ABB’s 3D animation solution for its 1 billion order revenue offering (Azipod) is an attraction at Nor-shipping.

ABB is the world leader in electric propulsion, and offers a full range of systems, from variable speed electric machinery for shaftline propulsion and mechanical thusters to the unique family of Azipod podded propulsion systems.

An extensive development project within ABB Marine was established in 2007 with the objective of developing a next generation, further enhanced Azipod® propulsion unit family.

The next generation Azipod is a centerpiece of ABB's world famous electric propulsion system for ships, which usually consists of an Azipod, a frequency converter and a power supply.

Azipod units increase fuel efficiency by up to 15 percent in vessels using an efficient design that delivers enhanced maneuverability in harbors and confined areas.
