ABB partnering with Ferrari for marine electrification

ABB announced a technology partnership with Ferrari Hypersail September 14 that brings the former company's electrification expertise to what it calls "the world’s most ambitious offshore challenge." As an electrification partner, ABB reportedly will support the challenge with expertise across marine power, Direct Current (DC) technology and advanced electrical systems, according to a company press release.

Ferrari Hypersail (pictured above) is a 100-foot oceanic, full-foiling monohull yacht powered by renewable energy. The vessel is designed to "push the boundaries" of sustainable marine performance, ABB says, bringing together speed, resilience and safety with onboard energy generation and management in one of the most technically demanding environments.

ABB brings more than 25 years of experience in DC technology to the partnership, backed by a portfolio of more than 700 patents in the field. As electrification partner, ABB will support Ferrari Hypersail with expertise across energy management, marine electrical systems, and energy storage.
