The hybrid system developed by MAN combines all the advantages of a conventional drive system with the latest possibilities afforded by electric motors and batteries. In addition to improving efficiency and extending the range, noise emissions can be completely eliminated.

In 2020, Hug Engineeering developed a new catalyst which enables chemical performances that, given the same volume, are higher than 50 per cent. This is indeed a significant step forward towards a better ATS integration and switchability.

Introduced during a digital event, the C90 170 features 170 hp (125 kilowatts) power output at 2,000 rpm and 1,105 Nm at 1,000 rpm maximum torque. Also, the innovative keel cooling is now available to some FPT marine engines.

ZF Marine pushes on hybrid with a systems that enable the additional installation of electric drives with power levels between 150 and 750 kW

Ferretti Yachts has recently launched its largest ever yacht. It’s called just 1000 and the very first boat was booked by a French owner. The new mega yacht will feature a couple of MTU engines capable of ensuring a huge amount of power.

Scania and Whiteheaven, from the Scandinavian sea to to the Australian coral reef. The Whitehaven 8000 propulsion is powered by a couple of orange engines with the peak power at 2300 rpm and a peak torque of 4100 Nm at 1800 rpm. Top speed is 22 knots. The fabulous V8 challenges the competitors, brav...

Grimaldi Group has turned to Vulkan for the replacement of two propulsion engine couplings installed on board the Cruise Smeralda motor vessel with the RATO S couplings from Vulkan. In this case, conversion means the installation of a new type of couplings compared to the previous ones. A project st...

MAN Engines seems to work quite well with some of the major Italian luxury yacht shipyards. In fact, the Group has announced the extension of the collaboration with Ferretti Group, right after the announcement about another long-lasting cooperation, the one with Azimut Benetti.
