Electric and hybrid propul­sion

Environ­mental aware­ness and green focus are becoming increas­ingly impor­tant in the devel­op­ment of the products of the future and our product line.

SMART Hydrive® is a series of frequency converter solutions for electric and hybrid propul­sion. The system gives great flexi­bi­lity, and suits a wide range of vessel types.

Future ready solutions

Hybrid and electric propul­sion opens the doors to a wide number of energy sources. This means that vessels equipped with these sustai­nable solutions, are ready to meet tomor­rows require­ment for signi­fi­cantly reduc­tion of emissions.

An early dialog with our custo­mers gives us the best opport­u­nity for finding the optimum solution. To do so, opera­tional profile, available energy sources, flexi­bi­lity and ROI are all impor­tant premise provi­ders.
