VOLVO PENTA and Danfoss’ Editron division have established a partnership to take marine electromobility to the next level. This supports the Volvo Group’s commitment to the Science Based Targets initiative, made in May 2020. This announcement laid out the company’s next steps in adjusting and futureproofing in line with the ambitions of the Paris Climate Agreement. Meanwhile, Danfoss is currently on track to become CO2 neutral in all of its global operations by 2030.

By cooperating on R&D, Volvo Penta and Danfoss’ Editron division will deliver robust, reliable, and efficient electrification packages to a broader part of the marine commercial market.

By working together from the design phase right through to installation, commissioning, and aftermarket support, the goal is a seamless experience of the delivery of vessels. This joint approach – from sales to aftermarket – will make things easier for customers, operators, and yards in the future.

Danfoss’ Editron division’s Marine Business Unit focuses on delivering electric systems to ferries, workboats, and superyachts.

“Our vision is to become a leader in sustainable power solutions, where we are driving transformation on land and at sea towards a more sustainable society,” says Heléne Mellquist, president of Volvo Penta.
