Important facts about the unique marine hybrid system from MAN Engines
Perfect solutions from a single source: With the new MAN Engines marine hybrid system, we are expanding the possibilities for designing marine propulsion systems. The modularity of our hybrid systems is the solution for a wide variety of drive needs. Whether for yachts or workboats.
MAN Smart HYBRID Experience always offers the best drive solution. Through the versatile combination options with diesel engines and electric motors and components such as batteries and/or on-board gensets, the degree of hybridisation of the MAN Smart HYBRID Experience can be flexibly designed and optimised.
And the MAN Smart HYBRID Experience is even more than the perfect drive solution:
The MAN Smart HYBRID Experience integrates all essential components of the energy supply and electrical consumers into a common management system. With its customer-friendly interface, MAN Engines offers the complete solution for on-board energy supply.
Hybrid driving couldn't be easier or more convenient: With the MAN Smart HYBRID Experience, you can switch between all operating modes without interrupting power. The MAN Smart HYBRID Experience automatically adjusts the engine speeds between conventional and electric drive modes. All you have to do is select the operating mode and confirm it. It can be that simple when the best of conventional drives is combined with batteries.

A passenger ferry or pilot boat departs from a harbour purely electrically. As soon as it is on the open sea, it accelerates with the help of diesel engines. During the journey, however, it switches imperceptibly back to electric operation. Intelligent control of the speeds synchronises them to avoid sudden and unwanted changes in speed.
The perfect integration of the MAN Smart HYBRID Experience into the system landscape is, among other things, the result of extensive test bench tests: the test bench makes it possible to simulate various operating conditions that can occur in real-life use. This includes different loads, speeds, temperatures and environmental conditions.
This flexibility also makes it possible to simulate extreme conditions and thus identify potential problems or weak points at an early stage. This reduces the risk of malfunctions or failures in real use and saves time and costs during installation and commissioning. As the quantity and quality of engine data collected on the test bench is obtained faster and more accurately, the performance of the engine or system can also be analysed more precisely. This in turn helps to optimise parameters such as fuel consumption, torque, emissions and thermal efficiency and to coordinate these with the power management system. This is the only way to guarantee an efficient and powerful product.
Available series are D2862 (V12), D2868 (V8) or D2676 (in-line six-cylinder) with outputs up to 1,471 kW (2,000 HP).
Separates the diesel engine from the electric motor/generator unit. The MAN Smart HYBRID Experience enables the clutch to be engaged and disengaged without interrupting the power and therefore a smooth transition without jerking.
With an efficiency of up to 96 per cent, the electric motor/generator unit can generate a rated output of 200 kW or 400 kW.
Numerous gearbox configurations such as V-Drive, IV-Drive, parallel gearbox and Down Angle are possible.

The MAN Smart HYBRID Experience draws on a wide range of MAN Engines' engine portfolio.
All combustion engines with which the MAN Smart HYBRID Experience can be configured are approved for use with renewable diesel in accordance with the EN15940 standard in Europe and the US specification ASTM D975 of the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM). This allows customers to replace conventional petroleum-based diesel fuel and use so-called green or renewable diesel or HVO (Hydrated Vegetable Oils) instead. This reduces CO2 emissions by around 90 per cent.
In zero-emission mode, the energy supply for the drive and on-board power is exclusively battery-electric. This also has a positive effect on local noise and exhaust emissions.
