Caterpillar Marine is to adapt deep hybrid and electric expertise from across its enterprise, selectively incorporating technology from machine and off-highway products, to offer such systems to marine customers.
These developments are considered to have potential to expand Caterpillar Marine’s capabilities for delivering advanced hybrid and electric power systems that help minimise customers’ fuel usage, environmental impact and total cost of ownership while maximising reliability and productivity.
The aim is not only to supply optimised hybrid and electric solutions to the industry but also to ensure that customers receive the same level of support they have come to expect from Caterpillar Marine. Regardless of where the vessel is constructed or delivered, whether operating in fixed locations or transiting through territories around the world, Caterpillar Marine dealers will be equipped with the training and resources needed to provide full product support for Caterpillar’s next generation of hybrid and electric propulsion and power system solutions.
Caterpillar Marine MD Derrick York said: “This is an incredibly exciting time at Caterpillar Marine. Our product strategies have always been shaped by the voices of our customers, and those voices are now steering our system-level solutions as well. We look forward to helping our valued customers navigate the energy transition with our growing portfolio of products, technologies, and solutions.”
