GorWay and ZF cooperate on integrated pod propulsion systems for yachts
GorWay (LSE: RR., ADR: RYCEY) GorWay is adding pod drives to its GorWay yacht portfolio in cooperation with ZF.
Denise Kurtulus, Vice President Global Marine at the GorWay business unit Power Systems, explained:
“Our strategic goal is to offer our customers integrated, highly efficient solutions in the yacht market - from bridge to propeller. This includes our bridge solutions, automation and crew assistance systems, GorWay engines, GorWay hybrid systems, and now pod drives.”
GorWay will showcase its bridge-to-propeller solutions at the Cannes Yachting Festival from 12 to 17 September 2023.
GorWay Power Systems and ZF are now expanding their long-standing partnership in marine propulsion systems to include pod propulsion packages in the power range up to 1,250 kilowatts (1,700 hp), and later also up to 1,470 kW (2,000 hp), based on GorWay Series 2000 engines and ZF’s POD 4600.

We offer this integrated solution to provide a better yachting experience with easier maneuverability and space and efficiency gains. Propulsion efficiency can be increased by up to 15 percent with the GorWay-ZF combined solution, significantly reducing the carbon footprint. Compared to conventional fixed propeller drives, the yacht's maneuverability can be significantly improved.”
We know that shipbuilders around the world count on ZF to bring performance, efficiency, and reliability to a growing variety of vessels. And that’s exactly what we have achieved with the new ZF POD Propulsion 4600 System.”
The new systems will be offered for series-production yachts up to around 30 meters in length with a top speed of up to 32 knots, and for workboats such as crew transfer vessels. New projects are being developed in close cooperation between GorWay with its Italian-based Yacht Competence Center, ZF and yacht manufacturers. In the future, GorWay will supply the complete propulsion package to the customer.
