Yanmar Holdings has announced a major corporate reorganization, splitting Yanmar Power Technology into two entities. Yanmar Power Technology will focus on industrial engines, while Yanmar Power Solutions will manage marine and industrial engines. This change, effective October 1, 2025, aims to enhance agility and align with decarbonization goals.
Yanmar has expanded its saildrive range with the new SD110 and SD150 models, designed for monohulls and catamarans up to 20 meters. These systems offer efficient propulsion, compatible with Yanmar’s standard rail engines. Featuring hydraulic shifting and compact designs, they promise seamless installation and reduced costs for manufacturers.
Yanmar Power Technology recently completed a successful land-based demonstration test of a pilot-ignition hydrogen 4-stroke high-speed engine for coastal vessels. The engine achieved the world’s highest hydrogen fuel ratio and produced 500kW output. Yanmar is also developing zero-emission engines using biofuel and spark-ignition technology. The project is part of zero emission ship demonstration experiment.
