the Team of 2022
For over 15 years, we have been designing, building, and racing cutting-edge boats driven by sustainable tech. Each year the team builds a new boat made in conjunction with the knowledge of industry experts and the experience of alumni. This project grants the opportunity to test components operating together to accelerate innovation in the maritime industry.
With our team;
we inspire by showing what is possible,
we optimize by combining and sharing knowledge and experience,
we implement and push the limits of the newest technologies.
The team has been developing for years, exploring uncharted waters.
We’ve sailed at a top speed of 55 km/h on solar energy, with our custom-designed wings we made our boat fly, we became world champions in the open sea class, and we built the first flying hydrogen boat!
We will continue this motion of development to contribute to a sustainable world.
This year, we optimize every part of our boat for the use of hydrogen. We will design our boat to excel in endurance, speed, and manoeuvrability. To put our boat to the test, we will participate in the Offshore Competition of the Monaco Energy Boat Challenge to become world champions.
Our team shows what a multidisciplinary team of driven students can achieve with the right mindset and by combining their strengths. Being the engineers of the future, we take the next step towards a sustainable world.
We are the TU Delft Hydro Motion Team,
Sailing to a Sustainable Future.
The rebranding
The TU Delft Solar Boat Team was founded in 2005, and for 15 years we pushed the limits of solar-powered boat technologies. In 2020, the team took a new path by exploring the possibilities of hydrogen. The 2020 team built world’s first flying hydrogen boat with their project Hydro Motion!
We will continue exploring the potential of hydrogen and show our renewed identity by changing our name. From now on we are the TU Delft Hydro Motion Team!
