Hybrid Transmissions

Description

ZF hybrid transmissions for an emission-free future at sea

Key Facts

• Hybrid transmissions for parallel, A and V applications
• From 600 to 11,500 kilowatts
• Solutions for FPP, CPP and Waterjets

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.

Almost endless possibilities

ZF Marine offers a broad portfolio of hybrid transmissions with a power range from approximately 600 kW (ZF 33X0 series) to 11,500 kW (ZF 83700) in conventional power and a solution for all propulsion models as FPP, CPP or Waterjet. Via power-take-in (PTI), ZF enables the integration of its transmissions with an electric motor and offers tailored solutions for all specific requirements and all applications.
In addition, ZF supplies complete systems with flexible couplings, electric pumps, inverters and electric control units.

Product Highlights

Electrified solutions even with limited installation space

ZF's compact and lightweight down-angle hybrid transmissions are perfect for fast vessels requiring high speeds and offer a suitable solution for any space requirement. The hybrid transmissions are designed for a maximum output of up to 1,940 kW (ZF 3200 A PTI) or 2,463 kW (ZF 5200 A PTI) and cover a ratio range of i=1.892 to i=4.240 or i=2.588 to i=4.250 for the primary drive.

Thanks to its special gear design, the electric motor can be compactly integrated into the transmission via its own drive shaft. In addition to saving space, this also means that the maximum output of the main drive does not have to be reduced in order to accommodate the additional input of the e-machine. This solution for down angle transmissions is unique on the market and the ideal choice for a range of fast vessels, such as leisure yachts, ferries or coastguard vessels.
