Nanni’s hybrid system, which will be available from September 2009 combined with a diesel engine of up to 200 hp, has been tested since 2007 in order to ensure that it can be easily and securely fitted, either initially or as a later option; Nanni has taken great care to ensure that it is easy to use…
…one turn of the key from the “cockpit” is all it takes, with the same engine control making it possible to control the boat, in both electrical and thermal mode.
Two features, electrical propulsion / thermal propulsion
One compact and light product.
A well thought out technology
The principle is based on a generator - Power Unit - inserted between the engine block and the reverser or sail drive.
Developed by Nanni, it enables the batteries to be charged up again when the thermal engine is running, then powers the electrical propulsion when the thermal unit stops.
An electronic management unit, a genuine brain for the hybrid system, independently controls and transforms the energy, using it to either charge the batteries up again or power the electrical engine.
Real-time information is provided on electrical mode consumption and remaining power thanks to an integrated indicator on the dashboard.
In thermal propulsion mode
The thermal engine drives the propeller and enables the hybrid system to charge up the batteries again.
In electrical propulsion mode
The thermal engine is stopped; the boatʼs propulsion is ensured by the Power Unit intercalated generator thanks to the energy built up in the batteries.
Its main benefits
Nanni’s hybrid system makes it possible to access a new approach to navigation, benefiting from the comfort of use needed and the essential security provided by conventional motorization.
At the same time, in terms of sustainability and savings, it makes it possible to reduce emissions and fuel costs.
Nanni’s hybrid system benefits from a surprising level of running time, even using a mid-size battery unit, adopting reasonable speeds.
