Marine propulsion solutions

Pushing a displacement hull through the water is a tough job, especially when going against the waves, moving upstream or engaging fishing gear.

Therefore, every part of the propulsion system must be optimised to keep fuel consumption as low as possible. Scania is renowned for industry-leading fuel efficiency irrespective of emission standard, and a given choice for anyone who seeks to optimise fuel economy without compromising performance.

Powered for heavy-duty work

• Instant response and uncompromising torque at low revs for performance at every speed.
• Hybrid electric options for even more performance.
• The natural choice for heavy-duty operation in rough conditions.

Reliability and uptime

• Perfectly suited for: Workboats, passenger and road ferries, short-sea cargo vessels, barges, professional fishing fleets, pushers, tugs, and similar applications.
  
• Long service life, instant parts availability, easy servicing, and a global network of Scania workshops with expert advice and Scania parts. Providing minimised downtime and lowered costs.
• Hybrid electric propulsion redundancy – with independent operation of electric machine and main engine.

Saving weight is the obvious way to increase performance and reduce fuel consumption of any planing vessel.

Thanks to the unrivalled power-to-weight ratio and compact dimensions of Scania marine engines, boat designers have great opportunities to optimise the installation and set new standards in operational efficiency and profitability. A bold statement perhaps, but Scania marine engines really are the lightweight champions in this field.

Always ready for action

• Outstanding track record for uptime and reliability for demanding fast-speed applications such as search and rescue boats, pilot boats, governmental patrol and defence vessels.
• Impressive acceleration through prompt engine response and uncompromising low-rev performance.
• Extreme durability and long service life makes Scania’s marine engines ideal also for crew transfer vessels in offshore wind farms, fast-speed ferries, charter yachts and high-speed boats.

Absolutely adaptable

• Flat power curve all the way up to maximum engine speed – simplifying match of engine and propulsor for best possible operating economy.
• Simplified repowering, in many cases while keeping the existing transmission and propeller.
• Pollution-free and silent harbour operations or low-speed cruising on battery power with our hybrid system.
