MAN Smart HYBRID Experience with New V12X Engine
MAN Engines is presenting the next stage of its modular hybrid system, the MAN Smart HYBRID Experience, with the new 30-liter MAN V12X engine.
With a possible system output of over 2,000 kW for a wide range of applications, MAN Engines is significantly expanding the power range of its hybrid portfolio.
More Power for Larger and More Demanding Applications
The combination of the most powerful 30-liter engine in MAN Engines’ portfolio and an electric motor with 200 or 400 kW of power opens new possibilities for larger boats and demanding applications where performance, comfort, and efficiency are required.
Proven Hybrid Technology Moves into Series Production
Parallel to the presentation of the V12X hybrid system, series production of the MAN Smart HYBRID Experience is already underway using proven engine series with six-, eight-, and 12-cylinder configurations.
These engines cover displacements from 12 to 24 liters and can be combined with electric motors rated at 200 or 400 kW, allowing for flexible hybrid solutions across multiple vessel types.

Tested in Real-World Conditions
Initial field tests in the workboat sector show that the hybrid system from MAN Engines has proven itself well, even under the most demanding operating conditions.
A key success factor of these practical tests is the extensive testing conducted on MAN test benches, where the system was evaluated using real-world load scenarios before entering service.
