All-electric and diesel electric propulsion systems are becoming more and more popular on vessels. By involving our technology, innovative drive train concepts are turning into reality. You may consider all-electric propulsion for silent and eco-friendly navigation on in-shore routes as well as diesel electric propulsion as a range extender for off-shore trips.

Precise control of speed and unrivaled simplicity of operation lower stress for skippers significantly - especially in narrow marinas. These might be the reasons why diesel electric propulsion systems are already installed on many vessels – from cruise ships to work boats.

Advantages of Diesel Electric Drive Trains with Energy Storage

• Increased space below deck: Flexible installation of generator, motor and batteries
• High efficiency:  Gen-set operates at the point of maximum efficiency
• Autarkic charging: Charging of energy modules by the generator
• Reduced number of components: No gear box required
• High availability: No cranking problems and zero warm-up time
• Excellent control: Simple implementation of automatic positioning systems
