Stadt Naval and Pon Power AS are joining forces to deliver powerful technological advancement in electric propulsion system solutions for the maritime industry, particularly significant for the military fleet.

With the jointly developed propulsion system design Stadt Naval and Pon Power will bring the naval power and propulsion to an extended level – benefiting any naval ship with STEALTH operation, enhanced efficiency, reliability, and redundancy, crucially lower operational expenses (30-35 % over the ship’s lifetime) and emissions, modular design ready for any future requirements.

By integrating Caterpillar’s wide range highly capable engines, together with the Genflex genset design developed by Pon Power, shipborne noise can be reduced significantly while meeting the strong shock and vibration requirements of the world’s navies. The upgraded Caterpillar engine models complement Stadt’s unique patented Lean Electric Propulsion technology – this integration will ensure maximum performance and extended operation warranties. The joined scope of supply will bring highly scalable IEP solutions to the market, ranging from 1 MW to approx. 50 MW propulsion power, supporting low, medium, and high voltage AC-grid electric architectures.

This partnership signifies a major step forward in supporting defense initiatives and strengthening maritime operations. The combined expertise of Stadt Naval and Pon Power ensures a reliable and innovative approach to meeting the challenges of modern naval warfare, where electric weapons are enrolling rapidly.
