The HyShip modules will be supplemented with a battery system and the hydrogen storage system based on metal hydride to an emission-free electric drive train.

As well as this, the multiple HyShip 72 applications provide power supply for recreational, passenger, cargo, working, military ships and submarines.

The waste heat can also be used thermally, as intended for ZEUS, to extract the hydrogen from the metal hydrate.

This order will be fully completed in February with follow-up orders in the field of green shipping respectively existing ones are currently being produced.

As part of this, it will include, for example, the collaboration in the project Ma-Hy-Hy (Marine-Hydrogen-Hybrid), which is being realised together with Torqeedo GmbH for the development of a marine high-voltage hybrid drive system with a battery and a hydrogen fuel cell.

Alexander Adrian, Sales Manager at Proton Motor, said, “The entire Proton Motor team is very proud of our high-performance product portfolio for emission-free mobility.

“With high-tech innovations based on hydrogen fuel cells, we are making a decisive contribution to the success of a sustainable and green maritime energy transition and in the general transport sector.”
