ABB has announced the launch of the AMXE Marine Motor, a next-generation electric propulsion solution designed specifically to endure the demanding conditions at sea. This innovative motor is engineered to withstand continuous exposure to corrosive saltwater and powerful ocean currents, reflecting ABB’s extensive experience in marine applications and other heavy-duty industries such as mining and rail.
More Resilient
ABB has unveiled its new AMXE Marine Motor, designed to offer an important advantage for vessels where space and weight are critical considerations. This motor boasts the highest power density in ABB’s motor portfolio, delivering more power while occupying less weight and space.
Built specifically for demanding marine applications, the AMXE Marine Motor is engineered for durability in harsh sea environments. It is designed to resist corrosion, withstand shock and vibration, and ensure high reliability through its robust insulation design. Its compact, water-cooled design eliminates the need for external ventilation systems, contributing to reduced noise and vibration for a quieter and more comfortable onboard operation.
The AMXE Marine Motor offers customization to meet the diverse needs of various small vessels, ensuring seamless integration while upholding ABB’s high standards for performance and reliability. Its compact size and smart terminal box also simplify installation across different marine settings, whether in engine rooms or on open decks. ABB’s global network and local experts will provide comprehensive lifecycle support, ensuring fast and responsive service at every stage.
This launch is particularly timely for the maritime industry, which is facing immense pressure to decarbonize as global marine trade is estimated to triple by 2050. With the International Maritime Organization (IMO) setting a target of net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050, solutions like the AMXE Marine Motor are crucial contributors. By providing a high-performance, low-emission alternative to traditional propulsion systems, ABB aims to help shipbuilders and operators enhance their productivity and efficiency while transitioning to more sustainable fleets.
David Segbers, Global Product Manager Lead at ABB, Mobile e-Power Products, stated, “With the AXME Marine Motor, we’re delivering a powerful, compact solution that meets the real-world demands of today’s marine industry. It’s built to perform in tough conditions, and help operators make the shift to more sustainable, future-ready fleets.”
