Select Maritimo Models to be Powered by MTU
Maritimo has announced mtu as the official engine for its flagship vessels
A new agreement between Maritimo and mtu will see the German manufacturer’s engine as the sole high horsepower engine option for select Maritimo models.
Various mtu engine options will become available in Maritimo’s M75 Flybridge, S75 Sedan, and M600 and S600 offshore models.
Maritimo General Manager, Phil Candler, said Maritimo are excited for the future and proud of the collaboration with mtu, represented locally by Penske Australia and New Zealand.
“The decision was easy for us, as our companies share very similar values in the products we manufacture,” he said. “Maritimo and mtu both strive to create engineering with built-in simplicity, creating greater ease of operation and more pleasurable ownership experience.”
The new mtu engine option offers Maritimo owners a purpose-built marine power unit, with real time back-to-base monitoring service anywhere around the globe. mtu’s engines are all continuously rated, giving Maritimo owners the ability to operate at 100 per cent load, providing more power and more torque at any time.
Penske Australia’s Marine (East) Sales Manager, Dominic White, said the company is delighted to be partnering with Maritimo. “We provide full 24/7 connectivity, so we are there when you need us,” he said.
Maritimo will see the first mtu powered vessels hit the water in late 2022, with more to follow in the coming years.
