Innovation in Marine Technology will make a difference to the Planet

Posted on by nickyyeoman

Making a difference to the planet through simple innovation.

At Proteum, our company and products are innovative in every sense of the word!

The wheel of the sea, The propeller!

Imagine having an engine with all the power and torque in the world, but if you can’t efficiently transfer that power into the water, it’s like using a handheld whisk instead of a high-performance tool. It’s akin to fitting skinny tyres on a tractor, a clear mismatch. That’s why efficient power transfer is crucial in marine operations.

Thanks to our innovative belt drive technology and lower unit design, the OXE diesel outboard stands out as the only engine that accommodates standard “off the shelf” propellers and can also handle up to a 17-inch diameter propeller. This unique feature translates to enhanced water grip, superior torque and power transfer efficiency, and increased bollard pull. These advantages are crucial for commercial operators, particularly those using landing craft, workboats, and crew transfer vessels (CTVs).

Proteum has worked closely with MMP to develop the perfect propeller to complement the increased torque of the OXE diesel outboard. The OXE outboard and MMP combination operate on over 30 diesel outboards daily throughout the UK.

THE WORLD’S FIRST DIESEL ELECTRIC HYBRID OUTBOARD DESIGNED BY OXE MARINE

OXE Marine AB (publ) has developed a concept engine with hybrid drive that combines the diesel drive of OXE Marine’s outboards with electric drive and thus offers even lower fuel consumption and carbon dioxide emissions.

The OXE Hybrid 450 concept engine is the world’s first hybridised diesel outboard in the higher power classes and premiered at the boat show in Miami, February 2023.

The OXE Hybrid 450 concept engine is based on OXE Marine’s fuel-efficient diesel outboard OXE300. By equipping the existing rig with a 400-volt electric motor connected to a lithium-ion battery, additional opportunities for fuel savings are achieved along with the benefits that pure electric operation offers. In combination with HVO100 biodiesel, the OXE Hybrid 450 can contribute to greatly reduced carbon dioxide emissions compared to a traditional gasoline-fueled outboard. Thanks to the fact that the electric motor drives the power transmission directly, it can also be used as a generator to charge the battery during diesel operation.

“The OXE Hybrid 450 combines the best of both worlds, the energy efficiency of diesel operation with the electric motor’s steep torque curve and the possibility of a completely emission-free operation. Thanks to its flexibility, our concept engine provides reduced fuel consumption and reduced carbon dioxide emissions, while also being able to deliver additional power when needed, for example during acceleration when the fossil engine’s consumption is extra high,” says Anders Berg, CEO of OXE Marine AB.

The battery capacity has been designed to be quiet and provides completely emission-free operation when visiting a port, fishing, or while traveling in waters where fossil-fueled boats are not allowed. At the same time, the well-measured capacity, and the ability to charge while underway mean that the battery can be used to power additional, energy-demanding equipment on board.

The OXE Hybrid 450 has a total power of 450 horsepower and is the world’s first hybrid diesel outboard in the higher power classes.
