Powering the future with electrification
Electrification is one of the most important strategies for reducing CO2 emissions in the net-zero emission scenario by 2050. NPS Driven aims to play a key role in shaping a sustainable future, committed to developing power solutions based on electrification. Traditional combustion engines powered by fossil fuels are gradually being replaced by advanced, whisper-quiet, and highly efficient electric engines. To support this transition, we work closely with our partners and customers, to explore and implement the most suitable power solutions.
NPS Driven actively contributes to various electrification projects. In recent years, we participated in a government-subsidized initiative known as GTD-E project (Green Transport Delta-Electrification). Additionally, we are developing our own battery system in cooperation with Hyundai HD Infracore and a valued customer.

Achieving climate goals through GTD-E
The GTD-E project aims to develop a robust battery eco-system in the Netherlands to accelerate the transition towards climate-neutral mobility. As part of this initiative, NPS Driven has contributed by developing a fire-resistant battery system designed to enhance environmentally friendly power solutions in the maritime industry.
This project progressed through three distinct research phases. In the first phase, we compiled a comprehensive list of requirements, preferences, and constraints (RPCs) and conducted thorough market research. This foundation informed the second phase, where we developed a concept design prioritizing safety and efficiency for marine operations. This design incorporated unique safety features specifically tailored to the marine environment. In the final phase, all aspects of the research were submitted to the relevant authority for assessment and discussion. After receiving approval, we proceeded to build a prototype, ensuring a design for easy installation with plug-and-play capability, simplifying integration for shipbuilders. The next steps involve further development of this prototype and finding a launching customer for its initial application.
A standout feature of our battery system is its modular, rack-based design which offers flexibility and scalability. Additional battery strings can be added in parallel, providing nominal capacities of 140, 280, or 420 kWh at 614 volts. The system also incorporates essential components that meet stringent regulations, including compliance with the A-60 fire safety standard, ensuring safety at every stage. Moreover, the design facilitates retrofitting and eases the shipyard’s integration efforts.
The process of developing a battery pack
Driven by the growing focus on zero-emission policies, a valued customer needed to prepare for emission-free operations. This prompted an initial exploratory study to determine the battery capacity required to power their machines fully electrical.
Following this preparatory work, we collaborated to explore the possibilities in greater depth. Together with HD Hyundai Infracore and a valued customer, we have started developing our own battery pack. During discussions, we identified specific requirements and preferences while developing scalable solutions This resulted in a concept with an expandable battery option, tailored to various applications and capacities.
Based on the customer’s specifications, we developed a battery pack, with each pack having a nominal capacity of 64.5 kWh and 614.4 Volts. To meet the customer’s needs, a total of three battery packs were chosen. This configuration provides the machine with enough energy to operate for a full workday. Overnight, the batteries can be recharged using a 20 kW charger, ensuring the system is fully ready for the next workday. The chosen battery chemistry, Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP), is renowned for its safety and durability, making it an ideal choice for heavy-duty industrial applications.
Together with engineers from HD Hyundai infracore, a prototype will be built to validate the required performance and suitability of the system for the customer. WE administer these tests in-house in our own testing facility. Once the system is developed and internally tested, it will undergo field testing in the customer’s applications.


Partner in energy transition
We guide our customers step by step through their energy transition, from formulating requirements and preferences for their respective business to implementing a solution that perfectly aligns with the needs for the application. Data analysis plays a crucial role in this process, as we examine the factors such as application, operating hours, (peak) load, fuel consumption, etc. Based on the results, we identify the most suitable electrical solution. This can vary from fully electric to parallel or hybrid systems. We specialize in designing and developing complete system architectures, ensuring seamless integration of new technologies into existing applications. This expertise enables us to support our customer in achieving a smooth and efficient transition.
Here are some examples of questions we can help to address:
- Which hybrid or electric solution best suits my situation and application?
- How can I implement new technology without disrupting my current processes?
- Which laws and regulations apply to my business in the future?
- What are the requirements for switching to an electric solution?

The Electrification Era: the solutions for zero emissions
“Electrification is one of the strategies worldwide for reducing CO₂ emissions, with the potential to cut emissions by 3 to 5 million tons by 2030. In the industrial, marine, and power generation markets, electrification is becoming an affordable solution towards zero emissions. Having grown up with a passion for engineering and hands-on problem-solving, my journey has solidified my belief in the transformative potential of electrification. Within NPS Driven we have a great team of engineers that are capable of supporting customers in the respective markets. This, combined with our supplier base on batteries, components, and software knowledge we can not only design the solution for our customers, but also challenge them on their requirements, to make sure we deliver them the most suitable solution.”
