Our Mission

To revolutionize the construction and agricultural machinery industry by challenging legacy machinery manufacturers with our innovative technology and our approach to business, our people, our community and our environment.
 

Our Vision

Common sense zero-emission equipment

Founded in November 2025 by Gavin Duffy, Zeromachine emerged from a three-and-a-half-year quest to reimagine sustainable construction equipment. We’re bridging the gap between cutting-edge hydrogen fuel cell innovation and the rugged demands of the industry.

We want to introduce true ‘Lifecycle Design’ – A wholly sustainable, holistic approach to product design that accounts for the full life of the machine from it's inception through to disposal, specifically ease of servicing and repair further significantly reducing the total cost of ownership as well as giving end of life recycling and remanufacture opportunities.

Our machines will have performance that matches or exceeds diesel and battery electric counterparts removing industry barriers to adoption.

We want to offer customers true operational flexibility with 24/7 Zero emission operation, 10 minutes to refuel like a diesel, with no downtime at all to charge. It’s a Hybrid machine so it will be quiet while it’s working, and it can work indoors or outside.

Our customers will enjoy simplified maintenance and repair due to the nature of the technology utilised in the design of the machine that will use electric linear actuators rather than hydraulic cylinders, further significantly reducing maintenance costs and vastly improving energy efficiency as well as eliminating the need for polluting fluid power transmission fluids that require frequent and costly changes from the machine.

We want to establish a world-class Research, Development and Manufacturing facility in Blyth, Northumberland creating significant employment opportunities for the area making a lasting positive impact on the local community, the region and the environment.

We promise the market a British designed, developed and manufactured product and we will be looking to localise our supply chain where possible – local, regional, national then international, in that order of priority.

 

Behind the Scenes

For now, it’s just Gavin Duffy—founder and Chief Technical Officer—driving Zeromachine forward. 

Gavin, an innovative Scottish automotive electrical design engineer has over 30 years of experience, the last 15 of which he has specialised in low and zero emission technologies in off-highway and Non Road Mobile Machinery (NRMM) .

Gavin’s expertise, determination and creativity is not only the backbone our R&D but the foresight behind what an environmentally aware and socially responsible company should be. 

We’re keeping the details under wraps as we refine our technology, but we’re committed to delivering machines that redefine sustainability in construction and agriculture.

Gavin is being supported in this project by the Royal Academy Of Engineering and the Department for Innovation, Science and Technology as part of their Regional Talent Engines Programme

Zeromachine Ltd. is supported by way of a software donation from the Autodesk Foundation under their Technology Impact Programme.

What next?

We’re in stealth mode, but the wheels are in motion. Follow our journey as we gear up to revolutionize farms & construction sites—quietly, cleanly, and powerfully.
