Hybrid marine gearboxes secure environmental responsibility with the advantages of flexibility. Our general motivation is environmental awareness and has been that since 2003 where we introduced our first Hybrid Gearbox solutions.
Today the latest technologies allow us for numerous of other Hybrid marine gearbox advantages, depending on vessel type, operation pattern, local regulations etc.
Primary Hybrid gearbox features are flexibility, cost-efficient, and safe operation.
ME Production supplies tailor-made solutions, why we invite our customers to work closely with our in-house organization for the best suitable solution with respect to design and operational pattern.
