ABB has contributed to the marine industry for over 100 years, and is known for introducing the Azipod® in the 1990s. In this follow up to our episode titled Sustainable Transport – Electrifying the Powertrains of Industrial Vehicles, Host Mike Murphy is joined by Edward Schwarz, ABB’s head of sales for marine systems. Traditionally marine vessels have been very independent of shoreside support for extended periods of time. However, this vessel autonomy isn’t eco-friendly. With a shift away from diesel and gas, learn how ABB is working towards providing sustainable solutions for the marine industry by driving new technologies to increase efficiency.
