Electric & Hybrid Marine World Expo 2019 hailed best show yet!
With a record-breaking 130+ exhibits to see and more than 40 conference papers to learn from, the sixth edition of Electric & Hybrid Marine World Expo came to a successful conclusion last week, having welcomed thousands of attendees to the Amsterdam RAI across all three days of the annual event.
As well as the main exhibition – which was some 20% bigger than last year’s – and the adjoining Electric & Hybrid Marine World Expo Conference, there was also a free-to-attend Technology Presentation Area and the Autonomous Ship Technology Symposium, further ensuring this year’s event was undoubtedly the biggest and best yet, in every way!
Indeed, the world’s only dedicated exhibition of electric and hybrid marine charging and propulsion technologies and components saw more brand-new, cutting-edge products launched than ever before, as well as numerous exciting projects and investments announced live on the show floor.
These included the launch of a brand-new lithium-ion battery system for large- and medium-sized vessel propulsion systems from Nidec ASI. Foremost among a range of bespoke technological features was the Single Large String module, which is designed to reduce the number of modules and DC/DC and DC/AC converters required in battery packs.
