Benefits
The future belongs to clean and sustainable propulsion technology
Ever more strict environmental regulations and laws on the world's oceans demand clean, sustainable propulsion technology for shipping. The hybrid transmissions developed by ZF represent an important component for the realization of environmentally-friendly propulsion systems. For ship operators, this means lower fuel consumption and lower emissions.
ZF offers the right propulsion solution for a wide range of vessel types. ZF hybrid propulsion solutions odder more operational flexibility, such as the operation of harbor tugs in stand-by-mode, electric only docking of ferries and motor yachts in harbours, as well as almost silent, low-vibration maneuvering of research vessels.
Operation in the PTI-mode saves main engine operating hours resulting in an extended service life of the unit as well as lower operating costs.
Technical Information
A hybrid drive is the combination of different drive technologies. In a hybrid transmission, an electric motor performs functional tasks of the engine, such as exerting force on the drive train.
Features of the ZF hybrid transmissions:
- Wide range of configuration options: PTOs, trolling valves, trailing pumps
- Adaptation of the housing depending on the application (cast iron or light alloy)
- Maximum installation flexibility
- Reversing gearboxes with the configurations DR (diagonal right) and DL (diagonal left) are available
Compact All-Rounder
ZF 5200 A PTI - First hybrid-capable down angle marine transmission with power take-in and a wide range of transmission ratios.
The transmission is also available in a V-drive configuration and an optionally integrated shaft brake improves the ship's maneuverability and crash-stop behavior.
Thanks to modular construction and a compact design, ZF hybrid transmissions take up extremely little space, which leaves more room for additional hotel space, for example.
