HYBRID PROPULSION SYSTEM

The combined diesel-mechanic and diesel- 4 000
electric propulsion system with 2-speed gear
improves the efficiency when the operational
2 000
profile contains modes with varying loads.
The possibility to generate power from
both main engines and gen-sets will result in

MAIN ACHIEVEMENTS
Low cost (Capex and Opex) due to the 5000
