The two companies will cooperate on unique solutions for hybrid and full electric vessels
Danfoss Power Solutions’ Editron division and Tesya Group, a global solution provider and Caterpillar dealer, have signed a cooperation agreement to accelerate the electrification of the marine industry in Southern Europe.
By leveraging their strengths, both businesses will create unique solutions for hybrid and fully electric vessels for their local customers. The joint offer will comprise diesel genset, batteries, propulsion inverters and motors, propeller systems and all necessary controls. The Editron division and Tesya Group will start their partnership by focusing on the electrification of yachts, passenger vessels and workboats.
Danfoss’ Editron division will combine its hybrid-electric marine propulsion system with Tesya Group’s products, which include CAT diesel engines, propellers and control systems. The Editron division will support Tesya Group’s electrification projects by providing its electrical machines, converters and transformers, compact and class-approved DC links and other equipment required for the operation of hybrid and fully electric vessels.
Meanwhile, Tesya Group will supply energy-efficient marine engines, shaft systems and other heavy marine propulsion equipment.
“We are excited to officially join forces with Tesya Group,” says Philipp Fedorov, marine sales director at Danfoss’ Editron division. “Mediterranean countries are increasingly developing their shipbuilding industries, while looking for alternative, more sustainable marine solutions. By combining our skills and technologies, we’ll be able to offer our local customers a turnkey solution for the best possible operation of their vessels.
“We are ready to deliver hybrid and fully electric solutions that will help decarbonise the marine sector and are confident that our collaboration will set new industry standards in the region,” he adds.
Danfoss’ Editron division specialises in hybrid and electric powertrain systems for the marine, off-highway and on-highway markets. The company has operations in Finland, Denmark, China, the US and UK.
Tesya is an international group of 19 companies that specialise in everything from construction equipment, cogeneration plants and warehousing equipment to marine propulsion and on-road logistics. The companies have roots in 15 countries.
