AKA’s Marine Hybrid Propulsion System has captured the attention of the marine industry with significant economic and environmental savings.

The AKA hybrid system is comprised of a diesel engine and an electric motor that independently or simultaneously drive a propulsion shaft.

The AKA hybrid system configures the most effective power and propulsion options to meet the needs of the vessel’s operation. The multiple system configurations also provide redundancy by offering alternate sources of power to the vessel.

Applicable to a wide range of vessels, the hybrid system presents a clean and simple solution that is customizable to a vessel’s power and propulsion requirements.

The AKA hybrid system integrates electrical and mechanical devices onboard a vessel to provide optimal modes of operation for power and propulsion. The hybrid system’s energy management system strives to eliminate the unnecessary idling of diesel engines by determining the most efficient configuration of the electrical and mechanical devices onboard at any given time.
