Osaka Bay's first LNG tugboat, "Ishin" was completed at Kobe Port on February 27, 2019 and since March 2020, has been working in Osaka Bay and the Seto Inland Sea guiding large vessels in the area. Yanmar supplied two marine dual fuel engines (6EY26DF), as well as the fuel supply system which included the LNG fuel tank, buffer tank, and gas fuel device.
anmar has received an order from Mitsui O.S.K. Lines, Ltd for dual fuel 8EY26LDF engines. The engines will be used to power generators on board Japan’s first two LNG ferries (provisionally named “Sunflower Kurenai” and “Sunflower Murasaki”). The ferries are to be built at Mitsubishi Shipbuilding Co., Ltd.’s Shimonoseki Shipyard.
Agriculture in the future will see increasing use of scientifically precise farming techniques, where automated ‘agro-bots’ monitor, treat and work the land, using advanced technology designed to help maximize yields and minimize disease. With its extensive experience in automation and agricultural mechanization, Yanmar is now showing the way in advanced field robotics research.
Our ageing national grid infrastructures need to be upgraded or replaced with more efficient, environmentally friendly and secure networks. However, how smart are ‘smart grids’ and what’s the ‘smartest’ way for them to incorporate the latest developments in ‘virtual’ power plant technology? Fortunately, Yanmar and its European research partners are working to help provide the answers.
The eFuzion concept, primarily developed by Yanmar’s robotics research team, is a working demonstration of a precision machine with a robot arm that shows the possibilities of autonomous construction machinery of the future.
At the BayWa Winter Service Demo Event in Munich, Germany, Yanmar compact tractors were center stage demonstrating their utility in the important tasks of mowing and greens maintenance, street cleaning and maintenance, snow removal and soil preparation or even agricultural work. Visitors had a chance to examine the tractors in detail and even drive them to see how they really operate.
The remarkable story of Williams Jet Tenders (Williams) began when two young brothers turned a passion for the water into a thriving tender business with quality engineering and craftsmanship at its core. The UK’s most prolific boat builder, outputting around 1,000 units a year, Williams relies on the superior torque of Yanmar's marine diesel engines for its ‘Dieseljet’ range of tenders.
For many adventure-seekers travelling to their dream destinations, a power yacht or catamaran is typically how the journey of a lifetime begins. Three marine brands – Leopard, The Moorings and Sunsail – are working to provide unforgettable travel experiences for those in search of original and dramatic sailing adventures, and at the heart of every adventure is a clean Yanmar diesel engine.
With demand for catamarans increasing, especially in the growing charter market, French catamaran builder Catana, a market leader with over three decades experience setting high standards in offshore performance, comfort and safety has teamed with Japanese engine manufacturer Yanmar, which has more than a century of experience in building the world's most reliable and durable diesel engines.
Leading global manufacturer of engines and industrial equipment, Yanmar, has entered the food industry, with its gluten-free Rice gelée ingredient. Yanmar showed Rice gelée at the world’s largest food innovation exhibition. Rice gelée, a natural gluten-free food product made from just rice and water, was met with great interest at its first outing outside of Japan.
Silver Arrows and Mercedes-Benz Style have spent four years creating a unique and exciting sailing experience, incorporating cutting-edge engine technology from Yanmar. Reinventing standards within the class, they have designed and build a 14-meter motor yacht that embraces life, with the quality and prestige of a superyacht.
With beginnings in Osaka, Japan in 1912, Yanmar was the first ever to succeed in making a compact diesel engine of a practical size in 1933. Moving on, with industrial diesel engines as the cornerstone of the enterprise, Yanmar has continued to expand its product range, services, and expertise to deliver total solutions as an industrial equipment manufacturer. As a provider of small and large engines, agricultural machinery and facilities, construction equipment, energy systems, marine, machine tools, and components — Yanmar’s global business operations span seven domains.
On land, at sea, and in the city, Yanmar’s Mission of “providing sustainable solutions focused on the challenges customers face, in food production and harnessing power, thereby enriching people’s lives for all our tomorrows,” stands testament to Yanmar’s determination to provide us with “A Sustainable Future”.
