On show will its hybrid drivetrain, which is the driving force behind the Marell M17 Hybrid patrol boat and it will also have on display its first e-machine and dual inverter for marine applications.

“To celebrate Seawork’s 25th and Scania UK’s 60th anniversary, we couldn’t think of a better way than to showcase what the future holds for powertrains in the marine sector,” said Mark Oliver, sales director for Power Solutions, Bus and Coach at Scania UK.

“From the latest electric powertrains to the cleanest diesel engines and aftertreatment devices, Scania is showing how it’s ready to help the marine sector reduce its emissions, without compromising on performance.”

State-of-the-art

Scania’s hybrid powertrain has been developed alongside Marell Boats and Marine Jet Power to fit the Marell M17 hybrid patrol boat.

The hybrid patrol boat is equipped with a combination of Scania’s new hybrid technology with Marell’s technical boatbuilding craftmanship.

Powered by two Scania V8 engines and two electric motors, it has between 2500hp and 3050hp at its disposal, making it capable of doing more than 65 knots (74mph+).

But it also has the ability to travel silently and emissions-free in and out of harbours - which will be demonstrated on the Solent throughout the show.

This makes it ideal for operators, police, military and other government bodies requiring high-performance boats for long distance transits while minimising environmental impact.

Also, on the show stand will be Scania Power Solutions’ e-machine and dual inverter for marine applications.

The single electric motor is capable of producing 230kW of continuous power and 1500Nm of torque up to 1500rpm.

Scania is also taking the opportunity to acknowledge its new strategic partnership with the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI). The latest generation lifeboat, the Shannon class all-weather lifeboat, is powered by Scania engines.
