The M17 Patrol is equipped with a state-of-the-art hybrid drive that combines two Scania V8 engines with two electric motors. This configuration enables an impressive total output of 2500 to 3050 hp. This allows the boat to reach speeds of up to 60 knots while offering the ability to operate emission-free and silently in harbours. This flexibility makes the M17 Patrol particularly attractive for authorities, police and the military who require high-performance boats for long-distance operations, but also attach importance to minimising environmental impact.
Efficiency meets performance
According to Marell Boats, the M17 Patrol is the most energy-efficient hybrid high-speed boat on the market. The combination of Marell's technical expertise in boat building and Scania's innovative hybrid technology makes it possible to combine performance and environmental friendliness in a unique way.
The M17 Patrol was developed with the specific requirements of authorities and security forces in mind. The boat is designed to perform optimally both during high-speed operations on the open sea and during quiet patrols in coastal waters. The ability to switch between combustion and electric propulsion opens up new possibilities while reducing the ecological footprint of routine operations.
Forward-looking partnership
The development of the M17 Patrol is the result of a close collaboration between Marell Boats, Scania and Marine Jet Power. This partnership brings together expertise from various areas of the maritime industry and propulsion engineering. Marell Boats emphasises that together they want to lead the change towards a sustainable maritime transport system. The M17 Patrol is an important step towards the electrification of commercial vessels.
