Gothenburg partnership
Volvo Penta has announced an agreement to work on diesel electric projects with its Gothenburg, Sweden neighbour Callenberg Technology Group — furthering its commitment to providing sustainable power solutions.
The agreement, signed earlier this year, provides the framework for how the two companies will run projects and approach the market together.
Volvo Penta and Callenberg have worked together for many years; as experts in automation and controls, Callenberg has long provided Volvo Penta with electrical components for its marine gensets. But now the two companies will also work together to provide customers with Callenberg’s complete diesel electric solutions — powered by Volvo Penta marine gensets.
Callenberg manages onboard electrical energy for a wide range of maritime customers. Instead of burning diesel to produce electrical energy, customers can opt for a more energy-efficient solution — including diesel-electric systems — from Callenberg.
