanol.
Sailing on methanol
Technology for sailing on methanol is under development, and ships need to be adapted. Read more about it in this article.
Engines for inland shipping
Inland shipping engines must be reliable, efficient, and cost-effective. Regulations and certifications are more important than ever. Our total solutions meet these requirements and cover a range from 129 bKW to 1900 bKW. These are genuine Caterpillar solutions, including EU Stage V engines. What makes this unique is that the exhaust aftertreatment system has the same lifespan as the engine. Equally important is the fact that our marine engines have been approved to run on 100% HVO since 1991 without any modifications.
