Yanmar Power Splits in Two to Continue Growing

There is a sense of reorganization at Yanmar Power, which is splitting into two independent entities to address market challenges in a more localized and targeted manner. From these premises, Yanmar Power Technology emerges, focusing on industrial power products, and Yanmar Power Solutions, focusing on marine and industrial engines, including medium- and high-speed models and standby power systems.

The Sustainability of Yanmar Power: The Japanese Flag to Improve Sustainability

One of the main reasons for this change is the significant shift towards sustainability happening across all industries, with each market facing its own unique environmental and technological challenges. By establishing Solutions Business Unit as an independent company, Yanmar can fully dedicate its attention to the highly specialised marine sector and its role in global decarbonisation. The Solutions Business Unit will concentrate on large engines for ships and land-based power systems, promoting cleaner, more innovative technologies such as hydrogen and methanol engines to support the worldwide aim of carbon neutrality by 2050.
