Description
Product Overview
The Veth Hybrid Drive from Veth Propulsion by Twin Disc is a cutting-edge solution for efficient marine propulsion. As part of the Xanthis propulsion equipment range, the system combines diesel-direct and diesel-electric technology, allowing operators to select the most efficient drive mode across the vessel’s power curve. This ensures optimal fuel economy, reduced emissions, and adaptability to diverse sailing profiles while maintaining high redundancy and reliability.
Key Features
- Dual-Drive Flexibility: Choose between diesel-direct, diesel-electric, or a hybrid combination for maximum efficiency at all speeds.
- Fuel Efficiency: Optimized engine loading reduces overall fuel consumption across the full speed range.
- Low Maintenance Costs: Hybrid integration reduces engine wear and simplifies maintenance requirements.
- Battery Integration: Optional battery packs allow silent sailing, energy storage, and electric-only operation.
- Generator Capability: Electric motor can function as a propeller-shaft driven generator, supplying power to onboard systems.
- Reduced Operational Costs: Fewer hours on diesel engines and flexible energy management lower total lifecycle costs.
Technical Advantages
- Seamless transition between diesel-direct and diesel-electric modes for optimized propulsion.
- Hybrid system provides redundancy and higher operational safety compared to traditional diesel-electric setups.
- Battery-driven propulsion enables silent, emission-free operation when required.
- Generator integration allows auxiliary systems to run without separate gensets.
