Zeppelin Power Systems Solutions for Industry
Premium drive technology for diverse applications
For industrial applications, we develop customized engine concepts that are precisely tailored to the specific operating conditions. Performance, efficiency, and durability are the focus, ensuring a reliable power source even under the most demanding conditions.
Powerful industrial engines for compressors and pumps
Our drives are used, for example, in mobile and stationary air compressors deployed in chemical plants or for air-powered tools, as well as in high-pressure water pumps used to remove concrete from bridges or clean ship hulls.
Drives for winches – precision and power in pipeline construction
Powerful cable and drum winches are used in overhead line construction and heavy lifting operations. Our industrial engines provide the required power and ensure precise control – essential for smooth workflows in power and communications network engineering.
Municipal and winter service equipment – reliable in all weather conditions
From snow blowers at airports to de-icing vehicles and sweepers – our engines ensure reliable operation of municipal specialty vehicles.
Especially for runway vehicles, it is crucial that the engines perform flawlessly under extreme temperatures of up to -40°C. Thanks to special preheating technologies such as heating blankets and engine heaters, we guarantee maximum readiness for operation, even in the harshest conditions.

Drive solutions from Zeppelin Power Systems – precisely tailored to your application
Engineering expertise for customized requirements
Our solutions go far beyond standard configurations. Each application has unique requirements for performance characteristics, efficiency, and integration – which is why we develop customized drive concepts that are precisely tailored to the specific operating conditions.
Thanks to our extensive engineering expertise, we optimize the engine maps specifically for certain applications by adjusting performance curves, torque profiles, and load acceptance behavior. In high-performance applications requiring high RPMs – such as belt-driven milling systems or high-pressure pumps for concrete removal – we ensure maximum efficiency and power output through modified injection characteristics, adapted exhaust aftertreatment systems, and optimized turbocharger design. At the same time, we develop special configurations for applications that operate at low speeds with high torque, such as drum winches in overhead line construction or snow blowers in winter service. Here, the focus is on fuel-efficient operation with stable torque delivery at low RPM, reducing wear and extending component lifespan.
Additionally, mechanical adjustments like horizontal installation, modified airflow, or specialized cooling systems can be made to accommodate space constraints in tight machine rooms while ensuring easy maintenance.
Industrial engines with state-of-the-art exhaust aftertreatment systems
In addition, our industrial engines utilize state-of-the-art emission aftertreatment systems – including DOC, DPF, and SCR – to meet the strictest environmental standards (such as EU Stage V and EPA Tier 4 Final). Our solutions also integrate innovative technologies like closed crankcase ventilation (CCV), which redirects oil-laden exhaust gases back into the intake system, further minimizing environmental impact.
