The Blue Vision New Generation automation system is currently being presented by Tognum subsidiary MTU Friedrichshafen GmbH at the Genoa International Boat Show, running from October 6 to 14. The company is located on Piazzale Marina scoperta, booth F2. It is an automation system for the monitoring as well as remote control of propulsion systems based on MTU Series 2000 or 4000 engines.
New MTU automation system tested in luxury motor yacht SL 104 by Sanlorenzo
The system will be available in a simple, non-classifiable version called Blue Vision Basic New Generation and in an expanded classifiable version called Blue Vision Advanced New Generation. At a later stage of development, Blue Vision Premium New Generation will represent the most comprehensive system.
The new automation system has recently undergone sea trials in a 34m yacht made by the Italian yacht builder Sanlorenzo. The semi-displacement yacht SL 104 (an example of this model is the motor yacht Indigo) is also on show in Genoa (at berth pier F) and is propelled by twin 16V 2000 M93 engines from MTU, each delivering 1,790kW power output.
New Control Lever for yacht control stands by MTU
Also being showcased by MTU is a yacht control stand with a design study of new bridge components. Equipment such as control levers, displays, operating consoles and instruments have been styled by Italian designer Pininfarina. With its standard, smooth new look for these components, MTU is responding to the exclusive requirements of yacht owners. The Pininfarina-designed equipment can be integrated into any yacht control stand, and is therefore also suitable for modular-built series yachts. It is also to be made compatible with MTU’s Blue Vision New Generation automation system.
